For +development, it can be installed using the `-e` option:: + + pip install -e ./ + +Running the Tests +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +After installation, the command ``wptrunner`` should be available to run +the tests. + +The ``wptrunner`` command takes multiple options, of which the +following are most significant: + +``--product`` (defaults to `firefox`) + The product to test against: `b2g`, `chrome`, `firefox`, or `servo`. + +``--binary`` (required if product is `firefox` or `servo`) + The path to a binary file for the product (browser) to test against. + +``--webdriver-binary`` (required if product is `chrome`) + The path to a `driver` binary; e.g., a `chromedriver` binary. + +``--certutil-binary`` (required if product is `firefox` [#]_) + The path to a `certutil` binary (for tests that must be run over https). + +``--metadata`` (required) + The path to a directory containing test metadata. [#]_ + +``--tests`` (required) + The path to a directory containing a web-platform-tests checkout. + +``--prefs-root`` (required only when testing a Firefox binary) + The path to a directory containing Firefox test-harness preferences. [#]_ + +``--config`` (should default to `wptrunner.default.ini`) + The path to the config (ini) file. + +.. [#] The ``--certutil-binary`` option is required when the product is + ``firefox`` unless ``--ssl-type=none`` is specified. + +.. [#] The ``--metadata`` path is to a directory that contains: + + * a ``MANIFEST.json`` file (instructions on generating this file are + available in the `detailed documentation + <http://wptrunner.readthedocs.org/en/latest/usage.html#installing-wptrunner>`_); + and + * (optionally) any expectation files (see below) + +.. [#] Example ``--prefs-root`` value: ``~/mozilla-central/testing/profiles``. + +There are also a variety of other options available; use ``--help`` to +list them. + +------------------------------- +Example: How to start wptrunner +------------------------------- + +To test a Firefox Nightly build in an OS X environment, you might start +wptrunner using something similar to the following example:: + + wptrunner --metadata=~/web-platform-tests/ --tests=~/web-platform-tests/ \ + --binary=~/mozilla-central/obj-x86_64-apple-darwin14.3.0/dist/Nightly.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox \ + --certutil-binary=~/mozilla-central/obj-x86_64-apple-darwin14.3.0/security/nss/cmd/certutil/certutil \ + --prefs-root=~/mozilla-central/testing/profiles + +And to test a Chromium build in an OS X environment, you might start +wptrunner using something similar to the following example:: + + wptrunner --metadata=~/web-platform-tests/ --tests=~/web-platform-tests/ \ + --binary=~/chromium/src/out/Release/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS/Chromium \ + --webdriver-binary=/usr/local/bin/chromedriver --product=chrome + +------------------------------------- +Example: How to run a subset of tests +------------------------------------- + +To restrict a test run just to tests in a particular web-platform-tests +subdirectory, specify the directory name in the positional arguments after +the options; for example, run just the tests in the `dom` subdirectory:: + + wptrunner --metadata=~/web-platform-tests/ --tests=~/web-platform-tests/ \ + --binary=/path/to/firefox --certutil-binary=/path/to/certutil \ + --prefs-root=/path/to/testing/profiles \ + dom + +Output +~~~~~~ + +By default wptrunner just dumps its entire output as raw JSON messages +to stdout. This is convenient for piping into other tools, but not ideal +for humans reading the output. + +As an alternative, you can use the ``--log-mach`` option, which provides +output in a reasonable format for humans. The option requires a value: +either the path for a file to write the `mach`-formatted output to, or +"`-`" (a hyphen) to write the `mach`-formatted output to stdout. + +When using ``--log-mach``, output of the full raw JSON log is still +available, from the ``--log-raw`` option. So to output the full raw JSON +log to a file and a human-readable summary to stdout, you might start +wptrunner using something similar to the following example:: + + wptrunner --metadata=~/web-platform-tests/ --tests=~/web-platform-tests/ \ + --binary=/path/to/firefox --certutil-binary=/path/to/certutil \ + --prefs-root=/path/to/testing/profiles \ + --log-raw=output.log --log-mach=- + +Expectation Data +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +wptrunner is designed to be used in an environment where it is not +just necessary to know which tests passed, but to compare the results +between runs. For this reason it is possible to store the results of a +previous run in a set of ini-like "expectation files". This format is +documented below. To generate the expectation files use `wptrunner` with +the `--log-raw=/path/to/log/file` option. This can then be used as +input to the `wptupdate` tool. + +Expectation File Format +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Metadata about tests, notably including their expected results, is +stored in a modified ini-like format that is designed to be human +editable, but also to be machine updatable. + +Each test file that requires metadata to be specified (because it has +a non-default expectation or because it is disabled, for example) has +a corresponding expectation file in the `metadata` directory. For +example a test file `html/test1.html` containing a failing test would +have an expectation file called `html/test1.html.ini` in the +`metadata` directory. + +An example of an expectation file is:: + + example_default_key: example_value + + [filename.html] + type: testharness + + [subtest1] + expected: FAIL + + [subtest2] + expected: + if platform == 'win': TIMEOUT + if platform == 'osx': ERROR + FAIL + + [filename.html?query=something] + type: testharness + disabled: bug12345 + +The file consists of two elements, key-value pairs and +sections. + +Sections are delimited by headings enclosed in square brackets. Any +closing square bracket in the heading itself my be escaped with a +backslash. Each section may then contain any number of key-value pairs +followed by any number of subsections. So that it is clear which data +belongs to each section without the use of end-section markers, the +data for each section (i.e. the key-value pairs and subsections) must +be indented using spaces. Indentation need only be consistent, but +using two spaces per level is recommended. + +In a test expectation file, each resource provided by the file has a +single section, with the section heading being the part after the last +`/` in the test url. Tests that have subsections may have subsections +for those subtests in which the heading is the name of the subtest. + +Simple key-value pairs are of the form:: + + key: value + +Note that unlike ini files, only `:` is a valid seperator; `=` will +not work as expected. Key-value pairs may also have conditional +values of the form:: + + key: + if condition1: value1 + if condition2: value2 + default + +In this case each conditional is evaluated in turn and the value is +that on the right hand side of the first matching conditional. In the +case that no condition matches, the unconditional default is used. If +no condition matches and no default is provided it is equivalent to +the key not being present. Conditionals use a simple python-like expression +language e.g.:: + + if debug and (platform == "linux" or platform == "osx"): FAIL + +For test expectations the avaliable variables are those in the +`run_info` which for desktop are `version`, `os`, `bits`, `processor`, +`debug` and `product`. + +Key-value pairs specified at the top level of the file before any +sections are special as they provide defaults for the rest of the file +e.g.:: + + key1: value1 + + [section 1] + key2: value2 + + [section 2] + key1: value3 + +In this case, inside section 1, `key1` would have the value `value1` +and `key2` the value `value2` whereas in section 2 `key1` would have +the value `value3` and `key2` would be undefined. + +The web-platform-test harness knows about several keys: + +`expected` + Must evaluate to a possible test status indicating the expected + result of the test. The implicit default is PASS or OK when the + field isn't present. + +`disabled` + Any value indicates that the test is disabled. + +`type` + The test type e.g. `testharness`, `reftest`, or `wdspec`. + +`reftype` + The type of comparison for reftests; either `==` or `!=`. + +`refurl` + The reference url for reftests. + +.. _`web-platform-tests testsuite`: https://github.com/w3c/web-platform-tests |
