I think it’s a good idea to remove these. (An aside: in general, I’m also not a 
fan of JS tests that don’t rely on the DOM existing in LayoutTests.)

Maybe we should integrate these into EWS? The main downside is IIRC, these take 
a while to run. I think it’s ok to remove these even if we never add Test262 to 
EWS since we still run Test262 on bots post-commit.

[webkit-dev] Can we jettison Sputnik?

[Ross . Kirsling]

Hi everybody,

I’d like to verify whether there’s any specific reason that the 
LayoutTests/sputnik directory continues to exist.

According to Wikipedia, “All current Sputnik tests have been incorporated into 
ECMA's Test262 test suite.” (Here “current” evidently means June 2011.) And 
indeed, when making fixes to address Test262 failures in JSC, it’s quite 
awkward to have to update the Sputnik expectations to reflect any new 
“failures”—particularly given that it’s not sufficient to simply build JSC in 
order to run them.

Would anyone object to a patch deleting this directory outright? The only 
concern that occurs to me is that Test262 is not currently integrated into EWS.

Thanks!
Ross
