Description Marcos Caceres 2022-03-06 23:09:29 PST

It would be nice if WebKit's web driver implementation implemented "set permission" as specified in: 
https://www.w3.org/TR/permissions/#automation

This would (safely) facilitate testing a number of so called "powerful features" of the web platform that require permission to be granted before they can be used. ]

As Chrome implements "set permission", there are already quite a few tests on WPT relying on it (creating false failures in WebKit for conformance purposes - for example, with the Geolocation API).

Just noting that this is exposed as test_driver.set_permission() on TestDriver.
