375543 - Integrate Prototype Test Suite

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[John Resig]

We need to start the process of integrating JavaScript library test suites into the Mozilla test system (most likely via Mochitest).

More information about this initiative can be found here:
http://ejohn.org/blog/future-proofing-javascript-libraries/

and here:
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Add_AJAX_Tests_To_Mozilla

I've completed the first steps of integrating and running Prototype's test suite against Mochitest, the results of which can be found here:
http://ejohn.org/blog/testing-prototype-with-firefox-3/

The only thing that I need to know is a specific directory in which these tests will be located, such that I can build a patch to add Prototype in.

I suspect that this ticket will also encapsulate setting up the groundwork of the framework test suite; but Prototype seems like as good a library as any to begin testing against.

Attachment: Add Prototype and base test libs to the suite.

This is a patch to start the foundation for all JavaScript library test suites (to be located in dom/tests/mochitest/ajax). Additionally, this patch adds the Prototype test suite as its first entry.

A gif that's used in the Prototype test suite. Should be put in the directory: dom/tests/mochitest/ajax/prototype/test/unit/fixtures/

Add Prototype and base test libs to the suite.

This duplicates MochiKit in ajax/lib, but I am OK with that because it will ease integration as we add Every Library Evar.

checked in and passing.

Attachment: Add Line Numbers to Failures

An error recently popped up in a test case - and we found it really hard to debug what was going wrong. This patch adds line numbers to help determine where exactly the error is occurring. (Apply in mozilla/)

I just upstreamed the line number patch:
