Bug 113114 – REGRESSION(r146647): media/video-controls-captions.html is timing out

• Status: NEW
• Component: Media

[Peter Kasting]

See http://test-results.appspot.com/dashboards/flakiness_dashboard.html#group=%40ToT%20-%20webkit.org&showExpectations=true&tests=media%2Fvideo-controls-captions.html .

The Chromium bots seem to be getting killed before they print anything, but the EFL Linux bots have a longer timeout, and print:

CONSOLE MESSAGE: line 97: TypeError: 'undefined' is not an object (evaluating 'captionsButtonCoordinates[0]')
FAIL: Timed out waiting for notifyDone to be called

Jer Noble pointed out bug 95428 which suggests that the test has been previously failing on EFL, but the dashboard shows GTK as broken and EFL not, so I'm thinking that bug is out-of-date w.r.t. EFL.

For now I'm going to mark this as expected to fail in Chromium as opposed to just rolling the change out, but please investigate.  CCing scherkus on the Chromium side as a knowledgeable Media guy in case he wants some particular action taken.

According to the link from bug 113127 ( http://test-results.appspot.com/dashboards/flakiness_dashboard.html#group=%40ToT%20-%20webkit.org&tests=media%2Ftrack%2Ftrack-prefer-captions.html ), at least some GTK bots were passing and are now newly timing out as well.  And even the Apple bots, which were already flaky, seem to be more consistently timing out.  Widening summary.

Perhaps I should have rolled this out after all...

We don't normally assign bugs on WebKit Bugzilla since virtually everyone ignores it.

track-prefer-captions.html is a different test.

This test is not run on the Apple bots, they use the track menu and this tests the "CC" button (which toggles captions on and off).

[Eric Carlson]

The logic in media/video-controls-captions.html is flawed. It assumes the <track> element will not load until the "CC" button is clicked, but the track has a "srclan=en" attribute and the script sets the user's preferred language to "en". HTMLMediaElement::configureTextTrackGroup has always automatically selected a track when it matches the user's preferred language, but the timing of when it runs has changed so this test now fails more consistently.

The logic in this test should be updated.

Oops, my mistake.  Sorry for the bad dupe there :(

Indeed, but besides that there is also a bug when there's no srclang specified
for the track - no track gets displayed at all.

I've tried fixing the code and split language behavior in a different test:
https://codereview.chromium.org/14056005/

I'll post the patch here too, but feel free to comment on the codereview there
as well in the meantime.

This and the other test won't work on the Mac because the CC button shows and hides the track menu. I expect that you will want something similar at some point, but you can make the test work by setting the old webkitClosedCaptionsVisible property.

Tests failed on the EWS. Please make a new patch that revolves that if you would like to continue working on this fix.

This test case is gone:

https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/commit/a39bd42ad87d82a3bea0fa6eac107376a973cf7c

>> * media/video-controls-captions.html: Removed.

But do we want to merge: https://src.chromium.org/viewvc/blink?revision=148780&view=revision

As mentioned in Comment 09?

I don't think we want to merge that change. We may want to implement the same behavior, but we should do that with a new bug and new code if we decide to do that.
