The following layout test is flaky on Mac Debug 

resize-observer/observe-element-from-other-frame.html

Probable cause:

Test was added in https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/243643/webkit and is a flaky failure since

Does this make a bunch of tests take 1s to run? That's really long.

Hi Simon,
Thanks:)

Normally, this wouldn't affect the test time if the tests running as expected. But there are 4 tests in imported/w3c/web-platform-tests/resize-observer which would take 1s to test unwanted notification. They are test4(), test5(), test9() in notify.html and test3() in observe.html.

If not running as expected, because they are promise tests, this would extend timeout time once for each resizeObserver test file at most.

We could try 500ms first if any. It would be better if we can somehow expedite / emulate the rendering timing though. e.g. add some internal method to speed up the process only inside WebKitTestRunner.

Oh, please don't modify the imported tests. They're supposed to be only modified in the upstream first.
It's fine if you're uploading this patch just to see if EWS is happy with it
but you should probably manually run it like 100-500 times to make sure it's actually not flaky.
If you're on macOS, then Instruments has the ability to reduce the number of effective cores.
Reducing it to 2 cores, for example, makes it easier to induce flakiness.

Hi Ryosuke,

Thanks:)

500ms seems work well in my local env.
I also changed the one in imported/w3c/web-platform-tests/resize-observer/resources/resizeTestHelper.js to make them consistent.

Ah, OK, I'll remove the change in imported tests.

And I tried reducing the effective core number like you said, it seems to work well. Thanks:)

Note that this test was already changed in https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/244182/webkit#file10 ; probably someone should do the change upstream (if that's not already done).
