Bug 42845 – Layout test html5lib/runner.html failing on Chromium

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Layout and Rendering

[Stephen White]

Layout test html5lib/runner.html has been failing on all Chrome platforms since Chromium r53064, WebKit r63708.

This is a bug in V8 that's stuck in the political mud.

Sorry Adam. I don't think I can do anything for this. I also don't think I indicated that I try to persuade the v8 team about this (which I have zero influence over and no contact with).

fwiw, I think it is fine to rebaseline this. Given the lack of movement on the v8 side and the annoyance that you seem to be having over mention this test, a simple solution may be to update the test's output to indicate that different js engines will have different outputs. Hopefully, that may be enough to get folks just to rebaseline it automatically.

Updating the (stale) Chromium baselines seems like the best option right now (not sure why they were platform-specific, as far as I can tell Chromium produces the same output for Mac, Linux and Windows).

Adam, do you have a pointer to the V8 bug?

The bug is the error reporting in V8 is gratuitously different (see the top of the file).
