Bug 217851 – REGRESSION(r268615): some accelerated transform tests are failing

• Component: Animations
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Antoine Quint]

The test transitions/interrupted-transition-hardware.html has regressed after the fix for bug 217842 on WK1.

Actually, it's a few tests and it's not specific to WK1:

transitions/interrupted-transition-hardware.html
webanimations/accelerated-transform-related-animation-property-order.html
webanimations/accelerated-translate-animation-additional-animation-added-in-flight.html
webanimations/accelerated-translate-animation-underlying-transform-changed-in-flight.html
webanimations/accelerated-translate-animation-with-transform.html
webanimations/accelerated-translate-animation.html

[Antoine Quint]

These failures are specific to Mojave, where CA behaves differently than on Catalina and up.

[Antoine Quint]

Interestingly, the failures stop reproducing if I use slightly smaller values. For these tests, we use a large value for animation duration : 1 day. Using a smaller but still long duration, such as 18 hours, stops reproducing the issue.

[Antoine Quint]

In the failing cases we set a negative time value for the begin time.

[Antoine Quint]

Looking at the bot results, those tests were consistent failures and are now passing fine. I think this has something to do with the value returned by CACurrentMediaTime().

[Antoine Quint]

Right, rebooting a Catalina machine reproduces the issue as well.

[Antoine Quint]

I think this issue is fortuitous and not actually related to the change in r268615. I'm building with a previous revision to determine this.

[Antoine Quint]

Removing the identity transform animation fixes the issue. As soon as we have two animations, having one animation with a start time that is in the past causes this problem.

Shouldn't this be related to the time value we snapshotted for the current rendering update?

same question

[Antoine Quint]

This wasn't a Mojave-specific regression.

It probably should! Note that we only use this for animations that have a timeOffset specified.

I've filed bug 218016 to look into potential syncing issues and the notion of "ready time".
