Both next and epiphany are very broken for me after the upgrade to
webkitgtk to 2.26.1.

I first noticed when running core-updates, but then also tested on
master (de3896fb79984d545e7fec0b5e4f1ba37983fbce) with the same result.

I don't have a capture of the "next" browser output handy, but it wasn't
working either.

I also tried building without grafts, just in case, but no difference.


Reverting the following commit causes both browsers to work again.

    gnu: WebKitGTK: Update to 2.26.1.

    * gnu/packages/webkit.scm (webkitgtk-2.24): Rename to ...
    (webkitgtk-2.26): ... this.  Update to 2.26.1.
    [inputs]: Add BUBBLEWRAP, LIBSECCOMP, LIBWPE, WPEBACKEND-FDO, and
    XDG-DBUS-PROXY.
    * gnu/packages/gnome.scm (eolie, epiphany)[inputs]: Adjust for
    changed
    variable name.
    * gnu/packages/web-browsers.scm (next-gtk-webkit)[inputs]: Likewise.


Maybe libwpe and/or wpebackend-fdo aren't added in (all) the correct
place(s)?

Ok, a little further ...

  guix environment --ad-hoc epiphany

Still fails in the same way... but!

  guix environment --pure --ad-hoc epiphany

Works fine!

So something in the... environment variables is causing problems? XDG*?

More debugging another day...

It works for me on ‘core-updates’
ece22ac8ccb6744eaec0320f0c7c9b6680fffa46, but note that my system and
user profile were already on ‘core-updates’, so presumably that avoids
problems with XDG_*.

This works fine for me too:

  guix environment -E DISPLAY -E XAUTHORITY --ad-hoc epiphany --pure -- epiphany

So… problem solved?

It breaks running under wayland, and unsetting WAYLAND_DISPLAY it works
fine:

  WAYLAND_DISPLAY= epiphany

Or switching to an x11 session rather than wayland also worked fine.

Does it work for other people under wayland, or just x11?

More specifically, I'm running a "sway (wayland)" session from sddm as
the login manager.

I believe this is fixed by 1714edc3d4e8d6da1b0cdef300ae882d0885f182.
Can you confirm?

Thanks!

I also had a broken next. I am on Sway and the suggestion of unsetting
WAYLAND_DISPLAY when launching made it work! I couldn't get it to
launch any other way, including guix environment commands. Is there a
proper fix for this?

After that commit it's been working again, thanks!

The fix only exists on the 'core-updates' branch, which is hopefully
merged today.  \o/
