Description Simon Fraser (smfr) 2019-10-16 19:11:35 PDT
I'm trying to run ipad tests. I tried:

run-webkit-tests --ios-simulator --device-type=ipad since the help says:

  iOS Options:
    --no-install        Skip install step for device and simulator testing
    --version=VERSION   Specify the version of iOS to be used. By default,
                        this will adopt the runtime for iOS Simulator.
    --device-type=DEVICE_TYPE
                        iOS Simulator device type identifier (default: i386 ->
                        iPhone 5, x86_64 -> iPhone SE)

but that still runs an iPhone SE sim.

I guess I want --ipad-simulator? Why does --device-type=ipad map to that?

That’s what the bots use.

I think that if you used a type that exists (like “iPad Pro”), then maybe it would start an iPad simulator, but use iPhone expectations? Just guessing.
