web_tests/FlagExpectations stores flag-specific test expectations. Please see [1] for details, and see [2] to see if a flag-specific test configuration is suitable for you.

To run layout tests with a flag passed to content_shell, use:

run_web_tests.py --flag-specific=config-name

It requires web_tests/FlagSpecificConfig to contain an entry for "config-name", e.g.: { "name": "config-name", "args": ["--flag1", "--flag2"] }

run_web_tests.py will pass "--flag1 --flag2" to content_shell.

You can create a new file:

FlagExpectations/config-name

The entries in the file is the same as the main TestExpectations file, e.g. crbug.com/123456 path/to/your/test.html [ Expectation ]

This file will override the main TestExpectations file when the above command is run.
