This test is a flakey failure on Mac WK2. It began failing around r253457

I am able to reproduced this failure by simply running the test, but I could not find a regression point due to the test continuing to fail locally on any revision.

This particular test was not updated in r253457.

[Chris Dumez]

The test seems to do:
  await registration.update();
  const newWorker = registration.installing;

And sometimes, newWorker is null. This may indicate the service worker is already done installing and is now activating or activated.

test-request-headers-worker.js & test-request-headers-worker.py were however updated in r253457 and are both used by update-no-cache-request-headers.https.html.

[Chris Dumez]

Looks like I can reproduce like so:
run-webkit-tests --repeat-each=100 imported/w3c/web-platform-tests/service-workers/service-worker/update-no-cache-request-headers.https.html -f

When it fails, the registration has no installing or waiting worker. It only an an active worker, which is the same one as before the update.

[Chris Dumez]

We fail because of this check:
    // If newestWorker is not null, newestWorker's script url equals job's script url with the exclude fragments
    // flag set, and script's source text is a byte-for-byte match with newestWorker's script resource's source
    // text, then:
    if (newestWorker && equalIgnoringFragmentIdentifier(newestWorker->scriptURL(), job.scriptURL) && result.script == newestWorker->script()) {

in SWServerJobQueue::scriptFetchFinished(const ServiceWorkerFetchResult&).

test-request-headers-worker.js is supposed to include a timestamp to make it unique. Maybe the initial install and the update happen so quickly after one another that the timestamp does not have time to change.

[Chris Dumez]

Indeed, it seems that if I replace the timestamp in the script with a uuid, the test is no longer flaky:
