NRWT is in use by the Chromium port. At some point I believe the Qt port used it as well. It successfully runs the layout tests for Mac and Win ports as well, last I tried. Obviously it has not replaced ORWT, but I believe that is still the intention.
Work on NRWT (by me) stopped about a year ago, when we hit a critical bug in Python' subprocess module, making NRWT hang on the Mac. Others have worked on NWRT re-writes since then (to work around the python bug, among other things). There is a large amount of infrastructure built around NRWT in chromium-land. Ojan's comment contains one example of such infrastructure. I have no timeline for you, as I'm no longer working on NRWT. But others may. -eric On Fri, Mar 18, 2011 at 4:01 PM, Adam Barth <[email protected]> wrote: > As recently as a week ago, dpranke said that he's planning to continue > working on NRWT: > > https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34984#c3 > > dpranke just launched OWNERS files for Chromium this morning, so > hopefully he'll return to WebKit-land soon! > > http://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/group/chromium-dev/browse_thread/thread/a10ef15234df067d# > > Adam > > > On Fri, Mar 18, 2011 at 1:51 PM, Mark Rowe <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> On 2011-03-17, at 23:50, Ojan Vafai wrote: >> >>> * For now, it only works with the bots that use new-run-webkit-tests.
