Hi,
We've briefly discussed this subject on IRC following the
announcement of a similar undertaking by Mozilla.
To summarize, Mozilla is in the process of integrating the test
suites of the main JavaScript libraries into their own code base.
For more details, you can read John Resig's blog posts on the subject
here (John's the founder and lead developer of the jQuery JS lib and
also works for Mozilla):
http://ejohn.org/blog/future-proofing-javascript-libraries/
http://ejohn.org/blog/testing-prototype-with-firefox-3/
The idea behind this new thread is to see if something similar could
be implemented in WebKit and if so, how.
Some points worth considering:
- keeping up with the new versions of the JS libs while continuing to
support older ones (some sites still run legacy versions of the
libraries, for example: http://www.apple.com/aperture/ is running
Prototype version 1.4.0_rc3).
- having some kind of communication channel between the WebKit and JS
lib developers.
- keeping the test suites short and manageable.
Thanks and best regards,
Tobie Langel
Prototype Core Team
