Bug 98648 – DumpRenderTree should have --pixel-tests option again

• Component: Tools / Tests
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Balazs Kelemen]

It turned out that it is useful to have a way to turn on pixel testing from the command line. See bug 95098 for example. I also often feel the luck of it when working with pixel tests. Let's add it back.

Why is this useful?  Pixel tests require a harness to parse them from the input stream and write out the png files, etc, no?

While that would seem to be true, I have heard the complaint from many people that they miss the flag. I guess maybe they extract the PNGs manually or something?

I often just check whether it is crashing or not or check if the output is an empty image (this is recognizable from the output).

Anyone up to review this?

Sorry, this must've fallen off my radar :(.

-p doesn't actually work, does it? just --pixel-tests? 

Ideally we'd support -p everywhere as well.

Landed in http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/133574.
I added -p to Qt's DRT and WTR, but I didn't do it for other ports.
