Bug 66040 – REGRESSION: nrwt does not use the right fallback sequence for platform-specific tests

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

[Ryosuke Niwa]

platform/mac/fast/text/international/Geeza-Pro-vertical-metrics-adjustment.html has been failing on Snow Leopard since andersca has landed his Lion results on http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/92496.

Looking at the result.html, it appears that it's grabbing the expected result from platform/mac/ instead of platform/mac-snowleopard:
http://build.webkit.org/results/SnowLeopard%20Intel%20Debug%20(Tests)/r92823%20(1624)/results.html

[Ryosuke Niwa]

This is a serious bug as there's currently no way of putting different expected results for Lion, Snow Leopard, and Leopard.

I suspect NRWT just doesn't know anything about lion, and thus assumes that mac/ is Snow Leopard.

[Dirk Pranke]

NRWT knows about the platform/mac-snow-leopard directory. There isn't an expected result for platform/mac/fast/text/international/Geeza-Pro-vertical-metrics-adjustment.html there, so it uses the one from platform/mac. So, NRWT seems to be working correctly.

Is the complaint that a rebaselining tool isn't doing the right thing, perhaps? Or is there something else stopping someone from putting a baseline in the SL dir?

snowleopard is snow supposed to fall back to lion before mac.

I'll change NRWT to match ORWT.

There is!
http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/LayoutTests/platform/mac-snowleopard/fast/text/international/Geeza-Pro-vertical-metrics-adjustment-expected.txt

NRWT should be grabbing the result from mac-snowleopard instead of mac.

Really?  That doesn't sound right but if that's what ORWT does then I guess NRWT can do that as well.  But I don't think that'll solve problem either because we don't have http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/LayoutTests/platform/mac-lion/fast/text/international/Geeza-Pro-vertical-metrics-adjustment-expected.txt, and even if we did, it'll be Lion specific result.

The problem is that NRWT isn't looking for the expected result in mac-snowleopard before mac when the test itself is in mac.

[Tony Chang]

The SL expected result for LayoutTests/platform/mac/fast/text/international/Geeza-Pro-vertical-metrics-adjustment.html would be in LayoutTests/platform/mac-snow-leopard/platform/mac/fast/text/international/Geeza-Pro-vertical-metrics-adjustment-expected.txt (to differentiate from a test at LayoutTests/fast/text/international/Geeza-Pro-vertical-metrics-adjustment.html).

Maybe ORWT doesn't work that way?

ORWT assumes the expected result be in  LayoutTests/platform/mac-snow-leopard/fast/text/international/ instead of LayoutTests/platform/mac-snow-leopard/platform/mac/fast/text/international/

[Tony Chang]

Why are there results checked into platform/*/platform then?  Some of them date back as far as 2009 (pre-NRWT):

That sounds broken to me. I agree with Tony.

To further complicate things, I'll note that there is also a LayoutTests/platform/mac-snowleopard/fast/text/international/Geeza-Pro-vertical-metrics-adjustment.html file itself.

I.e., there are platform-specific tests for both mac and mac-sl with the same "generic" name :(. In theory, the platform/mac-snowleopard/f/t/i/G-P-v-m-a-expected.txt file could be interpreted as the "generic" result for that test, or be the platform-specific result for the generic f/t/i test (if it existed).

Huh, I might be wrong then.

[Ryosuke Niwa]

So this bug may be invalid after all.

I just implemented support for Lion fallback orders in bug 66093.

Unclear if this should still be open?
