Bug 28939 – Clean up localStorage.clear() layout test.

• Component: New Bugs
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Jeremy Orlow]

This is the first step of https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27897 which is a pretty major cleanup of all the dom storage layout tests.  I'm just changing this one to begin with to get buy-in on the approach.

This also adds a new method to the fast/js/js-test-pre.js that runs a command and prints it to the screen.  This should really help with making the output of the tests readable without looking at the source code.

I've cc'ed everyone that I (think I) remember commenting about the dom storage layout tests at some point or another.  Please do take a quick look and let me know if you'd be happy r+ing patches of this style in the future.  Once we can all agree on it, I'll go ahead and convert the rest in subsequent patches/bugs.

Thanks!

Maybe evalAndLog instead?  Either way, this looks fine.

[Jeremy Orlow]

evalAndLog seems better.  I think I might prefix error messages with something as well.  Maybe "Ran: " or "Executed: " or something?

I'll hold off committing until tomorrow evening in case there's more feedback.  (So please don't put this in the commit queue!!!!!)

Not ending up in the commit-queue is an easily solved problem. :)

[Jeremy Orlow]

All right.  Hopefully silence means agreement.  :-)

I'll submit this (with the function name change) and start converting others tomorrow.  I'll probably do them in small chunks (1-3 tests per patch) to keep things easily reviewable.

One thing you might try is to commit this while folks are on the IRC channel.  That can be a good way to flush out opinions from folks who might not comment on the bug beforehand.
