Earliest failure seen with:
https://trac.webkit.org/log/?verbose=on&rev=205094&stop_rev=205093
Comment 2 Ryan Haddad 2016-08-29 17:31:03 PDT
Maybe related to https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/205094
Comment 3 Ryan Haddad 2016-08-30 11:07:18 PDT
Marked test as flaky on mac-wk2 debug in http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/changeset/205187
Comment 4 Jonathan Bedard 2016-08-30 17:28:53 PDT
Just a few comments so that this is documented.

I find it highly unlikely that it was https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/205094.  This change added a function to the test runner that is only called by two tests, which were failing before the change.  editing/pasteboard/5478250.html does not call the added function.  Looking at the immediate preceding change, however, https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/205093, may be a potential culprit, as the error we see in editing.pasteboard/5478250.html has to do with CSS.

I suspect that this bug depends on test order, although I have not managed to reproduce it, so I cannot definitively say that is what is going on.
Comment 5 Jonathan Bedard 2016-08-31 11:45:13 PDT
I'm actually curious as to why this test is passing at all.  Opening it in Safari seems to indicate the test should be failing 100% of the time.  Oddly, I can't get it to fail in the test suite, it seems like it should be failing there too if it is failing in Safari.

Test results:

Comment 6 Alexey Proskuryakov 2016-09-02 09:46:39 PDT
I can reproduce locally. The difference almost certainly means that text replacement now fires, and changes three dots into an ellipsis, so r205094 does seem somewhat related.

> I'm actually curious as to why this test is passing at all.

The test only verifies that the text is bold when running as a pixel test - render tree doesn't encode whether the text was bold. So that regression occurred long ago, unnoticed. We'll need a separate bug for that.

Steps to reproduce: 

run-webkit-tests --child-processes=1 editing/inserting/smart-link-when-caret-is-moved-before-URL.html editing/pasteboard/5478250.html  -v --no-retry

Comment 9 Alexey Proskuryakov 2016-09-06 10:04:45 PDT
Bug 161411 seems like it probably shares the root cause with this.

Comment 11 Jonathan Bedard 2016-09-06 10:41:40 PDT
This is because of a failure to reset state when a new test begins, specifically due to setAutomaticLinkDetectionEnabled(bool) not reseting.
Comment 12 Ryan Haddad 2016-09-06 10:47:20 PDT
Removed flaky expectations and skipped editing/inserting/smart-link-when-caret-is-moved-before-URL.html in https://trac.webkit.org/r205491
Comment 13 Jonathan Bedard 2016-09-06 15:05:36 PDT
Further investigation has revealed that the "setAutomaticLinkDetectionEnabled" flag is reset before each test (although, many of the TestRunner's functions are not reset before each test).  The flag also remains reset through out the test.  Yet, somehow state is being retained between tests.
Comment 14 Jonathan Bedard 2016-09-07 15:12:11 PDT
This is a bug with the TestRunner.  The test runner is attempting to modify the text checker from the WebContent process instead of the UI process.
Comment 15 Jonathan Bedard 2016-09-08 11:22:31 PDT
To fully fix this bug, API additions will need to be made.

It is unclear why WKTextChecker.h, the file which provides these checks for most platforms, is excluded on Apple's builds.  The primary functionality provided, spelling and grammar checking, are defined by Apple's text checker.
