This repository contains implementation-independent test for CSS parsers, based on the 2013 draft of the CSS Syntax Level 3 specification.

The upstream repository for these tests is at https://github.com/SimonSapin/css-parsing-tests

The recommended way to use these tests in an implementation is to import them with git-subtree.

To import the first time to a ./css-parsing-tests sub-directory, run this from the top-level of a git repository:

git subtree add -P css-parsing-tests https://github.com/SimonSapin/css-parsing-tests.git master

Later, to merge changes made in the upstream repository, run:

git subtree pull -P css-parsing-tests https://github.com/SimonSapin/css-parsing-tests.git master

AST nodes (the results of parsing) are represented in JSON as follow. This representation was chosen to be compact (and thus less annoying to write by hand) while staying unambiguous. For example, the difference between @import and @import is not lost: they are represented as ["at-keyword", "import"] and ["ident", "@import"], respectively.

<ident>

Array of length 2: the string "ident", and the value as a string.

<at-keyword>

Array of length 2: the string "at-keyword", and the value as a string.

<hash>

Array of length 3: the string "hash", the value as a string, and the type as the string "id" or "unrestricted".

<string>

Array of length 2: the string "string", and the value as a string.

<bad-string>

Array of length 1: the string "bad-string".

<url>

Array of length 2: the string "url", and the value as a string.

<bad-url>

Array of length 1: the string "bad-url".

<delim>

The value as a one-character string.

<number>

Array of length 4: the string "number", the representation as a string, the value as a number, and the type as the string "integer" or "number".

<percentage>

Array of length 4: the string "percentage", the representation as a string, the value as a number, and the type as the string "integer" or "number".

<dimension>

Array of length 4: the string "dimension", the representation as a string, the value as a number, the type as the string "integer" or "number", and the unit as a string.

<unicode-range>

Array of length 2: the string "unicode-range", and the range as either null for the empty range, or an array of two numbers.

<include-match>

The string "~=".

<dash-match>

The string "|=".

<prefix-match>

The string "^=".

<suffix-match>

The string "$=".

<substring-match>

The string "*=".

<column>

The string "||".

<whitespace>

The string " " (a single space.)

<CDO>

The string "<!--".

<CDC>

The string "-->".

<colon>

The string ":".

<semicolon>

The string ";".

<comma>

The string ",".

{} block

An array of length N+1: the string "{}" followed by the N component values of the block’s value.

[] block

An array of length N+1: the string "[]" followed by the N component values of the block’s value.

() block

An array of length N+1: the string "()" followed by the N component values of the block’s value.

Function

An array of length N+2: the string "function" and the name of the function as a string followed by the N component values of the function’s value.

Declaration

An array of length 4: the string "declaration", the name as a string, the value as a nested array of component values, and a the important flag as a boolean.

At-rule

An array of length 4: the string "at-rule", the name (value of the at-keyword) as a string, the prelude as a nested array of component values, and the optional block as a nested array of component value, or null.

Qualified rule

An array of length 3: the string "qualified rule", the prelude as a nested array of component values, and the block as a nested array of component value.
