Hi, what exactly is the problem? The subject line of your email says
load-failed, and your test code prints "Load failed" if the load fails,
but your example here prints "Load finished" -- so the load completed
successfully. What exactly were you expecting to happen
differently?

If you are concerned about the accessibility error, you are missing at
-spi2-core.

The subject line of your email says you're using 2.8.3, but this is the
Autotools configuration that was removed after 2.4, so you must be
using 2.4 or below. Another hint is that you built with WebKit1
support, which was also removed after 2.4. So it would be good to
figure out what version you are really using. ;)

A quick check of go-webkit2 shows they use the webkit2gtk-3.0 API of
version 2.4, which is very slightly different from the webkit2gtk-4.0
API provided by 2.6 and newer. So I guess you are not using the version
of WebKit that you think you have packaged after all.
