This is the correct way of generating new expected files.

> Issue is When we opened same html file manually in the GtkLauncher we observed that test is failing .

This just means that your change or test case is wrong.

DumpRenderTree does not have the concept of right or wrong: it just
dumps whatever you feed it. You - as the test writer - have to make
sure that what it dumped is correct.

FYI, this is a good resource when creating test cases:
