Change KeyPathType to an enum class

mozilla-unified

This PR replaces an enum with an equivalent enum class, as part of an effort to modernize C++ usage in the codebase. Some reasons for why enum classes are preferable to plain enums can be found in Bjarne Stroustrup’s C++11 FAQ (https://stroustrup[DOT]com/C++11FAQ.html#enum).

Change nsDocShell's notification of keyword-search pass a string rather than an engine

mozilla-unified

For this PR a change needs to be made to the way the engine communicates the search engine’s name to the front-end. With this change the nsDocShell no longer depends on the search service and thereby creates the possibility to change the search service to not be a XPCOM service.

This PR is currently a work in progress.

Incorrect constraint validation for select element with selected disabled option

mozilla-unified

Before this PR a <select> element was considered invalid when its selected option had the disabled status. However the intended behaviour is that if the selected option has a value the select should be valid regardless of its status. This PR fixed that, fixed a test that assumed wrong behaviour and added a test case.

Replace addTestEngines and installTestEngine in search tests with SearchTestUtils.promiseNewSearchEngine

mozilla-unified

For this PR we had to update many tests to use a newer function SearchTestUtils.promiseNewSearchEngine, that returns a different object. It required us to rewrite some assertions to work with the new return type and we had to figure out where to get an extra input parameter from.
