Invalid test for `list-style-type` CSS property values

Open foolip opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Reported by @jugglinmike in https://github.com/foolip/mdn-bcd-collector/issues/2347:

The "harness" test for CSS property values uses the CSS.supports function where available. This is not a reliable way to test support for list-style-type values because that CSS property accepts any arbitrary string value.

This is apparent in the data for Chrome stored in the mdn-bcd-results repository: the results for the value "afar" are true for versions 1 through 44, false for versions 45 through 90, and then true again for versions 91 through 105.

click to reveal an awful shell script which highlights the relevant results The update-bcd script does not reflect this history in BCD due to a known deficiency.

Looking at https://mdn-bcd-collector.gooborg.com/tests/css/properties/list-style-type this does still seem to be an issue.
