[isolated-workers] Add console API to IsolatedWorkerGlobalScope about css-houdini-drafts HOT 8 CLOSED

Fun fact: WorkerConsole or similar, isn't actually defined anywhere from what I can tell.
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/workers.html

Will wait patiently for a future where they are defined somewhere.

I have tried for a while to get people to spec console as an intro to standards. @terinjokes made some progress at https://github.com/terinjokes/console-spec. Recently I asked @robertkowalski to try picking up the banner. So: maybe soon?

Just a short update from me:

I tried to figure out how to make the console API testable by a "living documentation". It turns out that this part of the browsers is very hard to test. I was hoping that I could make a reference implementation that includes implementations and tests on the node.js platform but the idea did not get much love in the whatwg channel.

@robertkowalski mine repo has tests, but since the correct behavior of most of the console API is a side effect, it's very difficult to test in the normal way.

Do console messages get sent to selenium in any ways?

from css-houdini-drafts.

great idea, yes that is indeed possible!

Honestly I think the tests are much less important than just writing the spec at this point.
