Description Simon Fraser (smfr) 2017-05-15 14:36:40 PDT 
If a WPT fails, the layout test results page that I get after running tests links to file URLs, not http urls, so I can't just click on that link to load the test correctly.

Example: imported/w3c/web-platform-tests/cssom-view/CaretPosition-001.html is failing, test page links to file:///Volumes/Data/Development/OSX/webkit/OpenSource/LayoutTests/imported/w3c/web-platform-tests/cssom-view/CaretPosition-001.html

Of course an http link is only going to work if I have the WPT server running.

Which is normally not the case when looking at this webpage.

Agreed that we should handle the case of bot results, in which case they should point to a WPT/Apache global web server or if they come from local rwt runs where pointing to a local server is fine.

I guess the page could point to both...

Maybe a little arrow next to the test name that points to the testable URL.
