1535378 - Write tests for serialization of principals

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Security, enhancement, P2)

Description

[Jonathan Kingston [:jkt] he/him]

Currently we don't have any tests that explicitly test just the serialization and deserialization of principals (there is a Talos tests however as it currently stands we will fall back to null principals here anyway).

The idea is to:

1. Create some manual principals and check that they output the correct current version of the principal.
2. Take some real serialized principals and check all the properties are deserialized correctly.

Changing the serialization:

1. tests will need to be rewritten when the shape of serialization happens.
2. tests should be resilient to the changes in the serialization.
