Hi, There has been some complaints / discussions about how syntax in test_expectations.txt is confusing (and I agree with you) on webkit-dev and at contributors' meeting.
So I have a patch on https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86691 to simplify syntax in test_expectation.txt as follows: - Bug modififers are bug numebr themselves for WebKit and URLs for non-WebKit bugs e.g. 12345 and crbug.com/12345 instead of BUGWK12345 and BUGCR12345respectively - : and = delimiters are no longer needed - All modifiers and expectations show before test name e.g. 12345 WIN MAC TEXT IMAGE test.html instead of BUGWK12345 WIN MAC : test.html = TEXT IMAGE *Note*: Just listing a test DOES NOT automatically skip a test even after my patch is applied: test.html will result in a warning, and we still expect it to pass. I'll cite Ojan's comment for the rationale: > The bigger problem with implying SKIP, is how do you decide when SKIP > isn't applied? That needs some hidden set of rules that's too complicated > IMO. We can come back to this problem later if we wanted but let us start from the above cleanups first. For those who are interested, we're also going to rename test_expectations.txt to something more WebKitty on https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86690. Best regards, Ryosuke Niwa Software Engineer Google Inc.
