Description Kent Hansen 2010-01-21 06:42:43 PST
For example, addEventListener is a property of the window prototype object, yet Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(window, "addEventListener") returns a descriptor for it.
JSDOMWindow::getOwnPropertyDescriptor() should not return the descriptor for properties in the prototype.

When the test is written this way, the results are unpredictable because the order property names come out of getOwnPropertyNames is unpredictable and depends on hash table ordering. This creates a fragile test with results that get shuffled around any time someone adds or removes a property or changes the hash algorithm. Instead I suggest we have a test that sorts the names so things are in a predictable order.

See tests like window-properties.html for an example of how this has been done in the past.

r=me for the code, but your test is liekly to be unstable, possibly just do a simple sort on the output of getOwnPropertyNames?  I think additionally your test should test to ensure that you still see own properties.

Agreed on the sorting, I didn't think of it until I was on the subway home.
I did set out to write a "positive" test that uses getOwnPropertyNames() and verifies that those properties have descriptors, but then I'll need a property exclusion list similar to the one in window-properties.html to keep the test robust, and I'd prefer not to copy&paste that code or have to do test refactoring in this change (I have a different task for refactoring those tests already, https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32596).
Well, I could create a task "Add getOwnPropertyDescriptor test for window object" and make it a blocker for this task.

Updated patch (more elaborate test)

Test properties that should have descriptors as well as those that should not.

This broke Leopard:
http://build.webkit.org/results/Leopard%20Intel%20Debug%20(Tests)/r53706%20(9644)/fast/dom/Window/window-property-descriptors-pretty-diff.html

Looks like it needs new baselines.

Looks like there was an attempt to fix this in r53738

Fix is good, sorry for the breakage.
Adding "debug vs release" to my Things-to-keep-in-mind-before-submitting-tests checklist. :)

Has this been rolled out? there aren't comments to suggest that it was, but it's also been reopened implying it was rolled out.

Nope.
Comment 13 Kent Hansen 2010-01-26 07:35:11 PST
The tests aren't failing anymore (the fix Eric pointed to also fixed Windows Debug). Can we close this task again?
Comment 14 Eric Seidel (no email) 2010-01-26 12:07:36 PST
I don't see any reason to keep it open.
