The parsers defined here are recursive decent parsers, meaning they heavily rely on recursion
which ends up being problematic for the stack size. For running tests it is recommended to use
the environment variable RUST_MIN_STACK set to 9999999 (7 nines). Otherwise you will probably
encounter the error:
thread '<test-name>' has overflowed its stack
fatal runtime error: stack overflow
error: test failed, to rerun pass `--test <test>`
Caused by:
process didn't exit successfully: `<path-to-test>-<test-sha>` (signal: 6, SIGABRT: process abort signal)See this issue for more details
There are a few sets of JavaScript files that are required to run the tests in this repository.
This set can be easily acquired by running npm install in the root of this project.
An additional test is also available behind a feature flag moz_central that requires the JIT Test files from the FireFox repository, the expectation is that these will exist in the folder moz-central in the root of this project. To get these files you can either manually download and unzip them by following this link or you can execute the following command.
curl https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/archive/tip.zip/js/src/jit-test/tests/ --output moz-central.zip
unzip -q moz-central.zip -d moz-centralTo run these tests simply execute the following command.
cargo test --features moz_central -- moz_central
