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.
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'
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.
