I'm blocked in testing by bug #50478 - will get back here as soon as that one is fixed

Patch 6 of 6:
See the attached `0006_geturl-add-weird-target-tests.patch`.

This patch adds automated checks non-FSCommand usage of `getURL()` and `MovieClip.getURL()` when encountered with weird target parameter like empty "", `null`, and `undefined` to Gnash testsuite; according to reference behavior listed on bug #50393 comment 1.

Implementation notes:

  • This test is based on MakeSWF, and run under shell-based container emulation environment, with external termination (much like the `hostcmd` test).
  • This test runs on SWF version 4 to 8 as `getURL()` is available since Flash 4 onward- according to Macromedia's documentation.
  • I implemented this as a separate test runner from `hostcmd` as it cannot be run under the same HTML-mode container.
  • There's no XFAILED check, as problems are already fixed by earlier patches.


This patch does not provide HTML-based test runner, as it is beyond limit of what simple semi-automated HTML test page could do. Also, implementing the test even in semi-automated fashion would require another exotic Flash feature (FlashVars), which must be tested first.

Patch 5 of 6:
See the attached `0005_hostcmd-test-show-player-output.patch`.

Current container-emulated `hostcmd` test runner redirected player output away to a log file and discarded it without ever printing it out to the main test log.

This patch makes the test runner print out the Gnash-side player output, enabling user to verify/debug it from `testrun.log`; like the original `extcomm` test do.

Patch 4 of 6:
See the attached `0004_fscommand-add-function-parameter-tests.patch`.

Currently, `hostcmd` FSCommand test in Gnash testsuite does not cover function-type parameter, this patch adds it in (for both container-emulated mode and HTML mode).

Patch 3 of 6:
See the attached `0003_correct-builtin-geturl-undefined-null-target.patch`.

Current Gnash treats `undefined` and `null` target parameter in built-in `getURL()` function as if they were empty string.

Flash Player, other the other hand, uses (SWF version-specific) string representation of the parameter as target. This behavior is the same in both normal and FSCommand usage.

This patch fixes Gnash implementation by replacing the special case treatment with SWF version-specific string conversion.

Corresponding 4 XFAILED check in Gnash testsuite are changed to PASSED in this patch; resulting in 16 more PASSED checks total when counted all SWF version and test method. (8 more PASSED in automated run, 8 more PASSED in browser-based run)

Side note (for the record):
MakeSWF processes `getURL("loaded.html")` into ActionGetURL2 instruction that looks more or less like `getURL("loaded.html","")`. Macromedia Flash MX 2004 also processes the call into a similar statement, though it uses an old-school ActionGetURL instead of ActionGetURL2.

Patch 2 of 6:
See the attached `0002_correct-movieclip-geturl-undefined-target.patch`.

This patch makes Gnash's implementation of `MovieClip.getURL()` treat `undefined` target parameter as if it was an empty string; like Flash Player always does, no matter of SWF version.

Corresponding 2 XFAILED checks in Gnash testsuite are changed to PASSED in this patch; resulting in more 8 PASSED checks total when counted all SWF version and test method. (4 more PASSED in automated run, and 4 more PASSED in browser-based run)

This patch series attempts to fix bug #50393 (undefined/null getURL()/MovieClip.getURL() target problem) and few issues around them.

Patch 1 of 6:
See the attached `0001_add-builtin-fscommand-parameter-tests.patch`.

This patch adds automated checks on built-in `getURL()`-based FSCommand usage with mutltiple kind of call name and parameters to Gnash testsuite. These checks are added into MakeSWF-based `hostcmd` test (in both container-emulated and HTML mode).

Like the existing checks, they run on SWF version 5 to 8 (no logic for SWF4 yet), non-predefined FSCommand(s) are used for implementation simplicity, and XFAILED checks are used when Gnash's behavior deviates from Flash Player.
