morning. The rewrite of "function testcase()..." now puts the
assertTrue at the bottom. Preconditions, names, and ids are
removed. And the path in the file is ignored, and is instead set
accurately according to where the file is found.
- a lot of JS harness code written in strings have been moved out to actual physical files
such as ed.js (syntax error detection for globally scoped tests) and gs.js (global scope test
case validator). This change makes it far easier to maintain the test harness code
- reorganized helper.js providing a clear indication which methods are used by external objects,
which are implementation details, and which are unequivocally test262-specific. I've also added,
openErrorWindow, which will be used to open a descriptive error message window for each test case
failure reported on the 'Run' tab
- improved the error message for syntax errors occurring when a test case fails to load
- sta.js no longer tries to pickle all helper functions it contains! Instead, we load the file
directly from sth.js. The performance of fnGlobalObject has been improved. Finally, the ES5Harness
object has been moved from sth.js (in a string) to here
- sth.js now has a browser implementer hook, controller.implementerHook, which allows browser implementers
to handle test case failures in their own way (e.g., log to the filesystem). The 'run' function was
basically re-written
Added 37 new test cases from the "IE Test Center" Build release. There were 14 modifications to
existing test cases as well. Refactored SputnikGlobalScope.js such that test case paths are now used
as indices into the GlobalScopeTests array.
TestCasePackager.py had the concept of templated test harnesses introduced - see templates\runner.test262.html.
Also added support for one HTML test harness per ES5 chapter. Last but not least, TestCasePackagerConfig.py
now has a 'source control' abstraction class which abstracts away source control adds|edits when dynamically
generating *.json and *.html test chapters.
if (!strict_mode) { throw new SyntaxError('unspecified case'); }
This doesn't work for a few reasons:
1. 'strict_mode' is undefined in the test case exeuction context. That is, the test framework
does not force the test case into strict mode
2. The test case code looks like:
"use strict";
if (!strict_mode) ...
...
Note that 'strict_mode' is not set before being accessed
Really the metadata for these test cases should have a "@strict" property added to instruct the test
framework *not* to run the test if an implementation doesn't support strict mode.
