This also required changing the initial `charCodeToGlyphId`-data to an Object, which seems generally correct since it's consistent with existing code in the `src\core\{cff_font, type1_font}.js` files.
*Please note:* This doesn't really affect the viewer, but may affect the library API if multiple PDF documents are opened in parallel.
Since we clean-up "global" textLayer-data when destroying a PDF document, this means that other active PDFs could potentially break by invoking `cleanupTextLayer` unconditionally. Note that textLayer rendering is an asynchronous task, and we thus need to ensure those are all finished before running clean-up.
The `needle` dependency originally got introduced in #12024, almost four
years ago, to be able to use pre-built binaries for the `canvas`
dependency on macOS. However, nowadays the `needle` dependency isn't
used by `canvas` anymore, or any other package we use for that matter,
as shown by the empty NPM dependency tree:
```
$ npm ls needle
pdf.js
└── needle@3.3.1
```
Investigation showed that the `canvas` package depends on the
`node-pre-gyp` package which in turn depended on `needle` (see
https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas/issues/1110#issuecomment-411232630),
but in version 1.0.0 of `node-pre-gyp` from three years ago the `needle`
dependency got dropped in favor of `node-fetch` (see
a74f5e367c/CHANGELOG.md (L52)).
This explains why the NPM dependency tree is empty now and proves that
we can safely get rid of this dependency now.
In Node.js 14.14.0 the `fs.rmSync` function was added that removes files
and directories. The `recursive` option is used to remove directories
and their contents, making it a drop-in replacement for the `rimraf`
dependency we use.
Given that PDF.js now requires Node.js 18+ we can be sure that this
option is available, so we can safely remove `rimraf` and reduce the
number of project dependencies.

I broke this accidentally in PR 18089, sorry about that!
Note that since `#processItems` is private we can no longer just "replace" the method as was done in PR 18052.
The issue from #18003 hasn't been shown to be caused by PDF.js, but it
did surface that we don't have (direct) unit test coverage for the
`BaseException` class. This made it more difficult to prove that the
`stack` property was already available on exception instances, but more
importantly it caused the CI to be green even though the suggested
change would have caused the `stack` property to disappear.
To avoid future regressions, for e.g. similar changes or a rewrite from
a closure to a proper class, this commit introduces a dedicated unit
test for `BaseException` that asserts that our exception instances
indeed expose all expected properties.
The Puppeteer update should in particular be helpful for us because it
contains improved WebDriver BiDi compatibility, a newer Chrome version
(both might help for #17962) and an official deprecation of CDP for
Firefox. Note that the latter doesn't require changes on our end because
we already use WebDriver BiDi unconditionally for Firefox since commit
4db0174. The full release notes can be found at
https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/releases/tag/puppeteer-core-v22.8.0.
When seleciting on a touch screen device, whenever the finger moves to a
blank area (so over `div.textLayer` directly rather than on a `<span>`),
the selection jumps to include all the text between the beginning of the
.textLayer and the selection side that is not being moved.
The existing selection flickering fix when using the mouse cannot be
trivially re-used on mobile, because when modifying a selection on
a touchscreen device Firefox will not emit any pointer event (and
Chrome will emit them inconsistently). Instead, we have to listen to the
'selectionchange' event.
The fix is different in Firefox and Chrome:
- on Firefox, we have to make sure that, when modifying the selection,
hovering on blank areas will hover on the .endOfContent element
rather than on the .textLayer element. This is done by adjusting the
z-indexes so that .endOfContent is above .textLayer.
- on Chrome, hovering on blank areas needs to trigger hovering on an
element that is either immediately after (or immediately before,
depending on which side of the selection the user is moving) the
currently selected text. This is done by moving the .endOfContent
element around between the correct `<span>`s in the text layer.
The new anti-flickering code is also used when selecting using a mouse:
the improvement in Firefox is only observable on multi-page selection,
while in Chrome it also affects selection within a single page.
After this commit, the `z-index`es inside .textLayer are as follows:
- .endOfContent has `z-index: 0`
- everything else has `z-index: 1`
- except for .markedContent, which have `z-index: 0`
and their contents have `z-index: 1`.
`.textLayer` has an explicit `z-index: 0` to introduce a new stacking context,
so that its contents are not drawn on top of `.annotationLayer`.
- Change all possible semi-private methods into properly private ones. Note that this code is old enough to predate standard classes.
- Move the `appendText` helper function into `TextLayerRenderTask`, as a private method, to avoid having to manually pass in the scope.
- Simplify `#layoutText` by directly passing in all necessary data. This is possible after the changes PR 18052.
For images that failed to decode once we want to avoid a pointless round-trip to the main-thread, which could otherwise happen for globally cached images.
- These changes will allow a simpler way of implementing PR 17770.
- The /Lang attribute is fetched lazily, with the first `getTextContent` invocation. Given the existing worker-thread caching, this will thus only need to be done *once* per PDF document (and most PDFs don't included this data).
- This makes the /Lang attribute *directly available* in the `textLayer`, which has the following advantages:
- We don't need to block, and thus delay, overall viewer initialization on fetching it (nor pass it around throughout the viewer).
- Third-party users of the `textLayer` will automatically benefit from this, once we start actually using the /Lang attribute in PR 17770.
*Please note:* This also, importantly, means that the `text` reference-tests will then cover this code (which wouldn't otherwise have been the case).
If a user manually calls `PDFPageView.prototype.update()` with a `drawingDelay`-option then it'll always be necessary to re-call the method *without* a delay afterwards, regardless of the `maxCanvasPixels`-value (e.g. even when CSS-only zooming is used).
This only happens when it's safe to do so. The exceptions are:
- when the class extends another subclass: removing the constructor would remove the error about the missing super() call
- when there are default parameters, that could have side effects
- when there are destructured prameters, that could have side effects
- The `stopAtErrors` API option, which is the inverse of the "internal" `ignoreErrors` option, is explicitly documented as applying to *parsing* (i.e. the worker-thread) while the `FontFaceObject` class is used during rendering (i.e. the main-thread); see b6765403a1/src/display/api.js (L164-L167)
- A glyph that fails in the `FontRendererFactory`, on the worker-thread, will already cause (overall) parsing to stop when `ignoreErrors === false` hence checking the option on the main-thread as well seems redundant; see b6765403a1/src/core/evaluator.js (L4527-L4533)
- Removing this option simplifies the code, and slightly reduces the number of options that we need to handle in the main-thread code.
This avoids having to add a couple of event listeners in the viewer, when debugging is enabled, and is consistent with the existing handling of `FontInspector` and `StepperManager` in the API.
