maintainers, how do you feel about merging iterator helpers tests? https://github.com/tc39/test262/pull/2818
08:49
<ptomato>
I'm OK with it\
16:54
<ljharb>
i'm ok with it too - i can rerun them against my polyfill first, later today
17:22
<shu>
ptomato: i would prefer it to be merged
17:23
<shu>
question for shu / other implementers: right now the TypedArray tests are almost all generic across all of the TypedArray types, including stuff like Atomics which are tested against every TA type. if I just add Float16Array to that list it's going to cause every one of those tests to fail. that seems undesirable for implementers. do you have thoughts?
causing every one of those tests to fail is undesirable because the granularity of V8's runner, and i suspect most engines' runners, isn't at that level. if we update expectations to FAIL then we're not going to detect regressions in other TAs until F16Arrays land
17:23
<ptomato>
oh yeah I didn't mean there's any question about it, but I meant more like have folks done all the reviews they wanted
17:23
<shu>
but it sounds like you settled on a more granular approach anyways?
17:23
<shu>
ptomato: oh yes, V8 has
17:25
<shu>
bakkot: ideally we keep test granularity at file level and avoid having polymorphic tests; i know test262 already has capability to generate tests from sources
17:27
<bakkot>
yeah the conditional push will at least prevent failures
17:27
<bakkot>
in theory
17:27
<bakkot>
you can run https://github.com/tc39/test262/pull/3849 if you want to be sure
17:27
<bakkot>
(which does not include any Float16Array-specific tests yet)
17:28
<bakkot>
agreed that generating these from templates would be better but that's a lot of work
17:28
<bakkot>
and gpt is not yet quite good enough to do that for me
17:28
<bakkot>
maybe next year
17:30
<shu>
yeah conditional push sgtm
