Test that specifying a version when opening a non-existent db causes an upgradeneeded event and that the version number is set correctly. On success, you will see a series of "PASS" messages, followed by "TEST COMPLETE". dbname = "intversion-open-with-version.html" indexedDB.deleteDatabase(dbname) Should trigger: 4.1.4: If no database with the given name from the origin origin was found, or if it was deleted during the previous step, then create a database with name name, with 0 as version, and with no object stores. Let db be the new database. 4.1.6: Create a new connection to db and let connection represent it. 4.1.7: If the version of db is lower than version, then run the steps for running a "versionchange" transaction using connection, version, request and upgrade callback. 4.1.9: Return connection. request = indexedDB.open(dbname, 7) PASS String(request) is "[object IDBOpenDBRequest]" PASS In the upgradeneeded event hander: Test 4.8.9.1: db = event.target.result PASS String(db) is "[object IDBDatabase]" Test 4.8.9.3: PASS event.oldVersion is 0 PASS event.newVersion is 7 PASS event.target.readyState is "done" Test 4.1.4: PASS db.name is dbname PASS db.version is 7 PASS db.objectStoreNames.length is 0 transaction = event.target.transaction PASS String(transaction) is "[object IDBTransaction]" os = db.createObjectStore("someOS") sawTransactionComplete = true openSuccess(): Test 4.1.7, that a versionchange transaction was run.
