Ryosuke and I discussed this on Monday, and in passing, Ryosuke mentioned that
he personally finds something like this:
<test-name>.html
<test-name>-expected.txt
<test-name>-expected-<device-type>.txt
more clear than the directory method I proposed. After implementing the above
approach in the patch uploaded to
<https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=192162
<https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=192162>>, I’m inclined to agree.
Ryosuke’s approach achieves everything we need for device-type specific
expected results.
This still doesn’t solve disagreements about how to organize test results when
a single test is run on multiple device types, but it seems like a step in the
right direction.
