     44       <dd>
     45         <b>jsDriver.pl</b> is normally used to run a series of tests against
     46         one of the JavaScript shells.  These tests are expected to be laid out
     47         in a directory structure exactly three levels deep.  The first level
     48         is considered the <b>root</b> of the tests, subdirectories under the
     49         <b>root</b> represent <b>Test Suites</b> and generally mark broad
     50         categories such as <i>ECMA Level 1</i> or <i>Live Connect 3</i>.  Under the
     51         <b>Test Suites</b> are the <b>Test Categories</b>, which divide the 
     52         <b>Test Suite</b> into smaller categories, such as <i>Execution Contexts</i>
     53         or <i>Lexical Rules</i>.  Testcases are located under the
     54         <B>Test Categories</b> as normal JavaScript (*.js) files.  
     55         <p>
     56           If a file named <b>shell.js</b> exists in either the
     57           <b>Test Suite</b> or the <b>Test Category</b> directory, it is
     58           loaded into the shell before the testcase.  If <b>shell.js</b>
     59           exists in both directories, the version in the <b>Test Suite</b>
     60           directory is loaded <i>first</i>, giving the version associated with
     61           the <b>Test Category</b> the ability to override functions previously
     62           declared.  You can use this to
     63           create functions and variables common to an entire suite or category.
     64         <p>
     65           Testcases can report failures back to <b>jsDriver.pl</b> in one of
     66           two ways.  The most common is to write a line of text containing
     67           the word <code>FAILED!</code> to <b>STDOUT</b> or <b>STDERR</b>.
     68           When the engine encounters a matching line, the test is marked as
     69           failed, and any line containing <code>FAILED!</code> is displayed in
     70           the failure report.  The second way a test case can report failure is
     71           to return an unexpected exit code.  By default, <b>jsDriver.pl</b>
     72           expects all test cases to return exit code 0, although a test
     73           can output a line containing <code>EXPECT EXIT <i>n</i></code> where
     74           <i>n</i> is the exit code the driver should expect to see.  Testcases
     75           can return a nonzero exit code by calling the shell function
     76           <code>quit(<i>n</i>)</code> where <code><i>n</i></code> is the
     77           code to exit with.  The various JavaScript shells report
     78           non-zero exit codes under the following conditions:

    138             <b>jsDriver.pl</b> interprets <code><i>n</i></code> as a bugnumber

    140             tracking system.  In the event that a testcase which has specified
    141             a bugnumber fails, a hyperlink to the BugZilla database
    142             will be included in the output by prefixing the bugnumber with the

    244             specifiers may follow this option.  The driver uses the fact that a
    245             valid testcase should be a file ending in .js to make the distinction
    246             between a file containing a list of tests and an actual testcase.

    267             the automatic shell location <b>jsDriver.pl</b> performs based on
    268             you OS and engine type.  For Non <b>Rhino</b> engines, this 
    269             includes the name of the executable as well as the path.  In
    270             <b>Rhino</b>, this path will be appended to your 
    271             <a href="#classpath">CLASSPATH</a>.  For the 
    272             <b>SpiderMonkey</b> shells, this value defaults to
    273             ../src/&lt;Platform-and-buildtype-specific-directory&gt;/[js|jsshell],
    274             for the
    275             <b>LiveConnect</b> shells,
    276             ../src/liveconnect/src/&lt;Platform-and-buildtype-specific-directory&gt;/lschell
    277             and for the <b>xpcshell</b> the default is the value of your 
    278             <code>MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME</code> environment variable.  There is no
    279             default (as it is usually not needed) for the <b>Rhino</b> shell.

    285             used for debugging of the script itself, but if you are interested in

    287             useless information, you may find it entertaining.

    318           <code>perl jsDriver.pl -e smdebug -L lc*</code><br>
    319           Executes all tests EXCEPT the liveconnect tests against the
    320           SpiderMonkey debug shell, writing the results
    321           to the default result file.  (NOTE: Unix shells take care of wildcard
    322           expansion, turning <code>lc*</code> into <code>lc2 lc3</code>.  Under
    323           a DOS shell, you must explicitly list the directories.)
    324         <p>
    325           <code>perl jsDriver.pl -e rhino -L rhino-n.tests</code><br>
    326           Executes all tests EXCEPT those listed in the
    327           <code>rhino-n.tests</code> file.
    328         <p>
    329           <code>perl -I/home/rginda/perl/lib/ jsDriver.pl -e lcopt -l lc2
    330             lc3 -f lcresults.html -k</code><br>
    331           Executes ONLY the tests under the <code>lc2</code> and <code>lc3</code>
    332           directories against the LiveConnect shell.  Results will be written to
    333           the file <code>lcresults.html</code> <b>AND</b> the console.  The 
    334           <code>-I</code> option tells perl to look for modules in the
    335           <code>/home/rginda/perl/lib</code> directory (in addition to the
    336           usual places), useful if you do not have root access to install new
    337           modules on the system.
