Guard the owning-window lookup in FileSelectHelper::RunFileChooserOnUIThread. Add ceftests DialogTest.FileInputOSR test for triggering and canceling a file input in OSR mode.
CEF Test Applications
This directory contains sample applications and test suites demonstrating the Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF).
Sample Applications
cefsimple
Minimal C++ browser application - the recommended starting point for learning CEF.
- Purpose: Learning CEF basics
- Complexity: ~10 source files
- Best for: Understanding CEF architecture and fundamental APIs
- Tutorial: CEF Tutorial provides detailed walkthrough
cefsimple_capi
Pure C implementation of cefsimple using the CEF C API.
- Purpose: C API reference implementation
- Language: Pure C (C11), no C++
- Best for: Embedding CEF in C projects or when C++ is unavailable
- Documentation: Using the CAPI
cefclient
Comprehensive sample application demonstrating advanced CEF features.
- Purpose: Feature demonstration and manual testing
- Complexity: ~100+ source files
- Features: Full CEF API coverage, built-in test framework, multiple UI modes
- Best for: Reference implementation, exploring advanced features
Test Suite
ceftests
Automated unit test suite for CEF API validation.
- Purpose: Automated regression testing
- Framework: Google Test (gtest)
- Coverage: Comprehensive CEF API testing across all platforms
- Best for: CI/CD integration, validating CEF releases
Shared Code
shared
Common utilities and helpers used by cefclient and ceftests.
- Delegate pattern framework for application customization
- Message loop implementations (standard, external pump, multi-threaded)
- Cross-platform resource loading and file utilities
- Not used by cefsimple or cefsimple_capi (self-contained examples)
Learning Path
New to CEF? Follow this recommended path:
- Start with cefsimple and the CEF Tutorial to understand CEF architecture
- Explore cefclient to see advanced features and integration patterns
- Review ceftests to understand API usage and testing patterns
- Study shared code for reusable patterns and best practices
For C API development, substitute cefsimple_capi for cefsimple and consult Using the CAPI.
