goring 484d75f0ab gpui: Fix TestWindow panicking on window_handle (#62775)
> **AI disclosure:** I used Claude (Anthropic) to diagnose this, write
the fix and its test, and draft this PR description, after every
headless test in my own app started panicking during a gpui upgrade. I
reviewed the diff and the reasoning below, ran the tests myself, and
understand and take responsibility for the change, per Zed's [AI
Policy](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#ai-policy).

# Objective

- `TestWindow` panics instead of returning an error when asked for its
raw window handle. `HasWindowHandle` and `HasDisplayHandle` both return
`Result<_, HandleError>`, so a window with no C-typed handle can report
that — but `TestWindow` calls `unimplemented!()`. Callers who correctly
write `window_handle().ok()?` still crash, and any headless test whose
window reaches code that asks for the platform handle dies on boot.
- This has two halves, and only the second made it reachable:
- `d4781bc29` ("Add raw window handle implementations to GPUI", #7101,
2024-01-30) added both impls for `TestWindow` as `unimplemented!()`
placeholders while the real platforms got real ones. `TestWindow` was
`pub(crate)` then, so nothing outside gpui could hit it.
- `386174cca` ("gpui: Implement `HasWindowHandle` on `Window`", #24327,
2025-02-06) made `Window` implement both traits by forwarding to
`platform_window`. From then on, any consumer asking a `Window` for its
raw handle reaches `TestWindow` under `TestAppContext`.
- I hit this through
[gpui-component](https://github.com/longbridge/gpui-component), whose
macOS accessibility code calls
`HasWindowHandle::window_handle(window).ok()?` on every window it roots
— correct defensive code that still panics, taking every one of my
headless `#[gpui::test]` tests down at boot.


## Solution

- `TestWindow::window_handle` and `TestWindow::display_handle` now
return `Err(HandleError::NotSupported)` instead of calling
`unimplemented!()`. That variant's documentation describes exactly this
case — "the underlying handle cannot be represented using the types in
this crate".
- Real platform windows are untouched: this only changes what the test
platform reports, so `Ok(...)` on macOS, Linux and Windows is
unaffected. Callers that already handle the error path now get the error
they were written for.

## Testing

- Added `test_window_reports_no_raw_handle_instead_of_panicking` in
`crates/gpui/src/window.rs`, asserting both calls return
`Err(HandleError::NotSupported)`.
- Reverting the fix while keeping the test reproduces the original
panic, so the test pins the behaviour rather than passing vacuously.
- `cargo test -p gpui --lib` from a clean target directory — 220 passed,
0 failed:

```
- Tested on macOS. The change is confined to
`crates/gpui/src/platform/test/`, which is platform independent, but I
have not built the Linux or Windows platform crates.

## Showcase

Before — the new test against the current `unimplemented!()`:

```
thread 'window::tests::test_window_reports_no_raw_handle_instead_of_panicking' panicked at
crates/gpui/src/platform/test/window.rs:57:9:
not implemented: Test Windows are not backed by a real platform window

test result: FAILED. 0 passed; 1 failed
```

After — see the full run above.

License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.

We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:

  • Is it showing a no license specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
