Bug 13565 – Change svn-create-patch to put LayoutTests in the end

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Tools / Tests

It's arguably easier to review patches when the code changes come before the tests.

Patch v1

+        In addition reordering non-binary files under the LayoutTests directory, this

Typo: "In addition" -> "In addition to"

+        $dir = File::Spec->catdir($dirs[0], ".svn") if -d $dirs[0];
+        $dir = File::Spec->catdir(dirname($dirs[0]), ".svn") if -f $dirs[0];

It would be nice not to repeat the catdir call -- can you put the directory name in a local and then call catdir?

+# Generate the diff for text files, layout files then binary files for easy reviewing

"layout files" is a confusing term (and "layoutFiles" is a similarly misleading variable name). Perhaps "test files"/"testFiles" would be more appropriate?

Thanks!

It won't because the 'if' part of the statement will be executed first in both lines, and a path can't be both a file and a directory.

Regardless, the code is confusing to read, so I'll change this anyway.  :)

"layoutTestsFiles"?  (Kidding!)  I'll change it to "test files"/"testFiles" and land.
