Bug 151542 – run-webkit-tests: http server for imported W3C tests doesn't work with --layout-tests-directory switch

• Component: Tools / Tests
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[David Kilzer (:ddkilzer)]

When invoking run-webkit-tests with the --layout-tests-directory command-line switch, the http server for the imported W3C tests ignores that path and instead creates a path relative to the Tools directory from which it is invoked.

That causes a problem when the WebKit working directory for Tools is sparse (just the Tools directory has been checked out), and the LayoutTests directory is also sparse.

As it turns out, it's pretty easy to fix, and it removes an argument from the WebPlatformTestServer constructor.

Would this test work without this option?
Would it be good to have an additional test dedicated to a non-default layout_tests_dir value?

This looks sane to me. I did not mark this cq+ to give you a chance to reply to Youenn Fablet and/or amend the patch.

Good question!  The existing tests do work without this, so I removed it.

And I added a test that requires that layout_tests_dir be set.

Thanks!
