            Bug ID: 218287
           Summary: We have too many ways of overriding preferences in
                    LayoutTests
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: sam at webkit.org

We have too many ways of overriding preferences in LayoutTests - test header commands, internals.settings, testRunner.overridePreference, and testRunner specific functions.

We should standardize on just test header commands for static configuration (as this is the only method that allows the preference to be set prior to a test run) and internals.settings as this is completely generated and allows dynamic setting of preferences.
