#file-parsing

Tests that expect an ‘error’ event (due to invalid signature) are:

./signature-invalid.html ./support/*.vtt

Other tests are generated from source files with a custom format. The source files are:

./support/*.test

.test Format

The first line is the title of the test.
Subsequent lines until a blank line contain HTML metadata.
Subsequent lines until a === line contains JS assertions.
Finally the WebVTT file. Special characters can be escaped using python3 escape sequences: \x00, \r.
