Bug 63494

It appears that diffs.html and diff.png aren't generated when tests fail due to checksum differences.

At this point I'm pretty certain this is a bug in new results.html page.

On further investigation (e.g., fast/box-shadow/basic-shadows.html), we're getting cases where the checksums don't match but the images do match, as reported by ImageDiff. So, no -diff files will be created. However, the test is still reported as failing. I think the json results generator doesn't know how to distinguish the different kinds of failures, and so it reports the generic Image failure. We might need to add another flag to the test_dict in manager.py: summarize_results() to handle this case. Once again, the attempt to map the broader set of TestFailures onto the smaller set of expectation types might be hurting us.

Is someone stepping up to own this issue. Ojan?

(In reply to comment #3) > On further investigation (e.g., fast/box-shadow/basic-shadows.html), we're getting cases where the checksums don't match but the images do match, as reported by ImageDiff. Hm. That should not happen now that checksums are embedded in pngs! > So, no -diff files will be created. However, the test is still reported as failing.

The right solution IMO, is to make the results types serialized to the JSON file have a one-to-one mapping with the TestFailure types. That would also help cleanup code.

I think that that's a bug in ImageDiff that should be fixed, but perhaps that is debatable. Regardless, that is probably what is causing this. > The right solution IMO, is to make the results types serialized to the JSON file have a one-to-one mapping with the TestFailure types. That would also help cleanup code. That would probably work, and certainly simplify some things.

Ojan, if you're not going to fix your regression, should we roll out your patch?

Hum... That patch is from 04/19/2011 14:18:52 (2 months ago). :(

Reading this more carefully, this doesn't need to block Bug 34984. This appears to happen only in the case were the images differ bit-by-bit but ImageDiff says they match, which should be rare.

(In reply to comment #9) > Reading this more carefully, this doesn't need to block Bug 34984. This appears to happen only in the case were the images differ bit-by-bit but ImageDiff says they match, which should be rare. It happens on Mac port all the time because it has the default non-zero tolerance.

So it should block the bug 34984.

I see. Ok. Thanks.

Looks plausible to me also. I have only skimmed the changes and need to review it more carefully as well Adding Tom Hudson to this since this is related to some work he was doing that would allow us to return more metrics than just true/false for the diff, so that we could sort results by the degree and type of differences. Tom, this patch has much if not all of the restructuring we'd probably want for the things you were working on ...

This is some fake thing for testing something ridiculous. I think it just has to return something that's not falsy.

The diffs don't get created in that case, which is the whole problem.

Comment on attachment 99340 [details] Patch OK.

Committed r90138: <http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/90138>

Comment on attachment 99340 [details] Patch Patch looks generally good. Lots of minor stuff that could be changed, but most if not all of it could be done in a follow-on patch. The only major thing I don't like is hanging the image_diff off of the driver_output. I would probably have R-'ed the patch if I thought that fixing that wouldn't complicate the patch even more, so hopefully we can clean that up soon rather than forget about it. I don't think I saw anything that looked actually incorrect in the sense that it would break things. > Tools/ChangeLog:18 > + It would've been nice to do these two things in two different patches, since they're both nontrivial, but I'm not going to lose a lot of sleep over it. > Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/layout_tests/run_webkit_tests_integrationtest.py:268 > + self.assertEqual(regular_output.get(), [u'failures/expected/checksum.html\n\n']) Both you and Eric seem to be unwrapping lines as you go along in these patches, as well as making actual changes. Since I've had this feedback on my patches, I'll pass it along: it would be nice if you separated out the formatting changes from the semantic changes into different patches.

A port implementation that didn't get updated and returned False to indicate that there was a image diff would incorrectly pass here. > > Why is that an incorrect pass? Returning anything falsy is probably ok. > The point is that by testing against False, you are missing cases where the routine returns False instead of a string or None (certainly a bug), and missing cases where it's returning a diff of '' instead of None (probalby a bug). > > > Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/layout_tests/port/test.py:148 > > > + actual_checksum='text-image-checksum_fail-checksum') > > > > See comment way earlier ... this should be renamed if it no longer fails. > > > > > Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/layout_tests/port/webkit.py:142 > > > + # Maybe we should throw an exception? > > > > Obviously, the tests expect you return that there was no diff. I don't remember why I thought this was acceptable or correct, unfortunately :( Maybe there's a comment in the patch that added them? > > The problem is that they're returning that there is a diff (which makes very little sense)! > If one file exists and is a valid image, and the other exists but is empty (what this branch is testing), I would say that that is a (sensible) diff. > > > Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/layout_tests/port/webkit.py:190 > > > + return output > > > > The re-ordering of these branches looks correct, but it would be nice if we had tests that tested these cases one way or another to know that we were fixing and not introducing bugs.

Well, you clearly changed the logic of the code, and that logic should be visibly (testably) different, even if current tests don't happen to illustrate that. It might be nice to have such tests, but I don't think it's super important (hence the pony comment).
