Description Adam Roben (:aroben) 2011-05-09 07:06:49 PDT
Attachment 92746 [details] in bug 54181 contained XML syntax errors in WebCore.vcproj. check-webkit-style didn't flag those errors, so the buggy patch was committed in r86047. I had to land a fix in r86052 to fix them.

We should figure out why check-webkit-style didn't flag the errors.

Note that check-webkit-style *does* flag the errors if run on the r86047 version of WebCore.vcproj. It just doesn't flag the errors when run on the patch.

I suspect this has to do with the fact that it filters to only be on the lines where changes were made. In general, this is really good, but for some checkers like the xml one, it probably shouldn't happen.

Yep, that was it. Patching coming shortly. The test expectations checker had the same issue.

Changed the title back to describing a symptom, not a cause.

All reviewed patches have been landed.  Closing bug.
Comment 10 Dirk Pranke 2012-12-11 12:45:45 PST
Just for the record, it doesn't seem to still make sense to check the whole file for TestExpectations changes, so I've restored the line filtering in bug 104701 ... see the comments in that bug for more context.
Comment 11 Dirk Pranke 2012-12-11 12:46:11 PST
Argh, bug 104687, not bug 104701.
