After @rwaldron's feedback:
The purpose of the `!` operator is to evaluate an UnaryExpression,
coerce the result to a boolean value and then return the negated
value of that operation. But that's not what you're trying to do at
all—you just want to evaluate the expression to the right of the
operator, nothing more, nothing less. In this specific case, you
don't even really care about the evaluation, the goal is write
valid (or invalid, as the case may be) syntax that is will be
parsed according to a specific grammar rule that requires some
operator to signal that the thing is an expression and not a Block
Statement.
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'
This test is being added because the committee is considering changing
this evaluation order (as discussed at the May 2016 Munich meeting). The
consequences of this spec change will be more clear as a test change
than a simple test addition.
* Add tests for early errors in functions
* Improve tests for class accessors
Use the `propertyHelper.js` utility in order to functionally test the
property descriptors of class methods.
* Remove redundant tests
The semantics of an IdentifierReference as a PropertyDefinition within
an object initializer are exhaustively tested by the files in this
directory whose name match the pattern `prop-def-id-*.js`.
Delete the redundant tests in favor of the more descriptively-named and
more exhaustive alternatives.
* Rename tests
* Update test names to be more descriptive
* Add tests for property descriptors of accessors
* Add tests for runtime error during method dfn
* Add test for observable iteration
* Extend tests for class "name" inference
Ensure that when a class defines a static "name" method, that method
definition prevents the "name" inference behavior.
* Re-generate tests
* Add missing test for early error
* Add missing test for WithBaseObject
* Improve coverage for `new.target`
* Add test for deletion of SuperReference
* Add tests for `in` keyword restrictions
* fixup! Improve coverage for `new.target`
Test262 defines tests for expression-producing syntactic forms within
the `language/expressions/` directory. Most tests for object literals
conform to this structure, but 12 such tests were added to the
`language/object-literal/` directory. Move these tests to the canonical
location for object literals.
This change set includes tests for most invocations of the
SetFunctionName abstract operation in the ES2015 specification.
Practical testing considerations preclude the introduction of tests for
certain invocations:
- The project is still vetting methods to sustainably test the semantics
of the Destructuring Binding pattern across all valid productions.
- 13.3.3.6 Runtime Semantics: IteratorBindingInitialization
- 13.3.3.7 Runtime Semantics: KeyedBindingInitialization
- Without a loader, there is no way to access a function object declared
in an ExportDeclaration, so `name` assignment cannot be tested in
these cases
- 14.1.19 Runtime Semantics: InstantiateFunctionObject
- 14.4.12 Runtime Semantics: InstantiateFunctionObject
- 14.5.15 Runtime Semantics: BindingClassDeclarationEvaluation
- 15.2.3.11 Runtime Semantics: Evaluation
- Re-organize existing tests for identifiers
Name files according to their content (not their ES5 ID). Move tests
for IdentifierName and LabelIdentifier to more appropriate directories.
- Simplify and correct tests
Instead of asserting successful runtime evaluation using `eval`, rely
on the test runner's ability to detect syntax errors. Update the test
bodies to test the grammar referenced by their ES5 ID and
description--the IdentifierStart pattern.
- Use `negative` frontmatter to assert SyntaxErrors
- Remove redundant tests
- Use `assert.equal` helper function
- Add equivalent tests for literal unicode chars
- Add tests for variable-length unicode escape
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.
From the ES6 specification:
> ## PropertyDefinition : IdentifierReference
>
> 1. Let propName be StringValue of IdentifierReference.
> 2. Let exprValue be the result of evaluating IdentifierReference.
> 3. ReturnIfAbrupt(exprValue).
> 4. Let propValue be GetValue(exprValue).
> 5. ReturnIfAbrupt(propValue).
> 6. Assert: enumerable is true.
> 7. Return CreateDataPropertyOrThrow(object, propName, propValue).

This change adds 'var' declarations for global variables to allow the tests to run in strict mode (see issue #35).
Extra care was taken to ensure the changes do not alter the test behavior, for example when implicit creation of global variables are part of the test.
Note: The change does not fix all strict mode errors due to missing 'var' declarations.
