Hello, My message here is mostly a wiki-documentation topic. <html class="reftest-wait"> used to be the way tests were coded in order for them to wait before comparing with a reference. http://test.csswg.org/shepherd/search/testcase/spec/css21/content/class%3D%22reftest-wait%22/ Now, we are supposed to use <meta name="timeout" content="long"> or <meta name="timeout" content="normal"> to achieve, to create such wait. Is my assumption/supposition correct here? Gérard - - - - - - - - Harness Timeout http://testthewebforward.org/docs/testharness-library.html#harness-timeout [ The overall harness admits two timeout values "normal" (the default) and "long", used for tests which have an unusually long runtime. After the timeout is reached, the harness will stop waiting for further async tests to complete. By default the timeouts are set to 10s and 60s, respectively, but may be changed when the test is run on hardware with different performance characteristics to a common desktop computer. In order to opt-in to the longer test timeout, the test must specify a meta element: <meta name="timeout" content="long"> Occasionally tests may have a race between the harness timing out and a particular test failing; typically when the test waits for some event that never occurs. In this case it is possible to use test.force_timeout() in place of assert_unreached(), to immediately fail the test but with a status of TIMEOUT. This should only be used as a last resort when it is not possible to make the test reliable in some other way. ] Harness Timeout http://testthewebforward.org/docs/testharness-library.html#harness-timeout -- Test Format Guidelines http://testthewebforward.org/docs/test-format-guidelines.html Test Style Guidelines http://testthewebforward.org/docs/test-style-guidelines.html Test Templates http://testthewebforward.org/docs/test-templates.html CSS Naming Guidelines http://testthewebforward.org/docs/css-naming.html Test Review Checklist http://testthewebforward.org/docs/review-checklist.html CSS Metadata http://testthewebforward.org/docs/css-metadata.html
