The CSS WG previously resolved to merge csswg-test into web-platform-tests. This is your two week (or thereabouts!) warning of the merge. The merge, when it happens, will add around 35,000 new files into web-platform-tests; this is a significant number of new files, including a significant number of new tests (~12k automated), hence any automated import is likely in for an exciting few days. It seems highly likely some of the tests being merged in will be flaky, and this adds considerably more reftests than we've had previously hence any bugs in reftest support are likely to get shown up quickly. For a vague timeline: * This week, get https://github.com/w3c/wpt-tools/pull/180 and any other tools work landed. * Next week, make sure everything is in place for the merge and the merged repo looks good (note there is already a "csswg_test_merged" branch in web-platform-tests: this contains a sample merge; the branch gets non-fast-forwarded semi-frequently to new, more up-to-date or better merges), and make sure tooling for moving issues is working fine. * Monday 27th March, Europe/London afternoon, land the merge on master. The aim is to land the merge near the start of the week (so there's time to deal with any fallout anyone has), and Europe/London afternoon such that everyone I'm aware of who maintains sync scripts is at work. As such, if it doesn't happen by Wednesday afternoon I'll push it to the following week. I'll send email on Friday stating whether or not it is going ahead, and attempt to give 24 hours notice, as well as a final one notifying people of it having happened. The following days are likely to be spent with making sure we have all the pull requests moved over as these likely have to be done manually. As such, I'd massively, massively appreciate if people could attempt to review/land as many pull requests that are currently open on csswg-test in the coming weeks as possible. Your friendly testing elf, gsnedders.
