I was able to reproduce the timeout on Sierra Release with:

run-webkit-tests webaudio/silent-audio-interrupted-in-background.html -f --iterations=100 --no-retry-failure -g

It is flaky so it did occasionally pass all test.

+#PID UNRESPONSIVE - com.apple.WebKit.WebContent.Development (pid 95499)

I believe that this error means that the issue is caused by the preceding test. Perhaps both this and preceding test can cause this?

Definitely seems worth a deeper look.

[Alexey Proskuryakov]

Sorry, I misread. "Timed out waiting for notifyDone to be called" is normally about the current test.

[Alexey Proskuryakov]

This test is normally very fast, but times out fairly frequently.

[Chris Dumez]

I will take a look soon.

I have tried this repeatedly:
Tools/Scripts/run-webkit-tests webaudio/silent-audio-interrupted-in-background.html -f --iterations=1000 --no-retry-failure -g

So far, no failures though :/

Looks like I have managed to reproduce with:
Tools/Scripts/run-webkit-tests webaudio/silent-audio-interrupted-in-background.html -f --iterations=1000 --no-retry-failure -g --child-processes=50

This is somehow related to page visibility. The onvisibilitychange event handler on document sometimes does not get called after calling testRunner.setPageVisibility("hidden").

When setting the page visibility to hidden, we end up calling:
void TestController::setHidden(bool hidden)
{
    NSWindow *window = [mainWebView()->platformView() window];
    if (!window)
        return;

    if (hidden)
        [window orderOut:nil];
    else
        [window makeKeyAndOrderFront:nil];
}

Marked test as flaky in http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/changeset/218706

[Alexey Proskuryakov]

It continues to be a flaky timeout on new OSes.

[youenn fablet]

It is no longer flaky on bots

[Alexey Proskuryakov]

Seems like flaky expectations still need to be removed?
