            Bug ID: 284070
           Summary: Unable to reasonably test AutoInstaller (because it is
                    a singleton)
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: New Bugs
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

At the moment, writing any sort of unit tests for the AutoInstaller is very difficult — because it's a singleton, and thus changing any state changes behaviour for everything.

There's no strong reason for it to be a singleton — one could imagine multiple active AutoInstaller on the meta search path, each with different packages registered.

We should make it into a normal class, with webkitcorepy.AutoInstaller a "default" instance.
