Pessimisation: this breaks return value optimisation. When the Wily clang builds work again this will be an error.

Seems like you could replace OfType with OfPointerType and then use

EXPECT_THAT(platforms, UnorderedElementsAre(OfPointerType<mi::evdev::Platform>(), OfPointerType<mi::X::XInputPlatform>());

Which I think is both more natural and also is a slightly stronger test.

You can do all except the last, and the last would be a simple patch to
umockdev.

Yes modifiers are per device right now .. which isnt what we want within the dispatcher. Working on a proper abstraction/fix for that.

Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt) wrote on 2015-10-28:

OK, I've invested time in testing and lots needs fixing unfortunately. At least three are show-stoppers...

(1) Mouse now moves too fast. Even my slowest mouse.

(2) "evdev-input" log messages on startup report nothing useful. Can we remove or change them to report actual device descriptions?

(3) Input resampling has been lost (can only verify on desktop due to #5). It was introduced on 2014-08-29 but we only just fixed Unity8 this week to utilize it and achieve halved latency. It's taken 14 months to come to fruition this week, so please try to avoid regressing on it.
Test: env MIR_CLIENT_INPUT_RATE=59 mir_demo_client_fingerpaint
Verify only one square painted per frame.

(4) Input events are strangely erratic and no longer smooth (even when not resampled), compared to lp:mir. Compare 'mir_demo_client_fingerpaint' using this branch with lp:mir and you will see a lot of jitter when using this branch. Weirdly, MIR_CLIENT_INPUT_RATE=59 does affect the result but only in that it makes things even more erratic, and not limited to 59Hz either (#3).

(5) Servers crash on startup on mako (vivid rc-proposed):

(7) Multi-touch gestures no longer work (on mako). Try moving a window in mir_proving_server using three fingers and it mostly does nothing, or has a mind of its own. If you run 'mir_demo_client_target' you can see what the problem is with multiple touches: some go missing mid-gesture (flickering targets).

D: No resampling with android input
export MIR_CLIENT_INPUT_RATE=0
mir_demo_server --launch-client=./mir_demo_client_fingerpaint

using a cheap USB MS mouse on top of libinput-1.1.0 with my patches

A and B look nearly identical - mouse moves slightly faster than with android input but there are ugly gaps/jumps .. in both cases every 5 or 10 seconds in the trace drawn by fingerpaint.

C and D look nearly identical - mouse moves slightly faster than with android input but there in both cases the trace displayed is smooth and sticks close to the cursor. Additionally there is no odd jump in both the data sets. As opposed to the resampled cases the plotted squares have a similar distance and give a good indication of mouse movement.

I repeated A and B a few times and I was able to reproduce the odd jumps for A and B sometimes. It seems that the resampling is very sensitive to scheduling. My conclusion from that:
we should make sure that we only use resampling when we have a horrible input device (driver) or when the client is unable to process the user input fast enough. Additionally we should spend the next 14 month with verifying that the algorithm yields proper results.

AFAIK, resampling uses the original event timestamps which in android-input are accurate because they come directly from the kernel. So if those timestamps are being faked in libinput then that might explain the irregularity and sensitivity to scheduling. Better check that libinput (and Mir itself) is not inserting new timestamps. Our input reports also rely on those timestamps being the original event time from the kernel.

It's also worth noting my mouse setting is 1000Hz (kernel param usbhid.mousepoll=1). You might need that to notice some issues.

Well whatever you observe I cannot observe that. I see negative effects of resampling with and without libinput involved.

Yeah rather poor naming. MIR_BUILD_PLATFORM indicates that we build for platform X11 .. to be honest the way autoconf names target, host and build still confuses me regularly.

Good that you mention this. This is one of the things I wanted to have another look.

This needs to implement the other overload.

Also, in the following scenario:

$ sudo bin/mir_demo_server --window-manager system-compositor --display-config sidebyside --vt 1 --arw-file
$ bin/mir_demo_server --host /tmp/mir_socket --display-config clone --window-manager tiling
$ bin/mir_demo_client_egltriangle

I find that Alt+middle-button+drag seems intermittently to not work (neither resizing nor moving the cursor).

A bit more detail on the problems I see:

I'm using a lenovo with a trackpoint.

The trackpoint controls the cursor unless the middle "mouse" button is pressed. E.g. Alt+left button drags the triangle, With Alt on its own or with Alt+right it just move the cursor.

Just pressing the middle button (with or without Alt) and the cursor no longer responds to the trackpoint.

It might be diagnostic that the left and right buttons do work, but the middle button doesn't - is something misidentifying it as a two button mouse?

Plugging in a spare 3-button mouse does work.

Why is this needed? If the test is being built for Android only why should mesa related stuff be linked in?

Not quite. I diagnosed that with your evemu record and libinput-debug-events - which is a tool provided by libinput but is not part of the ubuntu libinput package so far.

So by default - it configures your device to use the middle button as scroll-button - so trackpoint motion is converted to scroll axis events while middle button is pressed. You should be able to deactivate that behaviour with the lp:~andreas-pokorny/mir/example-configure-input-devices MP - since it overwrite those settings.

I tried adding that, but (after a few merge conflicts - I'm a little way off trunk because of the landings backlog) the server exited because if couldn't find an input platform.

I'll try again later. Meanwhile I won't block on a problem that's being worked on elsewhere.

Back then I got linker errors whithout that depending on the ordering of the MIR_PLATFORM variable. This is no longer the case..

In general we should find a way to avoid the machinery of MIR_TEST_PLATFORM as far as possible.
