We'd like to be able to reuse Gecko's invalidation tests as well as being able to test in wrench.

To do this we need to be able get a dirty rect out of webrender that gets passed into the appropriate places in Gecko.

For wrench, we want to be able to specify multiple yaml files that are rendered incrementally and then compared to drawing the final yaml from scratch without any caching in between.
Priority: -- → P3

Glenn and I just discussed this.

Hooking up to Gecko's invalidation tests would be useful because it gives us a large body of pre-existing tests. Hooking it up for Wrench would be useful because it makes it easiest for Glenn to add tests for bugs as he fixes them. The latter is more urgent, but I'll see what's involved in the former and how much of the work is the same.

Per discussion, there are two kinds of tests that we want:
(1) Load a series of yaml files to be loaded incrementally, and compare with a final result.
(2) Load two yaml files, and assert what the dirty rects are.

I haven't yet thought enough about this to decide whether they should be separate or unified syntax. I'll think about this more when I have a minute, probably Friday.

Glenn was going to link me to the code that manages the dirty rect that I'll need to expose.

Flags: needinfo?(gwatson)

The dirty world rect is calculated and stored here - https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/gfx/wr/webrender/src/picture.rs#1256.

It could possibly also write this to a field in FrameVisibilityState or similar that is then available at the top of the callstack after this pass is complete (the multiple dirty rects patch I'm working on does something similar to this for other reasons).

There are various testing-only things we want to do here, specifically
copying around dirty regions, and shrinking the tile size. We could make
each of these specific options and thread them all through to the right
places, but that adds complexity without a use-case. So we just add a
simple testing mode for wrench.

Per discussion with gw, the current behavior is an oversight. We also
want to expose this to wrench.

Depends on D17993

The current code panics with an out-of-bounds access here if picture
caching is used outside an iframe.

Depends on D17994

Note that the dirty rect assertions don't seem to quite work yet, but
Glenn is going to take over that last piece.

Depends on D17995
