           Summary: [GTK] Don't log document events in DRT
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: Gtk
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Accessibility
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: msanchez at igalia.com


Some months ago, we introduced a new feature in the WKGTK's DRT so it could log accessibility related events just by telling it so (accessibilityController.logAccessibilityEvents()), which basically meant that the following type of events would be logged:

   1. Events related to the accessible objects: 'state-change', 'focus-event', 'visible-data-changed'...
   2. Events related to the 'document' representing the web, that is, the following three events: 'load-complete', 'load-stopped' and 'reload'.

It turned out that, while the first kind of loggintg (1) proved itself to be really useful and convenient, the second one presented several problems, specially in those cases where the layout test was performing reloads, contained different frames... behaving with certain flakyness some times, which caused some tests (sometimes completely unrelated to this loading events) to be skipped, since the actual output was different in those document-related lines.

So, and based in some other experiences, I'm proposing now to remove the second kinf of logging (2) from the WKGTK's DRT, and so replace the layout test 'document-reload-events.html' with a new unit test in testatk.c

Patch coming in some minutes...
