[webkit-help] [Webkit help] - need help running the tests on Windows

[Sravan]

Hi Narayana,

The error is because you are running the script from .svn directory. No
scripts will run from that directory, as it messes up with SCM stuff.

I do not know why you are running the tests from .svn folder, but it is ok
to run tests from WebKit root directory(C:\cygwin\home\tester\WebKit\ in
your case) and you dont have to prefix "python", you can simply run


./Tools/Scripts/new-run-webkit-tests (along with some options like --debug
--no-build), i suggest to use --no-build as it will re-build full webkit
from cygwin cmd prompt and is a waste of time.

Also as Roben suggested though new-run-webkit-tests is not supported on
windows, it still picks up old-run-webkit-tests (the script writer has made
it seamless to user). so u can safely use new-run-webkit-tests on windows.


-Sravan.
