Hi,
I'm planning to participate in Google Summer of Code this year. I was thinking about working on recently added jscript.dll implementation. Its engine looks almost complete, but I can see that there are many unimplemented APIs. That's what I'd like to improve.
I've already talked about this idea with Jacek, who has written jscript.dll, and he says that he likes it.
I was looking for pages that intensively use JavaScript as well as simple real life test cases. My goals would be, in order:
- Look at Wine jscript.dll related bugs. These would be: 15432, 15582, 16208, 16594 and 17152. I'm not sure if they are JScript or MSHTML bugs yet as they require deeper analyze. I will fix their JScript part of problem.
- Fix W3School (http://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp) JavaScript examples. These seem to be a nice tests for me. They test commonly used APIs in real life scenarios. I believe that if these tests work, most web sides should work as well.
- Test complex web pages Pages like GMail or Google Office would be really cool to have working with our JavaScript. Unfortunately I'm afraid that it may be too much work for SoC to fix them. I'd like to do some testing and find some complex web pages that I could use as tests.
If someone has any more ideas about tests I'm open for suggestions.
For testing JavaScript on web pages I'm planning to use IE working on Wine with built-in jscript.dll. This way I will be able to test jscript.dll on web pages that is currently impossible to do with Wine MSHTML and iexplore.exe.
What do you think about this idea?
Thanks, Piotr Caban
