Bug 105307 – 2 fast/filesystem test cases ask for more space than the size they request when creating the file system

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Tools / Tests

[Lyon Chen]

Following two test cases ask for more space than they request when making the request to open a file system:
LayoutTests/fast/filesystem/file-writer-abort-continue.html
LayoutTests/fast/filesystem/op-get-metadata.html

For the first test case, in file fast/filesystem/resources/file-writer-abort-continue.js, following code is called to create a WebFileSystem with 2M size:

setupAndRunTest(2*1024*1024, ...),

but then in one of the test, a length of 2200000 is requested as shown below, with blobSize defined as 1100000.

    verifyLength : blobSize * 2, // Add in leftovers from previous method.

For the second test case, in file fast/filesystem/resources/op-tests-helper.js, following code is called to create a WebFileSystem with 100 bytes size:

webkitRequestFileSystem(TEMPORARY, 100, fileSystemCallback, errorCallback);

But then in one of the test file in fast/filesystem/resources/op-get-metadata.js, an 100 bytes file is requested, after a file with 10 bytes size is created.

            {fullPath:'/file3', size:100},

Right now the size used in requestFileSystem() is not enforced, but for platform want to enforce this limit, these 2 tests will fail because the space over usage.

Why not key this directly off blobSize, e.g. make it "blobSize * 2 + someWiggleRoomForOverhead"?  Different implementations will have different overhead costs [between zero and e.g. an amount used for e.g. storing path names], but it seems safer to use blobSize than to put in an undocumented number that will go stale or just be wrong.  Speaking from experience, obviously, as I wrote this bug ;'>.

Thanks Eric. But the problem is then how to decide the size of the overhead? Does using a percentage, like 8/512 (8 bytes per 512 byte block), make sense to you?

You can see what chromium does in UsageForPath at http://code.google.com/searchframe#OAMlx_jo-ck/src/webkit/fileapi/obfuscated_file_util.cc&exact_package=chromium&q=UsageForPath

We charge overhead per file plus per character of name.  Whatever you put in will certainly be approximate, but anything's better than just a random number, and if you make your fudge factor large, it won't break for a long time.  And then whoever's got a problem with it can fix it.

That ought to be plenty; thanks for the fix.
