Per Maciej's request, I will attempt to summarize both the decisions reached in the prior mega-thread, and the discussion that has so far occurred subsequently occurred on webkit.org/b/86749. This is largely requoting one of Ojan's earlier messages:
Changes mostly agreed to: * WONTFIX will imply SKIP * we will now indicate the bug associated with an expectation by using an abbreviated URL, e.g. webkit.org/b/12345. You will still be able to associate a line with a user instead, but we will shift to bug(ircnick). * SKIP, SLOW, TIMEOUT, and WONTFIX will move to the right of the test name, leaving just platform/configuration modifiers on the left So, examples: webkit.org/b/12345 LION DEBUG : foo/bar.html = TEXT bug(ojan) : foo/baz.html = SLOW CRASH Changes still being discussed: * We will keep some sort of mechanism for delimiting the different parts of the line, but we're open to changing what the delimiters are. Current leading favorites are using "\" in between the platform modifiers, the test, and the expected outcome, and using "[" and "]" to bracket the text, e.g.: webkit.org/b/12345 LION DEBUG \ foo.bar.html \ TEXT bug(ojan) \ foo.baz.html \ SLOW CRASH and: webkit.org/b/12345 LION DEBUG [ foo.bar.html ] TEXT bug(ojan) [ foo.baz.html ] SLOW CRASH I have officially waffled in favor of either of these, but currently, I'm not sure I prefer either of the two to the existing syntax. I would, however, strongly prefer not to use "," as a delimiter, because I don't want to make the syntax looks like a CSV file, and I think it's probably not a great idea to use any character that might actually occur in a test name. * Should we change the case of the keywords to either all lower case, or mixed case? I am open to all lower case, since we still have delimiters. I don't think mixed case will improve readability over either all lower or all upper. * Should we change the outcome modifiers to something else and/or change their semantics? That's being discussed in a separate thread. I have also filed webkit.org/b/86892 to track both of these issues. * Should we just get rid of "SLOW" ? I have filed webkit.org/b/86889 for this one. -- Dirk _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
