[chromium-dev] Trying to find webkit

[Emett Speer]

I have been looking for webkit for a couple hours now and can't see to find
the location yet. Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction
as the documentation is outdated and is pointing me to folders that no
longer exist.

[Christian Biesinger]

We are not using webkit anymore, instead we use a fork called blink. It's
in third_party/blink/renderer.


What docs were you using, so we can update them?

That document is indeed not fully up to date. I just did some small
changes to it to replace WebKit with Blink and removed other parts I know
not to be useful information anymore so the next person reading it will be
in a better position.

Keeping documentation up-to-date is hard even when it's a wiki.

That page is... oh wow. From the "Code paths for common operations" section:

It will create a new TabContents object from

browser/tab_contents/tab_contents.cc

I killed TabContents back in 2012. Is there anything salvageable from that
section?

Avi

Thank you for the documentation update Daniel.

I suspect not, since so much code has been completely rewritten.
Navigation is probably not even close to anything anymore (but I don't
know for sure).

Maybe there should be a "best before" on every documentation snippet.

I deleted some small section I knew to be wrong Friday. Misleading
documentation seems worse than no documentation. If you know that part to
be wrong, delete it or update it?
