As an aside/reminder for people, for web-platform-tests in particular the dashboard at https://jgraham.github.io/wptdash/ can give you information about all tests in a component and is designed to answer questions like "which tests are failing in Firefox but passing in both Chrome and Safari", since knowing that can help prioritise issues that are likely web-compat hazards.
Apologies for not mentioning this invaluable resource in the email! I've filed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1656010 on exposing wptdash from searchfox in a contextually useful way.
And, as less of an aside, if there's more information people want, we can definitely add it to the summary task. The current featureset was based on the requirements of wptdash, but if there's more things that would be useful we should go ahead and add them.
Yes, to be clear, this initial landing is basically an MVP (Minimal Viable Product) for information about tests. It would be fantastic if we could add more directly useful information and links out to other existing (or new) tools. I would be very happy to mentor anyone through the searchfox aspects of any enhancements here, but am not an expert in the underlying production of the taskcluster artifacts.
Aside: For those reading this and concerned about more information being added which directly displaces the contents of the source file, please be aware:
- The searchfox contributors are aware of these concerns and concerned about them too. There are delicate trade-offs to be made and none of the existing searchfox contributors are UX experts! We appreciate input and especially specific proposals for how to improve things, especially if a mockup can be made by permuting the existing searchfox UI with devtools and a screenshot taken! - As an example of the power of teamwork and iteration, the current cool looking position:sticky styling you see on searchfox is thanks to :heycam iterating on my initial styling with the help of :kats! - As another example of the power of teamwork and iteration, a related effort stemming from changes in the HTML hierarchy of the searchfox code listing was improving the accessibility tree produced by the searchfox source listing thanks to :Jamie! - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1655952 tracks current discussion related to this (meta-)issue, but there's also the #searchfox chat.mozilla.org channel
