It should encourage more people to run those tests. + +<h2>Subject Overview</h2> +<p> +The table element and its children are one of the major layout components that can create some structure on the screen. They are widely (ab)used by page authors. Every small change in the table code can generate a bunch of bugzilla entries and a lot of seemingly unrelated dupes. With the high frequency of checkins in to the source tree it is difficult and time consuming to track the regression down to a single checkin. The risk of becoming very infamous can be reduced by running the layout regression tests. + +<h2>Prerequisites</h2> +<p> +In order to run these tests, you will need to have: +<ol> +<li>a debug build with a working viewer, an optimized build will not work! +<li>a mozilla tree with the testfiles at <code>%MOZ_SRC%/layout/html/tests</code>, +<li> <code>DISABLE_TESTS</code> should not be defined, +<li>patience and time. +</ol> + +<h2>Test Runs</h2> + +<ul> +<li>Go to the <code>%MOZ_SRC%/layout/html/tests/block</code> directory. +<li> Avoid the nasty assertions to pop up by <code>set XPCOM_DEBUG_BREAK=warn</code>, the world would be a much better place if we could <a href="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152015">first fix those assertions</a>. +<li>The following shell scripts need a <code>sh</code> before the command under WinXX. +<li>Execute <code>rtest.sh baseline</code> +<li>Execute <code>rtest.sh verify>outputfile.txt</code> +<li>Make a note which tests have failed (these are false positives. If you are in bad mood file a bug against Chris Waterson about them) +<li>you can grep the failures by:<br> +<code>grep 'rgd failed' <outputfile.txt >false_positive.txt</code> +<li> Make a copy of <code>gklayout.dll</code> and <code>gkcontent.dll</code> in the <code>dist</code> directory. If you would like to switch back, you will need them. +<li>Make your changes to the source, compile and install. +<li>execute in the <code>layout/html/tests/block</code> directory <code>rtest.sh verify >regression.txt</code> +<li>Check how many tests have failed and analyse your results: +<ul> +<li>If the regression tests have failed at the same place as the previous diagnosed false positives => ignore +<ol> +<li>copy <code>rtest.sh</code> to <code>my_rtest.sh</code> +<li>create a new directory <code>my_files</code>. +<li>create in this directory a file <code>file_list.txt</code>, where you put the url's of your remaining test failures +<li>change <code>my_rtest.sh</code> to use only directory <code>my_files</code> +<li>go back to the original gklayout.dll and gkcontent.dll and repeat the regression test procedure on a much smaller set now. +</ol> +<li>Try to figure out what the other regressions are: Are they + improving the picture or are they regressions? +<li>Note the difficult to explain testfailures. +</ul> +<li> Change the source if necessary until the regression tests indicate that your patch does not hork the block and table layout +<li> Submit your patch and lists the remaining differences in the bug +</ul> + +<p>Be prepared to cycle. + +<h2>How the layout regression tests work</h2> + +<p>First the URL's to test are red from <code>file_list.txt</code>.<p> +<table><caption>snippet from file_list.txt</caption><tr><td> +<pre>file:///s|/mozilla/layout/html/tests/table/dom/appendCells1.html +file:///s|/mozilla/layout/html/tests/table/dom/appendCellsRebuild1.html +file:///s|/mozilla/layout/html/tests/table/dom/appendCol1.html +file:///s|/mozilla/layout/html/tests/table/dom/appendCol2.html +file:///s|/mozilla/layout/html/tests/table/dom/appendColGroup1.html +file:///s|/mozilla/layout/html/tests/table/dom/appendRowsExpand1.html</pre> +</td></tr></table> +<p>The regression tests compare the frame tree dumps recorded at two different times.
