Details

Subdirectories of tests were annotated in bug 1338320, but subdirectories under meta are not annotated.

Blocks: 1529136, 1328351

James, currently all files under "meta" have "Testing::web-platform-tests" as bug component (https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/6d0ba065e3d41822337c708c8c0aca334ddd9218/testing/web-platform/moz.build#30).
Should we instead have different bug components for each subdirectory, like we have for directories under "tests"?

E.g. "tests/FileAPI/** is linked to "Core::DOM: File". Should "meta/FileAPI/**" be linked to "Core::DOM: File" too, or should it stay linked to "Testing::web-platform-tests"?

I'm not sure. Typically these files don't really have bugs, as such, so I don't know what difference it would make. Are these specific usecases you have where the change would be an improvement?

Flags: needinfo?(james)

I need correct data for correlations such as: when modifying a file in component A, tests in component B are modified (and so are affected). I guess these files do not exactly count as tests, but a developer changing something in a component which causes the test to start having a different result can be considered as more or less the same concept.
