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

            Bugzilla URL.  When a testcase writes a line in the format
            <code>BUGNUMBER <i>n</i></code> to <b>STDOUT</b> or <b>STDERR</b>,
            <b>jsDriver.pl</b> interprets <code><i>n</i></code> as a bugnumber
            in the <a href="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org">BugZilla</a> bug
            tracking system.  In the event that a testcase which has specified
            a bugnumber fails, a hyperlink to the BugZilla database
            will be included in the output by prefixing the bugnumber with the
            URL specified here.  By default, URL is assumed to be
            &quot;http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=";.

            Classpath to pass the the Java Virtual Machine.  When running tests
            against the <b>Rhino</b> engine, PATH will be passed in as the value
            to an argument named &quot;-classpath&quot;.  If your particular JVM
            does not support this option, it is recommended you specify your
            class path via an environment setting.  Refer to your JVM
            documentation for more details about CLASSPATH.

            Generate html output to the HTML file named by FILE.  By default,
            a filename will be generated using a combination of the engine type
            and a date/time stamp, in the format:

            Set the location of the Java Virtual Machine to use when running
            tests against the <b>Rhino</b> engine.  This can be used to test
            against multiple JVMs on the same system.

          <dt><b>-k, --confail</b></dt>
          <dd>
            Log failures to the console.  This will show any failures, as they
            occur, on <b>STDERR</b> in addition to creating the HTML results
            file.  This can be useful for times when it may be
            counter-productive to load an HTML version of the results each time
            a test is re-run.

            <br>
          <dt><b>-l FILE ..., --list=FILE ...</b></dt>
          <dd>
            Specify a list of tests to execute.  FILE can be a plain text file
            containing a list of testcases to execute, a subdirectory
            in which to

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

          <dt><b>-L FILE ..., --neglist=FILE ...</b></dt>
          <dd>
            Specify a list of tests to skip.  FILE has the same meaning as in
            the <b>-l</b> option.  This option is evaluated after
            <b>all</b> <b>-l</b> and <b>--list</b> options, allowing a user
            to subtract a single testcase, a directory of testcases, or a
            collection of unrelated testcases from the execution list.

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

          <dd>
            Trace execution of <b>jsDriver.pl</b>.  This option is primarily
            used for debugging of the script itself, but if you are interested in
            seeing the actual command being run, or generally like gobs of
            useless information, you may find it entertaining.

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