1849229 - Wheel scroll action fails for "deltaX" and "deltaY" properties on HiRes displays

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Remote Protocol :: Agent, defect, P1)

Description

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+1]]

As noticed today our WebDriver implementation for dispatch a scroll action fails when the test is executed from a machine that uses a HiRes display like a MacBook Pro. Here the device pixel ratio is set to 2 and as such 1 CSS pixel correlates to 2 device pixels.

This can easily be reproduced by Marionette once the patch on bug 1849227 will be available. For now here the log output of the test failure that I can see:

1692277067552	Marionette	DEBUG	3 -> [0,5,"WebDriver:PerformActions",{"actions":[{"type":"wheel","id":"id","actions":[{"type":"scroll","x":0,"y":0,"deltaX":5,"deltaY":10,"duration":0,"origin":{"element-6066-11e4-a52e-4f735466cecf":"792a2ba9-896b-4a33-86ac-8b6eb678c6a9"}}]}]}]

1692277067573	Marionette	DEBUG	3 <- [1,6,null,{"value":[{"type":"wheel","button":0,"buttons":0,"deltaX":2.5,"deltaY":5,"deltaZ":0,"deltaMode":0,"target":"outer"}]}]

The caught scroll event has only a delta of 2.5/5 instead of 5/10.

A test like that works fine with wpt because the harness sets layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 1.

Emilio, as it looks like we will have to convert the CSS pixels that WebDriver expects to device pixels. I assume the best option here is to use the window.devicePixelRatio value? Or should we use something else? Thanks!
