(resending to a wider audience - apologies to those of you who receive this twice) Hi all, The HTML5 worker spec has changed significantly from its earlier incarnations, in that it's no longer externally visible whether a given worker thread has shut down or not (there are no more close events surfaced on the Worker).
This means that there's not currently a good way to write tests to verify that workers are actually shutting down when they are unreachable/idle. Do you guys have any ideas about how to address this? One idea I had would be to expose a WorkerController for layout tests, similar to GCController - the WorkerController could expose a numWorkers attribute which is incremented/decremented as worker threads startup/exit. I haven't started looking into how this would be done, but I figured I'd ask you guys if this was a good approach or if there's a cleaner way to test these cases. -atw
