797645 - About 0.8% of Mochitest-4's log is test_long_doc.html

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 797827

(Core :: Internationalization, defect)

Description

[Andrew McCreight [:mccr8]]

About 436KB of the M4 log is the output for test_long_doc.html, out of a total of around 49MB for the entire log.  That doesn't sound like a huge amount, but M4 apparently regularly hits the max limit for a log, which is 50MB. Another half meg of overhead would probably be useful.

The test does something like this:
  is(outString, inString, "content decoded as " + frame);

outString and inString are very long, so it makes the log very long. Maybe they could be compared separately instead of being used as "is" arguments to avoid this?

That's easy enough to do, but I proposed in bug 797827 making is() stop outputting the expected and actual results of all passing tests, which would make this unnecessary.

Oh, nice!  That's much better.
