Hi again,

Also, internally for testing, we were having run-jsc-stress-tests write perl in 
the test scripts, but is there a preference for which language (perl, python, 
ruby, ...) to use?

Thanks,
Steph

Subject: [webkit-dev] Looking to remove cygwin dependency for javascript tests 
for Windows ports

Hi,

As part of Sony's work on getting the jsconly build for Windows, we're also 
looking at the possibility of trying to remove/reduce the dependency on Cygwin 
for the javascript tests from run-javascript-tests since the build itself runs 
from a normal windows shell. Internally we did a very preliminary POC of a 
version of run-jsc-stress-tests for windows which built perl scripts for the 
test scripts rather than shell scripts and were able to get a bunch of the 
tests running. We attached that to 
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=174985 . Obviously, that's not a 
reasonable version for inclusion, but we wanted to discuss whether there was 
support for removing the dependency before doing too much more down this path.

Our current thinking is that if we go forward with this, we'd probably step it 
as:
1. Move the test script and test runner code from run-jsc-stress-tests into a 
ruby file that is included from the main script 2. Make an option to allow 
using an alternate version of the above 3. Make an alternate version that 
didn't rely on shell

Thanks,
Stephan
