Why did you pick 1,000,000? Still seems really small.

I really don't think this test benefits from being done as a check-layout test.

shouldBe("tableElement.offsetWidth", container.scrollWidth); (or clientWidth depending on the test)

would be less code, a lot simpler and avoids the need for hard coded expectations.

I completely agree, the test could be better IMHO. It is extremely opaque.

Thinking of this some more I realize why you did it this way, hard-coded values might be unavoidable in this case. I think moving all of the width-styles to be inline would go a long way towards making the test easier to understand though.

Another option might be to set the width of the table or a cell and then checking the offsetWidth of the table to see if it matches the set value. Still has to deal with border/padding/margins though...

I figure it's still a lot larger than 15000 and really we'll just get rid of this once we enable SATURATED_LAYOUT_ARITHMETHIC everywhere, so I didn't think too much about it, especially since there are tests that actually do overflow if you pick a large enough value.

Right. The parent's scrollWidth and the table's offsetWidth are both wrong (and match each other) at tip of tree.

I can do that if you really want, but I think it makes the test hard to make sense of because you can't easily tell what's different between each test case because there is now all the copy-pasted widths everywhere.

The tricky thing here is that the width of the table needs to be 100% to hit the bad codepath. This tableMaxWidth thing is a bit of a lie really. It only applies in really obscure edge cases it turns out. Most of the time there's no limit on how big your table can be. It was actually difficult to write a test case where this is exposed to web content.

inline some widths

[Ojan Vafai]

I inlined all the widths except for the container width. Does that work?

Also, I'm fine picking a number larger than 1000000, but I'd rather we just wait until we enable SATURATED_LAYOUT_ARITHMETHIC, so we can do the proper fix and get rid of this variable entirely.

Makes sense. Thanks for updating the test.
