Created attachment 87292 [details] Patch proposal + Layout test Attaching patch proposal + Layout test. Note: the patch is basically about adding an extra condition to the 'if' statement. - if (axObject->isAccessibilityRenderObject()) { - Node* node = static_cast<AccessibilityRenderObject*>(axObject)->renderer()->node(); - if (node) { + if (coreObject->isAccessibilityRenderObject()) { + Node* node = static_cast<AccessibilityRenderObject*>(coreObject)->renderer()->node(); + if (node && coreObject->ariaRoleAttribute() == UnknownRole) { Then I also made the most of this patch to rename the axObject variable (normally used to refer instances of AtkObject) to coreObject, which is the normal variable name used for instances of AccessibilityObject. I know it messes up a little bit the patch but in the long term it makes IMHO the code cleaner and, after all, the patch is not that big and complex to consider it unreviewable, I think :-)

Comment on attachment 87292 [details] Patch proposal + Layout test You should probably enable the other test that led to the creation of this bug (and verify that test passes now)

(In reply to comment #5) > (From update of attachment 87292 [details]) > You should probably enable the other test that led to the creation of this bug (and verify that test passes now) Guess you mean platform/gtk/accessibility/aria-table-hierarchy.html, right? If that's the case I'm much afraid I can't skip it yest since, even when this patch improves the result (tables are seen as tables, not sections), there's still a bug in the GTK port which prevents it to see the rows and cols, and thus the cells, in those tables. And that should be IMHO addressed through a different bug I'll probably file later on.

About the bug preventing from unskipping the other layout test, if it's ok to you, I'd prefer to file it after fixing this stuff, so I can be sure about what the root problem actually is.

Comment on attachment 87371 [details] Patch proposal + Layout test can you also add in the mappings for the mac wrapper. it should be clear

(In reply to comment #10) > (From update of attachment 87371 [details]) > can you also add in the mappings for the mac wrapper. it should be clear Sure, I just thought it would already work that way without doing anything, like some kind of fallback. But no problem in adding explicit lines in the mac wrapper of course (jsut hope to do it right)

Comment on attachment 87375 [details] Patch proposal + Layout test Looks good. Thanks

(In reply to comment #13) > (From update of attachment 87375 [details]) > Looks good. Thanks Thanks to you for the responsiveness and quick reviews! Now I'm in a hurry, but first thing I'll do tomorrow morning will be to check the problem around the aria-table-hierarchy.html test and file a bug accordingly. Now closing this, as it seems webkit-patch failed to do it so... Committed r82295: <http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/82295>

Reopening as it seems the current patch was twice wrong :-(: 1. It made Chromium bots to fail compiling 2. It made Leopard tests to fail About (1), I tried to quickly write a patch to fix it when I thought that was the only problem, but it seems I messed up in one line and that I basically replaced one compilation problem with another one :/. The patch I committed to fix that was committed in review 82300 [1], and the wrong line in there is obviously this one: COMPILE_ASSERT_MATCHING_ENUM(WebAccessibilityRoleDiv, LabelRole); Most likely, if I hadn't made that mistake Chromium bots would be compiling fine, so it's worth bearing this in mind when writing the next pach. Anyway, that was not enough since later on we found out about the problem (2), so we finally decided to roll out both revisions 82295 and 82300 through bug 57380, as I have no more time today to sit down, think and write a patch that doesn't make those leopard tests to fail [2]. Thus, tomorrow will be a new day and I will get back to this stuff. In the meanwhile, let's reopen this... [1]http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/82300 [2]http://build.webkit.org/results/Leopard%20Intel%20Release%20%28Tests%29/r82295%20%2830326%29/results.html

This is strange that it would only affect leopard. And it's strange that it happens. It indicates that some element's role changed away from NSAccessibilityGroup, which would remove the the title ui element attribute. we might have to check in skip lists and then file another bug to fix

(In reply to comment #17) > [...] > This is strange that it would only affect leopard. And it's strange that it > happens. Well, actually I have double checked now and it seems it's also failing in Snow Leopard as well: http://build.webkit.org/results/SnowLeopard%20Intel%20Release%20%28Tests%29/r82295%20%2827423%29/accessibility > It indicates that some element's role changed away from > NSAccessibilityGroup, which would remove the the title ui element attribute. we > might have to check in skip lists and then file another bug to fix By just reading the code in AccessibilityObjectWrapper.mm (and please take the following with a grain of salt), I have the feeling the problem with those tests is that they use some of the four elements we defined new roles for (e.g. <p>) and, even if the following code gets executed... - (NSArray*)accessibilityAttributeNames { [...] if (groupAttrs == nil) { tempArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithArray:attributes]; [tempArray addObject:NSAccessibilityTitleUIElementAttribute]; groupAttrs = [[NSArray alloc] initWithArray:tempArray]; [tempArray release]; } [...] } ...the value of that groupAttrs is being ignored because the accessible objects associated to the conflictive element are returning false when calling to isGroup() (as the do not have roleValue() == GroupRole), hence the following code is not executed: [...] else if (m_object->isGroup() || m_object->isListItem()) objectAttributes = groupAttrs; [...] ...and thus at the end the objectAttributes variable will hold just the content of the original attributes variable, which contains everything in the expected output but the AXTitleUIElement. I basically see two solutions from my ignorant perspective: 1. Add more OR conditions to the "if (m_object->isGroup() || m_object->isListItem())" statement, so it gets executed as well for ParagraphRole, DivRole, FormRole and LabelRole. 2. Make the new code in AccessibilityRenderObject::determineAccessibilityRole() GTK-only, leaving it as it was before for the rest of the platforms. Among these two options, I think (2) is the best one since it just changes the behaviour for GTK and the other platforms would keep working as they do right now, so I'll work on a new patch that way, but feel free to suggest me to do it in another way if you think it makes sense. Thanks and excuse my verbosity :-)

Attaching new patch addressing the problem with Mac in the previously mentioned way: now only GTK is actually affected, and the rest of the ports should remain unaltered. Still, as the new roles are not GTK-specific, I maintained the changes in Mac wrapper (explicit mapping to Group role) and Chromium (duplicating the web core roles in those assertions). I hope this time it's the right one. Will wait anyway for the EWS to run, to gain peace of mind :-)

I think that should be amended to reflect the new reality so that isGroup() perhaps calls into platform specific code to determine if something is a group. > Among these two options, I think (2) is the best one since it just changes the behaviour for GTK and the other platforms would keep working as they do right now, so I'll work on a new patch that way, but feel free to suggest me to do it in another way if you think it makes sense. > > Thanks and excuse my verbosity :-)

Answering the two comments in a row... (In reply to comment #20) > [...] > Can you file a Mac bug that raises this issue and assign it to me. I think > the correct behavior is for all these elements to be group elements. If I raise a bug for this I think it wouldn't be Mac only, since GTK code would also benefit of that change, at least because that way AccessibilityObject::allowsTextRanges() wouldn't need any change as it needs now, since the already present isGroup() call would work for all these 4 elements as well (as I thin it would be OK to consider those 4 elements as Group elements as well in GTK). I'll file that new bug and will comment this specific thing in the description. > r=me with minor nits. Ok. > > LayoutTests/ChangeLog:11 > > + > > this comment is duplicated in the this changelog Oops, fixing it now. (In reply to comment #21) > [...] > isGroup() appears to be a platform dependent method, that's living in WebCore. > I think that should be amended to reflect the > new reality so that isGroup() > perhaps calls into platform specific code to determine if something is a group. I like this. The default implementation could just still be return role == GroupRole, though, despite of Mac and GTK adding the new 4 roles that list in platform specific code. But, as you said, that's better another bug.
