Disable test(s) relying on Java applets on BrowserStack

[mgol]

Per our IRC conversation - from time to time BrowserStack has an out-of-date Java which causes the test run to hang, causing failures for the whole module that uses it. It seems it's just the jQuery.acceptData test:

jquery/test/unit/data.js

Lines 136 to 162 in d39fef8

	test("jQuery.acceptData", function() {
	expect( 11 );
	var flash, applet;
	ok( jQuery.acceptData( document ), "document" );
	ok( jQuery.acceptData( document.documentElement ), "documentElement" );
	ok( jQuery.acceptData( {} ), "object" );
	ok( !jQuery.acceptData( document.createElement( "embed" ) ), "embed" );
	ok( !jQuery.acceptData( document.createElement( "applet" ) ), "applet" );
	flash = document.createElement( "object" );
	flash.setAttribute( "classid", "clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" );
	ok( jQuery.acceptData( flash ), "flash" );
	applet = document.createElement( "object" );
	applet.setAttribute( "classid", "clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93" );
	ok( !jQuery.acceptData( applet ), "applet" );
	ok( !jQuery.acceptData( document.createComment( "" ) ), "comment" );
	ok( !jQuery.acceptData( document.createTextNode( "" ) ), "text" );
	ok( !jQuery.acceptData( document.createDocumentFragment() ), "documentFragment" );
	ok( jQuery.acceptData(
	jQuery( "#form" ).append( "<input id='nodeType'/><input id='nodeName'/>" )[ 0 ] ),
	"form with aliased DOM properties" );
	});

This seems to matter for IE8 only, the master branch doesn't have any special logic for classid handling. It seems there's a hight chance someone from the team will run the test suite on IE8 manually at least once in a while which would catch potential problems; we should disable this test just on BrowserStack then.

As @jzaefferer mentioned, the whole test doesn't need to be dropped, just the classid part.

Looking at the source (and wondering why it's in two places 😕), I think it's important for the noData part of that test to check three things:

• no data for applet and/or embed
• data for Flash object
• no data for non-Flash object

So we don't need an applet or applet object, but we do need a non-Flash object—maybe PDF (clsid:CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000)? It seems to work on at least IE7-9, Android 2.3, iOS 5.1, and modern Chrome and Firefox.

Seems we didn't achieve the intended result... Reopening.

The following code triggers the dialog:

jQuery.acceptData( document.createElement( "applet" ) );

see

jquery/test/unit/data.js

Line 776 in 0065e1f

ok( jQuery.acceptData( document.createElement( "applet" ) ), "applet" );
