Bug 128379 – REGRESSION: animations/suspend-resume-animation.html and other animation tests have become way more flaky

• Status: NEW
• Component: Animations

[Dean Jackson]

We're seeing flakey results on animations/suspend-resume-animation.html

Dean marked the test as flaky in <http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/changeset/163624>.

See also bug 50959: animations/play-state-suspend.html also became very flaky at the same time.

[Alexey Proskuryakov]

There are more tests that regressed - they were already marked as flaky, but became much much more so in the last week:

animations/stop-animation-on-suspend.html (bug 49182)
animations/combo-transform-translate+scale.html (bug 122040)

With more tests to cross reference, it appears very probable that the failures started in this short range: http://trac.webkit.org/log/?verbose=on&rev=163476&stop_rev=163472

[Alexey Proskuryakov]

These only fail in debug mode on test bots, but at least animations/stop-animation-on-suspend.html became flaky on EWS too. I'll remove [ Debug ] from TestExpectations.
