[webkit-dev] Importing W3C tests

2016-09-07 Thread youenn fablet
Hi,

I improved a bit W3C test importer lately.

First, I'd like to remind people importing tests (great) without the
importer (copy/paste a directory e.g.) to update
LayoutTests/imported/w3c/resources/ImportExpectations.
That allows me to refresh those tests when doing a full resync more quickly.
Otherwise, I need to know why some tests were needlessly removed when doing
a full resync,
Note that, as part of the full resync, I am removing tests that are removed
in WPT repository.

I also made two improvements to W3C test importer.

Resource files in WPT repository are not always in 'resources' folder.
Test importer is generating a list of resource files in
LayoutTests/imported/w3c/resources/resource-files.json
All listed files there will be skipped.
If you import tests without the importer, it might be better to update that
file than adding Skip TestExpectations.

Slow tests in WPT repository are identified with a meta element.
Test importer is generating a list of slow tests in
LayoutTests/tests-options.json
If you import tests without the importer, it might be better to update that
file than adding Slow TestExpectations.

If you encounter any issue there, please let me know.

Thanks

[webkit-dev] Importing W3C tests for editing

2014-02-05 Thread Lukasz Bialek
Hi all,

 

Some time ago there was a conversation about importing W3C tests into
LayoutTests for WebKit
(https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2013-November/025876.html).
This conversation was paused in November with conclusion, that it may be a
good idea.

 

A brief research showed, that number of editing tests available in
https://github.com/w3c/web-platform-tests is very small. However, there are
a lot of editing tests placed directly in W3C HTML Editing APIs
specification
(https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/editing/raw-file/tip/editing.html#conformance-tests)
. It may be a good idea to import those tests instead.

 

There are 90412 tests covering all aspects of W3C specification. Those tests
can be divided into test cases containing several tests with structure
similar to this:

 

PASS [[stylewithcss,true]] foo[bar]baz: execCommand(stylewithcss,
false, true) return value 

PASS [[stylewithcss,true]] foo[bar]baz checks for modifications to
non-editable content 

PASS [[stylewithcss,true]] foo[bar]baz compare innerHTML 

PASS [[stylewithcss,true]] foo[bar]baz
queryCommandIndeterm(stylewithcss) before 

PASS [[stylewithcss,true]] foo[bar]baz
queryCommandState(stylewithcss) before 

FAIL [[stylewithcss,true]] foo[bar]baz
queryCommandValue(stylewithcss) before assert_equals: Wrong result
returned expected  but got false

PASS [[stylewithcss,true]] foo[bar]baz
queryCommandIndeterm(stylewithcss) after 

PASS [[stylewithcss,true]] foo[bar]baz
queryCommandState(stylewithcss) after 

FAIL [[stylewithcss,true]] foo[bar]baz
queryCommandValue(stylewithcss) after assert_equals: Wrong result returned
expected  but got true

 

As a result, we would have 5536 new test files divided into 36 categories:

- backcolor: 70

- bold: 210

- createlink: 48

- defaultparagraphseparator: 11

- delete: 494

- fontname: 141

- fontsize: 156

- forecolor: 147

- formatblock: 362

- forwarddelete: 471

- hilitecolor: 82

- indent: 143

- inserthorizontalrule: 117

- inserthtml: 104

- insertimage: 70

- insertlinebreak: 166

- insertorderedlist: 135

- insertparagraph: 320

- inserttext: 238

- insertunorderedlist: 148

- italic: 143

- justifycenter: 294

- justifyfull: 233

- justifyleft: 149

- justifyright: 233

- outdent: 175

- quasit: 1

- removeformat: 143

- selectall: 1

- strikethrough: 145

- stylewithcss: 17

- subscript: 85

- superscript: 87

- underline: 145

- unlink: 35

- usecss: 17

 

Furthermore, newly created tests has been run and results showed, that
1120/5536 tests run as expected (all sub-tests returned PASS) and 4416/5536
did not. There are 4 WebProcess crushes; 12 tests have some stderr output.
Rest of failures are because of one or more sub-tests failing. Running all
5536 tests takes 32 min 51.978 sec.

 

What do you think about it? Is it worth paying some time for importing those
tests and then aligning WebKit with W3C specification?

 

Best regards,

Lukasz Bialek

Depending on the amount of energy you're willing to dedicate to this, 
the ideal option could well be to import those tests into the 
web-platform-tests repo and then into WebKit.


Note that I've heard reports in the past that some browsers tried to 
align with the spec but couldn't. The problem is that many of the 
discrepancies are difficult to feature-detect so that an awful lot of 
rich text editing code out there branches off UA identification. As a 
result, fixing bugs that bring browsers more in line with one another 
breaks the Web.


I'd love to hear indication that this is less of a SNAFU than previously 
reported. If not we might be stuck and in need of a more radical solution.

Re: [webkit-dev] Importing W3C tests for editing

2014-02-05 Thread youenn fablet
We are still far from importing into WebKit the whole test set from
web-platform-tests repo.
Improving the situation here would already be a great step forward.

It would also be good to regularly run the whole web-platform-tests repo
test set so as to get statistics in terms of feature alignment and test
import completeness/synchronization. See
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127095#c9 for rough notes on that.
I hope to work on that once the web platform test server will be integrated
into WebKit.

I created a bug to track this (serve imported w3c tests using wptserve:
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127094).
I also plan to work on merging Blink patches to allow checking
testharness-based tests without the use of any -expected file:
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127095.



2014/1/6 Dirk Pranke dpra...@chromium.org

 Ryosuke and I discussed this a bit over IRC. Ryosuke's main concern was
 that supporting multiple document roots adds a fair amount of complexity to
 NRWT. Conceptually, it's probably easier to add support to run the W3C's
 new server (known as wptserve) and then maybe use it for *all* imported
 tests from the W3C.

 If it turns out that wptserve is too slow, and you would prefer to run
 only some of the directories over http (i.e., the 10k+ CSS tests don't need
 http), you'll probably need to modify how wptserve is run (and NRWT) as
 well, anyway, so the patch would be different.

 Ryosuke, please let me know if I've misstated your thinking at all.

 I’d prefer LayoutTests/imported/w3c. Although I’m not so happy about
 the different terminology we are using for “imported” vs. “ThirdParty”,
 which seems like the same concept at the top level of the directory
 structure.


 One trickiness to it is that we don't currently run any HTTP test in
 parallel and the document root of the HTTP server is set to
 LayoutTests/http/tests so we might need to modify that or restart the HTTP
 server whenever we're running HTTP tests outside of LayoutTests/http.

I'm happy to report that the conversion to a python server as well as of

Re: [webkit-dev] Importing W3C tests for HTML template elements

2013-12-06 Thread Dirk Pranke
The way I got around this when I was first working on it was to simply map
imported/w3c onto a subdirectory of the document root in apache; it's a two
line change.

For some time I've toyed with the idea of changing the DocumentRoot to just
be LayoutTests/, so that any test could be run over http directly. A lot of
tests and test results would need to be updated for this, but I think it
could simplify the test organization a fair amount and open up some
interesting possibilities.

 Might be nice to think about a more elegant way to trigger the HTTP server
 when needed. Even requiring some kind of trigger file in each directory
 would be better than the hard-coded path rule we use now.


I'd prefer/recommend LayoutTests/imported/w3c as well (and just modify the
test scripts to deal w/ the additional http servers). As you start to pull
in more of the w3c's tests, there will probably need to be some overall
cleanup and refactoring of how stuff like this works and is shared (e.g.,
duplication of files under resources/ , paths mapped in the http server,
etc.). Blink has the same issues. I'd be happy to help out with this where
possible to try and keep things relatively consistent.

 updating the test scripts to start/stop the HTTP test server for that 
 particular sub-folder.
 
 Any preference?

I’d prefer LayoutTests/imported/w3c. Although I’m not so happy about the 
different terminology we are using for “imported” vs. “ThirdParty”, which seems 
like the same concept at the top level of the directory structure.

Might be nice to think about a more elegant way to trigger the HTTP server when 
needed. Even requiring some kind of trigger file in each directory would be 
better than the hard-coded path rule we use now.

[webkit-dev] Importing W3C tests for HTML template elements

2013-11-21 Thread Ryosuke Niwa
Hi,

There has been a lot of discussions about importing W3C tests.

Since I'm already trying to enable HTML template elements, I've decided to
take lead on this and add LayoutTests/w3c directory as we've previously
come to consensus.

I've posted a patch to import some of HTML template elements tests into
LayoutTests/w3c/html-templates at
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=124699

Since W3C is planning to move all tests into web-platform-tests repository:
https://github.com/w3c/web-platform-tests, I didn't feel the need to put it
inside LayoutTests/w3c/web-platform-tests/html-templates but I can do that
if someone feels strongly about it.

[webkit-dev] Importing W3C tests to webkit

2012-05-23 Thread Jacob Goldstein
At the WebKit contributor's meeting in April, we discussed a process for 
importing third party tests into the WebKit repository (specifically, from the 
W3C test repository).

I documented the process that we came up with at the meeting on the WebKit 
wiki, here:
http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/ImportingThirdPartyTests

It would be great if we could get some feedback on this process.

Once we can finalize the details for how this should function, the effort can 
proceed - scripts can be written to help automate the effort and an actual 
import of select W3C test suites can be performed.

Re: [webkit-dev] Importing W3C tests to webkit

2012-05-23 Thread Ryosuke Niwa
As I have said in the past, we should just import all tests, and treat
non-text, non-ref tests as pixel tests. If we wanted to reduce the number
of pixel tests we import, then we should submit those patches to W3C
instead of directly submitting them to WebKit.

In general, I don't buy the argument that adding more pixel tests incurs
more cost than the benefit we get from importing the tests. If that were
the case, we can just get rid of the existing pixel tests we have.

The only sane argument I've heard so far to gate pixel tests is that the
correctness of such tests need to be manually inspected, which requires a
lot of manual labor and is very error prone.

For script-based tests that print PASS/FAIL, it seems better to just check
in *-expected-failure.txt or even -expected.txt files because we'll see
PASS/FAIL in the expected tests themselves.

Doing anything incurs some cost. In fact, not adding a test itself incurs a
risk cost of potentially taking regressions in the future that could have
been caught by the test.

Sure. We shouldn't be importing tests that are obviously duplicates of our
existing tests.

I'm not concerned of those. Once the correct expected result is checked in,
it's pretty easy to rebaseline tests per rendering engine changes assuming
people who are rebaselining tests know what they're doing.

There is also the fact that the more tests we have, the more tests we

Sure, but I don't think that's a valid argument for not adding tests
especially since there is no way for us to mechanically test whether two
tests test the same set of features or not (this is an intractable problem
even in its limited form and an undecidable one in its most general form).

Also, using ref test or pixel test, etc... doesn't change the cycle time
significantly so I don't understand what your argument is. Or are you
suggesting that non-ref tests are somehow more redundant than ref tests?
(please give us why).

Of course, it's also potentially the case that

Because the current process is broken :) In the ideal world, we would be
updating our copy of W3C tests every so often (e.g. every month or so).

You should be concerned; keeping pixel tests up-to-date is clearly a
non-zero cost that only the chromium port thus far has been willing to
bear, and I suspect that the cost of updating baselines is
substantially higher than the cost of the initial review over time
(since it's a recurring cost).

We only have to ask Emil and Levi what the cost of updating all of the
pixel tests were for the subpixel layout test change, or ask the skia
guys how many bug fixes they're reluctant to make because of the cost
of reviewing literally thousands of images that change
inconsequentially for empirical evidence for this.

 There is also the fact that the more tests we have, the more tests we
 have to run, and increasing cycle time by itself is a cost to developer
 productivity.

 Sure, but I don't think that's a valid argument for not adding tests
 especially since there is no way for us to mechanically test whether two
 tests test the same set of features or not (this is an intractable problem
 even in its limited form and an undecidable one in its most general form).

At some point adding more tests will introduce a declining marginal
rate of return in finding more bugs; this is a truism of software
development, and is why *all* software testing efforts stop at some
point (ignoring formal proofs of completeness in model checkers).
Either you don't think this is true, or you think this is true and
we're just not at that point yet.

If you think the latter then we agree, but I don't understand why you
are arguing as if you believe the former.

To repeat myself, I have never said that we shouldn't ever add more
tests, just that we should have a rational process for doing so that
includes looking at what overlap we have with the existing tests and
making sure that adding more tests delivers value. Since you agree at
least that we shouldn't be adding duplicate tests, you clearly agree
with this to some degree, so I'm not sure if you and I have any real
disagreements or if we're just talking past each other.

 Also, using ref test or pixel test, etc... doesn't change the cycle time
 significantly so I don't understand what your argument is. Or are you
 suggesting that non-ref tests are somehow more redundant than ref tests?
 (please give us why).

I am saying that I believe that adding pixel tests incur more cost on
the project than adding ref tests, and since all testing is about cost
vs. benefit, you need to be more careful when adding pixel tests.
Since we actively discourage people from writing pixel tests in favor
of text-only or ref tests, I hardly think this is a controversial
stance.

As a side note to this discussion, there is talk in the W3C community
regarding their test approval process.  At the recent working group
meetings in Germany the idea was floated to simply approve all tests that
are currently waiting for review (and doing this going forward, e.g. no
longer requiring approval upon submission).

Apparently, not enough people are reviewing tests, and as a result, tests
can linger for months (or longer) before ever being looked at.  Once
browser vendors start implementing features, associated tests will be
revisited for that area.

This has by no means been decided, but something we should consider if it
ultimately does come to fruition.  If W3C tests are no longer
reviewed, this would mean importing tests without any knowledge of their
accuracy - though that will still allow us to catch regressions.

 Both are more maintenance than a text-only test. In my experience,
 maintaining pixel tests is more expensive, but I also don't have any
 experience maintaining a non-pixel-test-running port.

There are occasional changes that require rebaselining a very large number of 
render tree dumps. In my experience, this happens much less often than the 
frequency at which Chromium ports update pixel results, by several orders of 
magnitude.

 
 We can address the pixel result issue by introducing a new test that dumps 
 its render tree but does not do pixel testing.
 
 Yes, it might make sense to do this (although it's not obvious to me
 how we would do this without modifying the test sources). Maybe we
 would need to maintain a separate manifest or some other list
 somewhere to indicate which dirs or tests should include pixel
 results.

The quick and dirty way would be to add a SkipPixel directive (or whatever) to 
TestExpectations.

Ick :(. I suppose if the test suites are mostly coming from

it would be nice to see the suites get vetted somehow prior to them

a bit and/or send you some suggestions offlist for some minor things.

The one major issue I still have that I wouldn't want to just
add/sneak into the wiki, is that I still don't see much of a
discussion for how we identify duplicate tests.

The mindset I would prefer would be that, for a given test suite, the
person or persons importing the test suite should have to start by
identifying which existing tests we have for similar functionality,
and produce lists of which existing tests look like they are
duplicates and should be remvoed, which tests we have that should be
submitted back to the w3c for future inclusion, and which tests are
clearly webkit-specific and should be kept but identified as clearly
webkit-specific.

For example, if we import a flexbox test suite from css3, we should
default to removing fast/flexbox (and possibly also
ietestcenter/css3/flexbox).

[ This is a purely hypothetical example (I know nothing about these
test suites). I wish to re-emphasize that we will have to look at
these things on a case-by-case basis. ]

I have no idea how much work we'd be asking the importer to undertake,
but that's kinda the point. If we don't ask the importer to de-dup
things, who is realistically going to de-dup them later?

What do others thinks, is this too much to ask? If it is, how do we
avoid incurring further test debt over time?
