Bug 76245 – [Mac][DRT] should allow query string for the file URL.

• Component: Tools / Tests
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Hajime Morrita]

This is a part of effort to run Dromaeo on DRT.

Dromaeo select the subset of test to run by reading the query string.
But DRT cannot pass it because file urls don't support query string.
So we need some way to give a context other than query string to run the test.

By injecting some script from outside, we can start the script by emulating user operation.
This kind of automation helper would be helpful to run existing testcases. We can do
- invoking layoutTestController without touching the page source.
- emulating user operation like clicking
- modifying page DOM to format the report.

Can we run the tests inside an iframe?

Ah, that looks better idea actually. I'll try.

FWIW, I am able to load file:///test.html?test and file:///test.html#test in Safari Mac and Chrome Linux.  window.location seems to have properly parsed the query string and the fragment.

Hmm interesting. May be we can fix DRT to handle it.
Its Filename to URl conversion look doubtful.

Are you planning to add this ability to other ports of DRT, and to WebKitTestRunner?

Hi Adam, thank you for your interest!

I don't have any concrete plan yet. But it should be done when we add perf tests on the waterfall.
I'm currently focusing on ensuring the feasibility of the idea, that is to run third party perf tests on DRT.

So any help would be appreciated ;-)
