Looks fine. r=me.

I think we should start writing layout tests for these. Would that be possible today or there's a plan to write layout tests for these changes soon?

Learning about (and then writing) layout tests was on my to-do list, but not my today-/this-weekend list. :-) However, I will re-adjust my list. Last time I looked at merely running the tests (once they were running) I kept getting failures, so I've got a few things to work on before I can start generating tests.

Mmm, do you mean unit tests here? Or how could we test ATK APIs from layout tests in JavaScript?

Layout tests. We're not testing ATK APIs but testing the accessible characteristics of AX objects. AccessibilityController exposes some of this attributes that we can test in JavaScript. It's still missing a few implementations for Gtk though, but shouldn't be difficult to implement those.

OK. Since most of what we are doing here is implementing the ATK APIs I assumed you were referring to that. In any case, testing that all those APIs work as expected is, at least, as important as doing layout tests for any core AX functionality we are using or adding.

bugzilla-tool is not smart enough to leave bugs open after landing due to bug 28230.  So this bug will need to be re-opened after the commit-queue lands patch #1.  Either someone (which can be me), needs to fix bug 28230, or better yet, we should follow the one-change-per-bug style that is more common in WebKit. :)

Sorry. New bugs spun off for each patch.

Should I also file new bugs for the tests which I will (hopefully) write for each of those bugs, or do tests associated with a fix constitute part of a single change?

Certainly nothing to apologize for!  :)   I just wanted you to know that our tools don't handle multiple-patches-per-bug very well.

Tests should go along with fixes.  When I review patches often seeing and understanding what the tests are doing is more important than the code itself.  If we have a test, we'll never break the code in the same way again. :)
