As you say, to remain viable, it
must be done quickly. From previous experience, I suggest that there's
exactly one way to get quick universal deployment: add a test to
test262 that fails when a browser's WindowProxy object violates this
normative part of the ES5 spec.
I feel such a test would rather belong to the HTML DOM. But either way, I
agree.
The spec that it violates is ES5.1. Therefore it will be
uncontroversial to put such tests into test262.
I have to strongly disagree here. By this argument, we could put in a
test for any JS extension in the world that potentially violates
proper ES semantics. I think test262 should test ECMA-262, nothing
else.
In particular, consider that test262 currently is a headless test,
i.e. no browser needed, a shell like d8 or jsc is enough to run it.
Putting in browser-specific tests would put a _huge_ burden on all
kinds of automated testing environments running this suite.
I still believe the tests belong to HTML DOM, but it wouldn't be absurd
to test this inside of test262.
The invariants are an ES5 device. I think it makes sense for ES5 to say
"we noticed that some platforms were defining host objects not
respecting the invariants; here is how they were wrong". The invariants
are a not-well-known and yet normative part of the spec. Offering some
guidance in test262 on this part would be good I think.
I would organize things the following way: inside of the /test/suite
directory
bestPractice/
ch06/
..
ch15/
intl402/
platformSpecific/
readme (explains why this directory is here and what the different
subdirectories are for)
webBrowser/
readme (to explain how to run each test)
test1
...
testn
And if different platforms use ES5, but do not conform, platformSpecific
subdirectories can be added to test the non-conforming host objects on
the different platforms.
Each platform test can contain any sort of file, not just JS. For
instance, in the case being discussed, it would make sense to create
several HTML files some defining iframes, other defining iframe contents.
d8 or jsc would just have to skip the "platformSpecific" directory. I
think it's a decent trade-off to explain how invariants should work on
self-objects without polluting the test suite.
