meta charset rewrite. Implements https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/6962 . Improves performance when <meta charset> occurs in head but after the first kilobyte and aligns behavior better with WebKit and Blink. The main change is to avoid reloads when meta appears within head but after the first kilobyte. Prior to this change, Gecko reloaded in that case (in compliance with the spec!) even though WebKit and Blink did not. Differences from WebKit and Blink: * WebKit and Blink honor <meta charset> in <noscript>. This implementation does not. * WebKit and Blink look for meta as if the tree builder was unaware of foreign content. This implementation is foreign content-aware. This makes a difference for CDATA sections that contain a > before the meta as well as style and script elements within foreign content. This could happen if the CDATA section that has mysteriously been introduced around a what looks like a meta tag also contains another prior tag-looking run of text. * This implementation processes rel=preload and speculative loads that are seen before <meta charset> has been seen. WebKit and Blink instead first look for the meta and rewind before starting speculative parsing. * Unlike WebKit, if there is neither an honored meta nor syntax resembling an XML declaration, detection from content takes place (as in Blink). * Unlike Blink, if there is neither an honored meta nor syntax resembling an XML declaration, the detection from content is not dependent of network buffer boundaries. * Unlike Blink, detection from content can trigger a reload at the end of the stream if the guess made at that point differs from the first guess. (See below for the definition of the input to the first guess.) Differences from the old spec and Gecko previously: * Meta inside script and RCDATA elements is no longer honored. * Late meta is now ignored and no longer triggers a reload. * Later meta counts as early enough meta: In addition to the previous meta within the first 1024 bytes, now a meta that started within the first 1024 bytes counts as early enough. Additionally, if by then there hasn't been a template start tag and head hasn't ended, meta occurring before the earlier of the end of the head or a template start tag counts as early enough. * Meta now counts as not-late even if the encoding label has numeric character reference escapes. * Syntax resembling an XML declaration longer than a kilobyte is honored if there is no honored meta. * If there is neither an honored meta nor syntax resembling an XML declaration, the initial chardetng scan is potentially longer than before: the first 1024 bytes, the token spanning the 1024-byte boundary if there is such a token, and, if by then head hasn't ended and there hasn't been a template start tag until the end of the template start tag or the end of the token that causes head to end, ever comes first. However, if the token implying the end of the head is a text token, bytes only to the end of the previous non-text token is considered. (This definition avoids depending on network buffer boundaries.) * XML View Source now uses the code for syntax resembling an XML declaration instead of expat for extracting the internal encoding label. Reftest are added as both WPT and Gecko reftests in order to test both http: and file: URL scenarios. The Gecko tests retain the WPT <link> tags in order to use the exact same bytes. An encoding declaration has been added to a number of old tests that didn't intend to test the new speculation behavior especially in the context of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1727750 .

The web-platform-tests Project is a cross-browser test suite for the Web-platform stack. Writing tests in a way that allows them to be run in all browsers gives browser projects confidence that they are shipping software that is compatible with other implementations, and that later implementations will be compatible with their implementations. This in turn gives Web authors/developers confidence that they can actually rely on the Web platform to deliver on the promise of working across browsers and devices without needing extra layers of abstraction to paper over the gaps left by specification editors and implementors.
The most important sources of information and activity are:
wpt:matrix.org
matrix channel; includes participants located around the world, but busiest during the European working day.If you'd like clarification about anything, don't hesitate to ask in the chat room or on the mailing list.

Note: because of the frequent creation and deletion of branches in this repo, it is recommended to “prune” stale branches when fetching updates, i.e. use git pull --prune
(or git fetch -p && git merge
).
See the documentation website and in particular the system setup for running tests locally.
The wpt
command provides a frontend to a variety of tools for working with and running web-platform-tests. Some of the most useful commands are:
wpt serve
- For starting the wpt http serverwpt run
- For running tests in a browserwpt lint
- For running the lint against all testswpt manifest
- For updating or generating a MANIFEST.json
test manifestwpt install
- For installing the latest release of a browser or webdriver server on the local machine.wpt serve-wave
- For starting the wpt http server and the WAVE test runner. For more details on how to use the WAVE test runner see the documentation.On Windows wpt
commands must be prefixed with python
or the path to the python binary (if python
is not in your %PATH%
).
python wpt [command]
Alternatively, you may also use Bash on Ubuntu on Windows in the Windows 10 Anniversary Update build, then access your windows partition from there to launch wpt
commands.
Please make sure git and your text editor do not automatically convert line endings, as it will cause lint errors. For git, please set git config core.autocrlf false
in your working tree.
The master branch is automatically synced to wpt.live and w3c-test.org.
Save the Web, Write Some Tests!
Absolutely everyone is welcome to contribute to test development. No test is too small or too simple, especially if it corresponds to something for which you've noted an interoperability bug in a browser.
The way to contribute is just as usual:
git checkout -b topic
../wpt lint
as described above.If you spot an issue with a test and are not comfortable providing a pull request per above to fix it, please file a new issue. Thank you!
