+CONSOLE MESSAGE: line 2081: IconButton failed to load, iconName = pause, layoutTraits = 9, src = data:image/png;base64,
 Tests that appending events for dispatching doesn't crash
 
 ** No crash. Pass **

This logging was added with http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/213540

This indicates that we failed to load an icon from the WebCore.framework.

[Antoine Quint]

So I've managed to reproduce the icon load issue here and as far as I can tell the icon loading fails because we can't get a Page reference here:

String MediaControlsHost::base64StringForIconAndPlatform(const String& iconName, const String& platform) const
{
    Page* page = m_mediaElement->document().page();
    if (!page) {
        return emptyString();
    return RenderTheme::themeForPage(page)->mediaControlsBase64StringForIconAndPlatform(iconName, platform);
}

So we don't event attempt to load the icon and return an empty string. I have no idea why the Page may not be available at this stage.

[Antoine Quint]

OK, in the case of this test, I think this is expected… The test removes the media element from the original page's document after 100ms, so I think it's completely legitimate that we may not have a Page when this gets called, for instance as a result of a "play" event being dispatched which attempts to load the pause icon.

Marked test as flaky in http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/changeset/213580 to get the bots back to green. We'll need to remove this expectation once the logging is removed.
