           Summary: Chromium DRT should provide option to clear page
                    resources between tests
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: wangxianzhu at google.com


For now Chromium DRT loads the next test directly after the previous test. Resources used by the previous test that are not GC'ed yet has potential influence on the next test, increasing the chance of flakyness.

For example, on an embedded system the number of active GL contexts has a small limit. When running the webgl tests in batch, the GL contexts allocated by the previous test may cause some later test fails to allocate a GL context.

I'll upload a patch that adds a command-line option like '--clear-between-tests' to Chromium DRT.
