496846 - JavaScript Tests - run browser tests via file:

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing Graveyard :: Sisyphus, defect)

Attachment: patch

I finally looked into the problem with why the JavaScript Tests can't be run using file:. It appears that when using file: instead of http:; the jsTestDriverBrowserInit() function, which inserts the test scripts via document.write, the first document.written script is ignored which causes failures in cases where the subsuite's shell.js script is required.

For example:

file:///PathToRepo/js/tests/js-test-driver-standards.html?test=e4x%2FExpressions%2F11.2.2.js;language=type;text/javascript

If I insert a blank script prior to the first real script, it works. I tried simple tests cases but could not reproduce.

Blake, before I work around this, would you care to look?
