Confirmed.

Possible workaround:
1. Run ./third_party/WebKit/Tools/Scripts/run-blink-wptserve
2. Open http://localhost:8081/pointerevents/pointerevent_attributes_hoverable_pointers-manual.html

(Does that work OK for now for debugging this test?

The suggested way doesn't load the automation scripts I believe. I mean it just loads the test similar to ./serve command under web-platform-tests repo. At least that is what happened to me.

Any update on this?

I suspect that it's the loadAutomationScript() in testharnessreport.js that's going wrong, the paths may end up looking differently.

For it to work over HTTP, the hostname has to be web-platform.test, so try if http://web-platform.test:8081/pointerevents/pointerevent_attributes_hoverable_pointers-manual.html works.

nzolghadr@, have you kept having trouble with this? Downgrading to a P3 since it seems like it'd be OK to keep not fixing it for a while, and likely that the whole wpt_automation mechanism might go away first, in favor of testdriver.js upstream.

That's alright. Sounds good.

nzolghadr@ lanwei@ will this be fixed by the ongoing work on the actions API?
