Bug 248203 – REGRESSION(256812@main) [GTK] WebKitWebView API tests are flaky getting stuck

• Status: NEW
• Component: WebKitGTK

[Lauro Moura]

WebKitBuild/GTK/Release/bin/TestWebKitAPI/WebKitGTK/TestWebKitWebView

To reproduce:
./Tools/Scripts/run-gtk-tests --flatpak-verbose --release --display-server=xvfb WebKitBuild/GTK/Release/bin/TestWebKitAPI/WebKitGTK/TestWebKitWebView

Expected: Test executable runs and exits normally

Actual: The test executable becomes zombie while one of the spawned WebProcess is kept alive. The EWS bots are timing out stuck (over the 1200s limit).

Bisecting shows that 256812@main introduced the issue. Also, commenting out the test `/webkit/WebKitWebView/fullscreen` makes the issue go away.

Fullscreen test skipped in https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/6722 to unstuck the bots.

This is "[iOS] PiP-then-Fullscreen results in broken controls in fullscreen mode." For a web process to stay alive and not notice that the UI process is gone, I guess it has lost control entirely, probably in an infinite loop? If it were to return control to the main loop, then it should notice and die.
