[webkit-dev] Random inspector crasher?

[Eric Seidel]

Long ago we taught the commit-queue how to be tolerant of flaky tests
(just running the tests again and again until it gets consistent
results).  Recently we taught it how to report to bugzilla when it
finds flaky tests.

We're still working on improving the information it reports (including
crash reports, failure type, etc.)


But even in the limited data we have, I'm seeing a lot of
non-text-diff failures from inspector tests:

And I suspect that there may be a marauding crasher in the inspector code.

https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50868 seems to support this hypothesis.


Do any of the inspector folks have any ideas?

p.s. I'm working on teaching the queue how to upload crash reports.  I
hope to have the patch posted before holiday break.
