Bug 149468 – Mavericks: Media tests start to time out after a few days of bot uptime

• Component: Tools / Tests
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Alexey Proskuryakov]

After importing W3C media tests, we started to get so many cached media files that it started to make tests very slow, often timing out.

This looks like a CoreMedia bug that is fixed in Yosemite. I'd like to take this opportunity to add cleanup that works on newer systems too though.

On Yosemite WK2, the media cache goes into TMPDIR/com.apple.WebKit.WebContent.Development+WebKitTestRunner/MediaCache, which is also a global directory that should not persist between test runs.

I'll look into moving it under an ephemeral WebKitTestRunner directory separately.

Hmm, not quite right. Some Yosemite bots still put the cache into /private/tmp.

Made deleting /private/tmp/MediaCache unconditional.

Looks like it's used on Yosemite in DumpRenderTree, but not in WebKitTestRunner. That seems wrong, and may need separate investigation.

I think this would read nicer with makeString rather than the typecast, and we could use a character instead of a string for '+'.

I don’t think we have an efficient version of find that takes ASCIILiteral. In fact that might force allocation of a String and skipping the more efficient override for const char*. We could add an override for ASCIILiteral, or we could just omit ASCIILiteral here and get better efficiency.

I think that using makeString we can write this without all the typecasts and ASCIILiteral stuff.
