Except for a small set of expected input/output pairs, both ES5 and
ES2015 define the expected return value of these methods in terms of an
"implementation-dependent approximation." This makes it inappropriate to
enforce expectations for specific values, even if expressed imprecisely.
The files in this patch are organized according to the following naming
scheme:
Prefix | Grammar production
-------------------|-------------------
`array-empty-` | ArrayAssignmentPattern : [ ]
`array-elision-` | ArrayAssignmentPattern : [ Elision ]
`array-rest-` | ArrayAssignmentPattern : [ Elisionopt AssignmentRestElement ]
`array-elem-` | ArrayAssignmentPattern : [ AssignmentElementList ]
`array-elem-trlg-` | ArrayAssignmentPattern : [ AssignmentElementList , Elisionopt AssignmentRestElementopt ]
Suffix | Intent
-------------------|-------
`-abpt-close-err` | The assignment evaluation returns an abrupt completion, and the iterator's `return` method throws an error
`-abpt-close-skip` | The assignment evaluation returns an abrupt completion, but IteratorClose is not invoked
`-abpt-close` | The assignment evaluation returns an abrupt completion, and IteratorClose is invoked as specified
`-get-err` | Abrupt completion returned from GetIterator
`-nrml-close-err` | The assignment evaluation completes, and the iterator's `return` method throws an error
`-nrml-close-null` | The assignment evaluation completes, and the iterator's `return` method returns a non-Object value (there is no corresponding `-abpt-` suffix because the algorithm does not reference the return value in those cases)
`-nrml-close-skip` | The assignment evaluation completes, but IteratorClose is not invoked
`-nrml-close` | The assignment evaluation completes, and IteratorClose is invoked as specified
Not all suffixes are appropriate for all productions. Suffixes have been
simplified in cases where less specificity is necessary to disambiguate
test cases.
Some tests for `eval` assert the equality of key enumeration on the
global object, comparing the ordering when the object is referenced
through eval.
Based on the test bodies and the "info" field in their metadata, these
tests appear to have been written under the mistaken impression that
erroneous creation of an environment record would be observable through
the `this` value.
In reality, the value in such cases resolves to the global object. That
renders these tests redundant and overly complex--none of the
distinctions between each test actually demonstrates a different
behavior.
Remove the redundant tests and introduce three new tests asserting the
correct resolution of the `this` keyword for direct eval code from
within the global scope and from within function scope.
Files whose name ends in `_.js` are not themselves valid Test262 tests
and should not be interpreted as such by test runners.
---
The tests for the GetBindingValue method of the module Environment
Record are very minimal. This is because GetBindingValue is necessary to
assert any aspect of binding creation/initialization/mutation. In this
way, GetBindingValue is being implicitly tested by every test that
references a binding value.
Files whose name ends in `_.js` are not themselves valid Test262 tests
and should not be interpreted as such by test runners.
---
Because the tests in this patch concern declaration *instantiation*,
care has been taken to avoid asserting binding values following
evaluation. Because a given module's dependencies are evaluated prior to
the module itself, this is only observable in modules which import their
own bindings.
A separate patch dedicated to the evaluation of module code asserts the
behavior of bindings following evaluation.
---
For tests that concern the creation of a module namespace object, this
patch relies on the semantics of the `in` operator. The `in` operator
uses the [[HasProperty]] internal method and avoids testing unrelated
semantics concerning binding resolution. Those semantics should be
explicitly asserted with a separate set of tests dedicated to that
purpose.
---
One test case which is notably missing is error resulting from a cycle
due to an `import` declaration (under the current file naming scheme,
such a test might be named `instn-named-err-circular.js`). Due to the
recursive nature of ModuleDeclarationInstantiation, it is not
technically possible for a circular request to be found in step 12.c.i.
Cycles rely on at least 2 `export` declarations, and because these are
resolved *before* imports, any cycle would trigger failure prior to step
12.c.
---
One aspect of *module* resolution that makes ordering observable is the
fact that resolution can fail in two distinct ways (i.e. with a
SyntaxError or with a ReferenceError). This patch includes tests that
leverage this detail in order to assert that modules are resolved in the
correct sequence.
However, from the perspective of the ECMA-262 specification, the
ordering of *export* (e.g. binding) resolution is not observable. This
is due to restrictions on the grammar, where each export is independent.
When *export* resolution fails, it does so with instances of SyntaxError
alone, precluding the above strategy.
So while ModuleDeclarationInstantiation resolves the exports of the
module's dependencies in the following order:
1. "Indirect" exports, e.g.
- `export { x } from './y.js';`
- `export { x as z } from './y.js';`
- `import { x } from './y.js'; export { x };`
2. "Star" imports
- `import * as ns from './y.js';`
3. "Named" (my word) imports
- `import x from './y.js';`
- `import { x } from './y.js';`
- `import { x as z } from './y.js';`
Intentional failures cannot be used to discern resolution ordering.
The runtime semantics of this statement are host-defined and therefore
untestable, but the statement's affect on the formal grammar should be
consistent across all implementations.
V8 ran into an issue where the YAML parser our test setup is using
didn't understand the newline, and failed to parser the negative
test expectation below, causing the test to fail. This patch fixes
the issue.
Assert that ImportDeclaration and ExportDeclaration match only the
ModuleItem symbol.
According to the definition of HostResolveImportedModule, it is
acceptable for an implementation to throw a SyntaxError in the event
that a requested module can neither be found nor created:
> If a Module Record corresponding to the pair referencingModule,
> specifier does not exist or cannot be created, an exception must be
> thrown.
In order to reliably detect a SyntaxError in response to the correct
interpretation of the grammar (and not a SyntaxError from an *incorrect*
interpretation of the grammar followed by a failure to resolve the
requested module), the ModuleSpecifier of ExportDeclarations should
describe a valid resource.
- Prefix file names to explicitly describe the "head" position
- Remove statement name suffix as this information is reflected by each
file's location within the file hierarchy
The harness file `Test262Error.js` has not contained executable code since it
was introduced in this project [1]. The definition of the `Test262Error`
function has consistently been located in the `sta.js` harness file which test
runners are expected to inject into the test environment.
Remove the file and all references to it.

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.
ECMAScript 2015 introduced tail call optimization for function calls
occuring in a number of positions in the grammar. Assert expected
behavior by triggering a large (but configurable) number of recursive
function calls in these positions. Compliant runtimes will execute such
programs without error; non-compliant runtimes are expected to fail
these tests by throwing an error or crashing when system resources are
exhausted.
The ES2016 draft further refines the completion values for `if` and
`with` statements. Two tests must be removed outright because the
completion value in those cases is no longer accessible from the
runtime.
In order to facilitate proper tail calls, ES2015 modified the completion
value of a number of statements.
These tests use `eval` to verify the new values.
Although the `for..in` statement allows Expressions to define the
iterator, only an AssignmentExpression may occupy this position in the
`for..of` statement.
