Description
Chromium runs thousands of interactive UI tests that need synthesized input. On Wayland
there's no portable way to do that, and the reference compositor (weston) doesn't implement
enough of the real protocol surface to be representative. So we forked mutter, taught it
Chromium's ui-controls protocol, and wired it into our CI to run interactive tests on a
real compositor for both pre- and post-submit. This lightning talk covers what that took,
what broke, and why every app project shouldn't have to reinvent this, closing with a pitch
to standardize cross-compositor application testing (cf. wayland-protocols #230).
