zakim, this is htmlt
15:02:17 [Zakim]
sorry, krisk, I do not see a conference named 'htmlt' in progress or scheduled at this time
15:03:49 [krisk]
Looks like this will be all on IRC
15:04:26 [krisk]
Normal given the past meetings...
15:04:46 [krisk]
Agenda http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-testsuite/2011Sep/0001.html
15:05:48 [krisk]
Looks like a light meeting agenda...
15:06:01 [krisk]
Item #1 Check for and bugs on approved tests
15:06:22 [krisk]
Bug #12896 (old)
15:06:51 [krisk]
I recall that we were going to have plh come back to confirm that this is true
15:07:18 [krisk]
I'll send this out in the meeting notes since it's been a little while
15:07:56 [krisk]
I presume that Ms2ger believes that this is a valid bug since he opened the bug
15:08:32 [krisk]
If anyone else has feedback please respond either to the IRC, Meeting notes or in the bug itself
15:09:05 [krisk]
I'll add this to the next meeting to help drive this bug to closure
15:09:14 [Ms2ger]
Actually
15:09:41 [Ms2ger]
getElementsByClassName is now defined in DOM Core instead of HTML
15:10:13 [Ms2ger]
So I'll move these tests to the WebApps repo
15:10:43 [krisk]
You should ping the Opera folks since the wrote most of the tests
15:11:04 [Ms2ger]
jgraham, ^
15:11:57 [krisk]
IMHO standard practice is to remove tests if they are no longer normative
15:12:23 [krisk]
Bug #13875
15:13:25 [krisk]
Ms2ger could you send something to the list or add to the bug maybe a use case using httpd.js vs php?
15:13:49 [Ms2ger]
Haven't had time to spend on that yet
15:14:19 [krisk]
Ok
15:20:53 [krisk]
Looks like you fixed/updated some canvas tests
15:21:01 [krisk]
(you meaning ms2ger)
15:21:08 [Ms2ger]
I did
15:22:14 [krisk]
The TYPE_MISMATCH_ERR should be noted
15:22:25 [krisk]
Do you want to add more to the IRC on these changes?
15:22:51 [Ms2ger]
No
15:25:52 [krisk]
Any reason?
15:26:20 [krisk]
The reason I ask is that this error case had really good browser interop (chrome, IE, Firefox, Opera)
15:26:30 [Ms2ger]
Oh
15:27:00 [krisk]
No this is not the case...the IDL spec is leading - which seems odd
15:27:28 [krisk]
It would be alot easier to have the IDL spec just match all the browsers and canvas content on the web
15:28:40 [Ms2ger]
It doesn't really matter which exception is thrown, IMO
15:28:51 [Ms2ger]
Might as well pick a logical one
15:31:39 [krisk]
e.code == 17 (TYPE_MISMATCH_ERR) seems just fine
15:33:05 [Ms2ger]
Anyway, if you think it's an issue, it's a spec issue
15:34:08 [krisk]
If we just care that an assert is thrown then the HTML test should be updated as such
15:34:37 [krisk]
Seems like it would be more valid to have some IDL cases in webapps rather then trying to test the web IDL spec via HTML tests
15:35:03 [Ms2ger]
WebIDL is a normative dependency for HTML, so we should test the implications of that
15:37:23 [krisk]
That is fine just ned to call this out - better to be clear that this is a web IDL test case and not a HTML test case
15:37:37 [Ms2ger]
It is an HTML test case
15:37:49 [Ms2ger]
It is testing an interface defined in HTML
15:38:33 [krisk]
Still seems like a spec bug in IDL
15:39:37 [Ms2ger]
I think TypeError makes more sense when you pass a value that doesn't match the type of the parameter, but please file a bug on WebIDL
15:40:42 [krisk]
Moving on Agenda Item #2 new test submissions
15:43:18 [krisk]
Any comments on test submission that people may want to be informed of?
15:45:12 [Ms2ger]
Nothing in particular
15:45:28 [krisk]
OK - people can always look at the 'shortlog' http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/html/shortlog
15:46:03 [krisk]
Thats the end of the agenda
15:46:08 [krisk]
shall we adjourn?
15:46:18 [Ms2ger]
OK
15:47:38 [krisk]
RRSAgent, make logs public
15:47:46 [krisk]
rrsagent, generate minutes
15:47:46 [RRSAgent]
I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2011/09/06-htmlt-minutes.html krisk
15:53:10 [jgraham]
Oops
15:53:15 [jgraham]
Forgot about this...
15:53:59 [Ms2ger]
While you're here, you can move these getElementsByClassName tests: )
15:54:35 [jgraham]
Or I could pretend that I didn't hear you
15:57:35 [Ms2ger]
This is IRC, sticking fingers in your ears won't help :)
16:14:45 [jgraham]
It's OK I stuck them in my eyes too
17:24:25 [Ms2ger]
