Bug 73680 – Convert isolate and plaintext tests to reftests

• Component: Text
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Ryosuke Niwa]

Since we support reftests now, we should convert tests for -webkit-isolate and -webkit-plaintext to reftests.

isolate difference (top: basic.html, below: basic-expected.html)

It appears that I can't convert unicode-bidi-isolate-basic to a reftest. There's very slight difference in the way text is laid out. Notice in the attached screenshot, נ and ( are slightly to the left of the expected version.

I'll add aharon-failing to appropriate test_expectation.txt and Skipped files before landing this patch.

Eric, Dan, & Levi, do you have any idea why we have a different rendering in isolate and inline-block?

converts the test

Is there a height limit on ref tests? Do they still work on content that is very tall or very wide?

Removing the expected result lines (the “reference” ones) from the original of the tests is OK for DumpRenderTree, but not so great for running the tests in the browser and looking to see if they are working. For these sorts of tests, I’d prefer to have the ref contain doubled versions of things and have the original show both the original and ref so the test is still easy to understand if you just load it up in a browser. If the test describes correctness, and the ref-test aspect is “just for the computer” that’s one thing, but please remember we want these tests to be easy to understand on their own in a web browser as well.

Reftests still have 800x600 restriction. We discussed about this at TPAC, we agreed that WebKit's 800x600 screen size is a nice once to converge to. Opera uses something like 1600x1200 and that apparently takes up a lot of space to store.

Yeah, I was thinking about this while converting these tests. One drawback of reftests is that tests and expected results aren't self-contained in one file. Maybe we just need a tool to view reftests e.g. an iframe that loads into two different frames next to each other for easy comparison.

On the other hand, I find going back & forth between test and expected result using history navigation to be most useful tool when comparing two results because human brains are pretty good at keeping visual images momentary to see the differences.

On Mac Lion, css3/bdi-element.html is now failing.

The text ": 3 posts" is 1 pixel further to the left in the reference rendering compared to the test result.

The technique we are using here may be incorrect.

Right, an inline can have a non-integral width, but the reference rendering uses an inline block, whose width is always rounded up.

Oops. I didn't know that. Let me fix that. Will file a new bug and post a patch.

You can simply put both the test and expected results in the test file, and duplicate expected results in the expectation file.
