Early errors may result from parsing the source text of a test file, but
they may also result from parsing some other source text as referenced
through the ES2015 module syntax. The latter form of early error is not
necessarily detectable by ECMAScript parsers, however. Because of this,
the label "early" is not sufficiently precise for all Test262 consumers
to correctly interpret all tests.
Update the "phase" name of "early" to "parse" for all those negative
tests that describe errors resulting from parsing of the file's source
text directly. A forthcoming commit will update the remaining tests to
use a "phase" name that is more specific to module resolution.
Because expectations regarding error "phase" are now expressed via test
meta-data, the test runner may now enforce this requirement on negative
tests.
Remove the "NotEarlyError" from the project source. This reduces the
amount of domain knowledge required to author tests and lessens the
potential for inconsistencies between tests.
Authored via the following command:
$ find test -type f -print0 | \
xargs -0 sed \
-i 's/^\(\s*\)negative:\s*SyntaxError\s*$/\1negative:\n\1 phase: early\n\1 type: SyntaxError/g'
The prior version of this test asserted only the property's
configurability. It was also limited to the RegExp object as returned
from the RegExp constructor.
Extend the test to verify all values of the property descriptor.
Duplicate these assertions in a separate file dedicated to the RegExp
object as created from a RegExp literal.
The specification contains an explicit informative NOTE explaining that
the 'm' flag does not effect the behavior of the '^' assertion. Add a
test to verify this.
ES2015 reads:
> RegExpUnicodeEscapeSequence :: u{ HexDigits }
>
> - It is a Syntax Error if the MV of HexDigits > 1114111.
Use the MV 0x110000 to assert the lower boundary of values which are
expected to produce the SyntaxError.
This change set does not include a test for restrictions relating to
template literals because such a test already exists in the project.
While a form of this test for string literals in strict mode code
existed previously, it is less precise and relies on unrelated
semantics. Remove the previous form and replace with a more direct
version.
The `negative` frontmatter tag expresses an expectation for the behavior
of the test file as a whole. The `assert.throws` helper function offers
more fine-grained control over expectations because it may be applied to
specific statements and expressions. This makes it preferable in cases
where it may be used (i.e. when the test body does not describe a syntax
error or early error).
Re-implement assertions for errors to use the `assert.throws` helper
function wherever possible.
Some tests specifically concern the application of the `use strict`
directive as it appears in JavaScript source code. These tests should
*not* be run with the `onlyStrict` flag because relying on the test
runner to enable strict mode makes the semantics of the source code
irrelevant. Update these tests to use the `noStrict` flag.
Other tests concern language semantics that are only valid in strict
mode, but the mechanism for enabling strictness is inconseqential.
Update these tests to use the `onlyStrict` flag and remove any redundant
`use strict` directive prologues contained within.
Still other tests are valid both within and outside of strict mode.
In keeping with the majority of other tests, do not specify any
restrictions on the environments in which these tests may be run.
