Bug 255962

Currently the script run-minibrowser passed to the minibrowser any extra parameter not recognized by the script, which in theory is fine but in some cases it causes issues.

For example, on WPE, is not possible to properly execute Cog with another platform plugins and a custom URL.

Example 1)

$ Tools/Scripts/run-minibrowser --wpe -P drm https://spyber.com

This ends executing "cog -P https://spyber.com drm" because the script picks the first parameter without a dash as the URL (so it thinks "drm" is the URL)


$ Tools/Scripts/run-minibrowser --wpe --platform=drm https://spyber.com

This gives error because --platform is a parameter that the script wants to parse itself instead of passing it to cog (it checks for platform in [wpe, gtk, mac, etc]))


The only possible way of doing it is inverting the order

$ Tools/Scripts/run-minibrowser --wpe https://spyber.com -P drm 


Which is far from evident unless you know the issue.


We can improve this by allowing to specify something like this:

Tools/Scripts/run-minibrowser --wpe --minibrowser-args="-P drm" https://spyber.com


That way there is no confusion and we can even pass to cog parameters like --minibrowser-args='--help' so we can get Cog to print its own help instead of getting the help from the script run-minibrowser
