The <search> element is not in the spec #156

Closed ju1ius closed 1 year ago

ju1ius commented 1 year ago

Hi,

142 added tests for the <search> element, but it is not in the HTML spec yet (no documentation about it can be found when building the main branch of the spec).

Looking at the state of whatwg/html#7320, it looks like it's still a long way before it lands.

It seems to me that this PR should not have been merged before whatwg/html#7320 was either merged or reached a more stable state.

If you disagree, could you consider adding a way to filter-out test-cases for experimental parts of the spec? For example by putting them in an experimental subdirectory (like it's done for scripting-related tests)?

Thanks !

Hey @ju1ius, thanks for the reminder. @gsnedders wrote https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/pull/39158 which was the main blocker towards getting the <search> element over the finish line, so you might have inadvertently helped make it happen. Stay tuned.
