WebDriver/Meetings/2019-02-25

Agenda

• WebDriver spec for HTTP authentication (Henrik)
  • Brian doesn't have the time to write that content
  • Maybe David as the editor of the spec can pick it up?
• Proposal to run each wdspec test in its own tab for better test isolation (Henrik)
  • Currently this is only done for tests covering the navigation and send alert text commands
  • Global session fixture could be used to correctly set this up
  • No modification of tests should be necessary

Intermittent update (whimboo)

• [fixed] Perma Tier2 [TVw] /webdriver/tests/send_alert_text/send.py | test_alert_unsupported_operation (Bug 1528463)
  • Regression from bug 1502360 and most likely a bug in Firefox which shows a 404 page instead of 401 after HTTP auth dismissal. Fixed by running each test in its own tab.
• [fixed] Intermittent TEST-UNEXPECTED-TIMEOUT | /webdriver/tests/new_session/* (Bug 1418778)
  • Expected timeout condition got removed when updating workers to Windows 10 (1803)
• [waiting for bug 1520062] Intermittent Assertion failure: m_refCount == 1, at /builds/worker/workspace/build/src/js/src/jit/ExecutableAllocator.cpp:51 (Bug 1486101)
  • This is the #1 orange factor intermittent as of now, and only happens for Mn jobs
  • With my minified testcase the leaks have finally been investigated
  • Leaks appear due to some networking code
• [needs feedback] Marionette client hangs 1000s due to channel errors (Bug 1521447)
  • There is a hang of Firefox when `ProcessChild::QuickExit()` is called.
  • The main process never exits and as such is causing this timeout in mozprocess
• Intermittent QuantumRender TEST-UNEXPECTED-TIMEOUT | /webdriver/tests/<random>.py | expected OK (Bug 1526678)
