(re-sending to webkit-dev, since this idea was just mentioned on #webkit) If wishes were fishes, checking layout tests expectations into WebKit would work like so:
* Authors of layout tests never need to submit test expectations with their patches * All new patches are flagged by a Layout Test Expectations Resolver (LaTER from here on). * LaTER is a set of EWS bots (one for each platform). It takes the new patch, applies/builds/runs tests/generates expectations. * Newly generated expectations are compared against existing expectations. A minimal set of changes for each platform is created. * This set of generated expectations is merged with the changes in the original patch, and attached to bug as a new patch, obsoleting the original patch. LaTER knows not to chew on this patch again. * The rest of the process (review/cq/land) is the same as it was before. Thoughts? Comments? More crazy ideas? :DG< _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
