Bug 197040 – [Mac iOS WK2] Layout Test http/wpt/cache-storage/cache-quota-after-restart.any.html is a flaky failure

• Component: Tools / Tests
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Shawn Roberts]

The following layout test is failing on Mac WK2, iOS Simulator WK2 Release and Debug

http/wpt/cache-storage/cache-quota-after-restart.any.html

Probable cause:

test was added in https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/243276/webkit and has been a flaky failure since added. iOS Simulator Release fails the most, but has been seen on other queues as well.

There are two issues there:
- Test on iOS might be very slow so we should mark it this way in TestExpectations.
- Sometimes, disk writing fails. Doing some logging in NetworkCache::Storage, it seems that between the time we call Storage::dispatchWriteOperation and create the folder where to write using FileSystem::makeAllDirectories and the actual write operation in IOChannel::write, the folder get deleted. Sometimes the call to FileSystem::makeAllDirectories fails as well. Doing some logging, I do not see any calls to remove these folders from another thread.

As spotted by Antti, the synchronize mechanism is probably the one deleting the folder that has just been created.
This probably happens as write and synchronize share the same background queue and the queue is concurrent.
