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.
The `throw` statements that were recently inserted into these tests have
an observable impact on the parsing behavior: they causes the `"use
strict"` token sequence to be interpreted as a string literal instead of
a directive prolog, which in turn effects how the tests are interpreted.
Remove the new `throw` statements from these tests and rely on
previously-existing statements that serve the same purpose without
impacting program strictness.
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 involving the directive prologue are invalidated by source
text transformations that insert executable code in the beginning of the
script. Implement a `raw` flag that allows these tests to opt-out of
this transformation. Update the relevant tests to use this flag (and
remove references to globals only available when code is injected).
Update the Python runner accordingly:
- Do not run tests marked as "raw" in strict mode
- Reject invalid test configurations
Update the browser runner accordingly:
- Do not modify the script body of tests marked as "raw"
