Blog » Help Test jQuery 1.3 Beta 2

Posted January 5th, 2009 by John Resig

We’re getting ever-closer to the final release of jQuery 1.3! In a follow-up to the recent 1.3 Beta 1 we have another test version for everyone to try. As with before, it’s not ready for production use yet but we definitely need help in hunting down any bugs that we may have missed.

Please don’t test 1.3 Beta 1 anymore - all testing should move on to beta 2. The final release of jQuery 1.3 will be on the 14th of January with a final release candidate available a few days before.

A copy of jQuery 1.3b2 can be found here:

Please don’t use minified or packed versions of jQuery when testing - it makes locating bugs difficult.

Changes

So far two changes in 1.3 have been the most likely to cause problems:

  1. Old, XPath, style attribute selectors: [@attr=value]. These have been deprecated for quite some time - and we’re finally removing them. To fix it just remove the @!
  2. Bubbling triggered events. Triggered events now bubble up the DOM - some plugins haven’t expected this and have had to adapt. Its pretty easy to fix your code to “protect” against bubbling - add the following statement to your bound handler: if ( this === event.target ) { … }

Tests

The test suite is holding up quite well. We currently have 1370 tests covering all aspects of the library and passing in all the major browsers:

How to provide feedback:

  • Submit a bug to the jQuery bug tracker (you will need to create an account, first).
  • Be sure to include a simple test case for any problem that you’re experiencing (either attach the test case or provide a link).
  • Mention that you’re testing “jQuery 1.3 Beta 2″ (otherwise your ticket will get confused with another release).
  • Email a link to your test case and bug report to the jQuery Dev list so that the dev team will be notified about your issue.

Thanks to everyone, in advance, for all your help in testing this release. We’re really excited about this release and can’t wait to get it into your hands.

    @carlo: Yeah, Opera 10 still has bugs in it - the Opera team is working on them, as far as I know.

    I’m getting 42 tests failing (no, I’m not kidding with that count either) in FF 3.05 on Win2K. Screenshot of test results: http://tr.im/31gu

    @carlo, Derek: Well, that’s probably because you’re using my live testing page rather than your own copy :-P I’m literally editing the jQuery source referenced by that page right now - which is causing errors to appear and go away as I work.

    my test result(firefox 3.0.5 in winxp is ok。but one error in ie7):

    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.648; InfoPath.2)

    ajax module: jQuery.post(String, Hash, Function) - simple with xml (1, 2, 3)
    Check for XML: 5-2
    Check for XML: 3
    Expected 4 assertions, but 2 were run

    @John: Well, that might explain it. ;) I should note though that the test page is akin to a production environment, and I supposed that any changes to the source would be done on your local machine as well. ;) But I’m just kiding around. Thanks a million for all your efforts.

    谷歌的个性化首页问题
    我添加三个以上的“新闻要闻-新浪要闻”的时候，这时候设置显示多少条不起作用了。添加两个的时候还起作用，添加到三个以上的时候，只有设置最后添加的那个才起作用，但是，一起作用则所有添加的都起作用。不信大家试试看。

    我发觉：jQuery和谷歌个性化首页几乎每天都有所变化。每天浏览都发现又多了一些新功能或者新样式。

    Even though you are breaking compatibility by disabling the xpath attribute selection (which is usually a no-go): great stuff (and the latter is not too much of an issue). Keep up the good work!
