So we ended deploying a different version of the EWS that has a much
higher tolerance to pre-existent failures (up to 500 before exiting
early) and also that tries hard to discard pre-existent failures and
flakies by repeating each failure 10 times with patch and 10 times
without it. [1]
Mixed thoughts on this:
(1) Good job. Having layout tests on EWS is a great improvement. We've
been talking about this for a long time, and you finally made it happen!
(2) That you needed to use such a big hammer to make the EWS work
reliably suggests either that either WebKitGTK quality or WebKit test
quality is quite low. I'm sure it's a mix of both, but mostly the
former, because test flakiness is not this severe for Apple ports. This
is not encouraging.
(3) Any plans for WPE?
Anyway, I agree this was the best approach given the current situation.
Happy holidays,
Michael
