I haven't blogged on Friday, so consider this the blog post for Friday and Monday!

On Friday I had to go to the dentist again, so not as much time available as I'd hoped. I was mainly busy with some more organizational stuff for the crowdfunding and general maintenance. I also finally added the backers file to the documentation!

Today I continued working on refactoring all QtWebKit-specific code so there's a well-defined API, and most (271) end-to-end tests pass by now:

• backforward
• caret
• history
• javascript
• keyinput
• marks
• misc
• navigate
• open
• prompts
• search
• sessions
• urlmarks
• zoom

The following commands/features now work again with QtWebKit:

• Searching
• Opening a new window via JS
• :undo
• :buffer completion
• :follow-selected
• :debug-clear-ssl-errors
• Loading of marks
• Loading of sessions
• :debug-webaction
• :inspect
• :view-source
• Passing through keys to a website

13 tests still fail:

• downloads
  • test_downloading_as_mhtml_is_available
  • test_downloading_as_mhtml_with_nonascii_headers
  • test_cancelling_a_mhtml_download_issue_1535
• editor
  • test_spawning_an_editor_successfully
• scroll
  • test_scrollpage_with_a_very_big_value
• spawn
  • test_starting_a_userscript_which_doesnt_exist
  • test_running_spawn_with_userscript
• tabs
  • test_buffer_with_a_matching_title
• yankpaste
  • test_pasting_the_primary_selection_into_an_empty_text_field
  • test_pasting_the_primary_selection_into_a_text_field_at_specific_position
  • test_pasting_the_primary_selection_into_a_text_field_with_undo
  • test_pasting_the_primary_selection_without_a_focused_field
  • test_pasting_the_primary_selection_with_a_readonly_field

The scroll and tabs ones should be trivial fixes. For downloads, editor, spawn and yankpaste some more work and extending the API will probably be needed.

I also started implementing the existing API for QtWebEngine - unfortunately API to get the scroll position from a QWebEngineView was only implemented in Qt 5.7, and the current PyQt 5.6 doesn't wrap that yet.

There's also no API to scroll the page - I tried emulating key presses like I did with QtWebKit, but for some reason that did nothing at all...
