Unlike the console runner, the browser runner does not modify the
strictness of tests prior to running them. Regardless of a given test's
metadata, it runs every test exactly once, and it never enables strict
mode. This means that tests intended to function in strict mode must
declare the "use strict"; directive prologue in addition to the
`onlyStrict` flag.
For any test that specifies the `onlyStrict` metadata flag, transform
the source code by injecting a "use strict" directive prologue prior to
running the test.
Since the Python runner was updated to include `assert.js` in all tests
unconditionally, a number of tests have been written that implicitly
rely on its presence. The browser runner does not currently provide this
file's contents to these tests, so they fail unconditionally.
Update the browser runner to inject that file's contents into every test
context.
Note: the existing approach to file retrieval (namely loading via
synchronous XHR requests) is inefficient and deprecated in some
browsers. It is honored here for the sake of consistency and to minimize
the changeset necessary to fix the browser runner.
The `$PRINT` helper function has no effect on test behavior. The
following tests use it to report assertion outcomes (and as a result
will fail silently):
- test/language/function-code/S10.2.1_A4_T2.js
- test/language/function-code/S10.2.1_A5.1_T1.js
- test/language/function-code/S10.2.1_A5.1_T2.js
- test/language/function-code/S10.2.1_A5.2_T1.js
Remove the function definition and all references within tests. Update
tests that use it as an error reporting mechanism to instead use an
appropriate `assert` helper function.
In neglecting to assert the type of error thrown (or that any error was
thrown at all), these tests cannot fail. Refactor the tests to use the
`assert.throws` helper method, which takes these details into
consideration.
