(with apologies to the KLF…)

I saw this note on Schrep’s blog this afternoon and remembered, that last week was actually kind of a milestone for me. With dbaron’s help. I made my way onto a 4-digit bug – the venerable #3247 – counters in css-generated content.

David Baron wrote the original tests (which you can see at http://dbaron.org/css2.1/tests/imported-20050702/ if you’re so-inclined). I wrote a little python to convert the tests into something that could be run with reftest a few months ago. I was looking for something to use with it and they seemed like a worthy candidate.

Fast-forward to last week, and TimR asked me about those tests I’d converted. So, I dug ‘em out, popped them on my people account and forwarded a note to David. After some cleanup (there were a couple of errors in there that my conversion conveniently included for us), they are now living happily at in http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/layout/reftests/counters/. You can see their results running on every checkin on the Firefox Tinderbox page.

PS, kudos to Kray2, Nickolay, Callek and others for the “Creating Reftest-based unit tests” page on MDC.
