           Summary: NRWT doesn't say anything when a regression tests is
                    an expected crash
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: ap at webkit.org

I'm running new-run-webkit-tests fast/ruby with current ToT. There is currently an assertion failure occurring in four of theses tests (bug 67007), so these have been added to expectations as crashing ones.

How can I know if a Crash Reporter dialog that just popped up on my screen is due to an expectedly crashing test, or because the crash happens in-between tests, so NRWT doesn't attribute it to any test? The former is just a nuisance (lots of time wasted for CrashReporter to create its log, and a window for me to dismiss), while the latter requires immediate action, as it's an unknown crasher bug in WebKit.

My suggestion is to print out a line when an expected crash occurs, so that one could see whether there is a reason to panic when seeing a CrashReporter dialog during tests.
