[Webkit-unassigned] [Bug 162814] Web Inspector: TestSuite test cases should have their own timeout to ensure tests fail with output instead of timeout by test runner

--- Comment #2 from Brian Burg <bburg at apple.com> ---
So, it will check elapsed time before continuing to the next test case? Or would we start a JS watchdog timer for each testcase that will abort the entire suite?

I fear that if the real problem is the bots are simply too contended or slow, then a watchdog timer in JS will just get stuck like the test and be ineffective. If it's a flake even on a fast machine, then this seems like a decent mitigation.

I think a separate issue is that we don't get partial test output when a test times out, even if multiple things have been sent back to the test page. It would be nice to get a warning event sent from the test runner when it's about to kill the test so we could flush any buffered test results.
