Update the lint.py script to work with pip 10+ as pip.req was moved to
pip._internal.req in version 10 onwards and the existing code only works
on versions of pip under or equal to 9.0.3
The document fragments used by the ECMAScript specification do not
conform to any particular pattern beyond the grammar defined by the URL
standard [1]. Relax the linting rule to enforce a simplified version of
that grammar.

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.
Previously, test consumers were encouraged to insert a `throw` statement
as the first statement of tests for early errors. This recommendation
made tests harder to consume, and as an optional transformation,
consumers may have ignored it or simply been unaware it was made. By
explicitly including such a `throw` statement, the tests become more
literal, making them easier to consume and more transparent in their
expectations.
Document expectation for all tests for early errors to include an
explicit `throw` statement. Extend linting script to verify that
contributors are automatically notified of violations and to ensure that
future contributions satisfy this expectation.
A recent commit introduced a document that enumerated acceptable values
for the test "features" metadata tag. However, this list was incomplete,
and maintaining it placed extra burden on the project owners.
Restructure the document into a machine-readable format. Add entries for
all previously-omitted values. Add in-line documentation with
recommendations for maintenance of the file. Extend the project's
linting tool to validate tests according to the document's contents.
This script is intended to identify common test file formatting errors
prior to their acceptance into the project. It is designed to support
future extensions for additional validation rules.
In order to promote readability of the generated test material, the test
generation tool may insert whitespace if the context a given expanded
variable calls for it. Avoid inserting such whitespace within literal
values that span multiple lines.
Since the argument is required, we mark it as so. Using this approach
gives the user a much nicer error message, as compared to just the "not
enough args" message.
When inspecting previously-generated files, a new `Test` instance should
be used. This avoids over-writing the in-memory representation of the
latest test, and allows previously-existing test files to be partially
updated according to subsequent changes in their respective source/case
files.
In expecting "case directories" to contain a sub-directory named
"default", the test generation tool is unable to generate tests for
features where a directory named "default" is not appropriate.
Modify the heuristic that identifies "case directories" to use a more
fundamental aspect (i.e. the existence of at least one "case" file).
