Bug 178481 – webkitpy tests should have --json-output option

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Tools / Tests

[Aakash Jain]

webkitpy tests should have --json-output option which would write the json results to a json output file. This would help in developing an EWS which would run webkitpy tests and parse the output from json output file.

Many other scripts like "run-api-tests", "run-bindings-tests", "run-javascriptcore-tests" have "json-output" parameter which is used by corresponding EWSes.

I think that we need at least a fixme to clean this up. Standard output is just a kind of file, so having two options is unnecessary and highly unusual.

Better yet, mark the old one as deprecated, and better yet, remove it.
