The following layout test is flaky on macOS Release WK2

Probable cause:

Unknown.

This regressed with https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/227340/webkit

I can reproduce the failure with a build of r227340 using the following:

run-webkit-tests fast/workers/worker-cloneport.html -fg --iter 25 --no-retry-failure

I cannot reproduce with r227339.

How sure are we there's no crashes?

[Chris Dumez]

I can easily reproduce the issue with the command provided by Ryan.

[Chris Dumez]

 PASS: Received request for 50000 messages
+FAILURE: Received: 0 events - expected: 50000 // Evidence a timeout timer has fired too early
 SUCCESS - received 50000 messages. // Evidence the test is succeeding.
 DONE

The code looks like:
        // Queue up a task to execute once the messages have been processed. The timeout value is set fairly large to account for Chromium's different message delivery architecture.
        // This only fires in the case of a test failure, so it does not slow down test running.
        var timer = setTimeout(function() {
            log("FAILURE: Received: " + itemNum + " events - expected: " + numMessages);
        }, 1000);

So if we've not received all the messages within one second, that line will be printed out. This is clearly an issue with the test.

20s? That's more than DRTs timeout. How about 8s?
