            Bug ID: 265066
           Summary: [run-webkit-tests] Tests which fail and then crash on
                    retry aren't flakey
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Safari Technology Preview
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: jbedard at apple.com

Our run-webkit-tests logic retries failed tests runs in some configurations. It will classify a test as "flakey" if the retry results don't match the original results, and EWS uses this to decide when to mark a change as having failed tests.

This logic isn't quite right, though, as demonstrated by https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/20624. When we say "flakey", we mean that the second test run matches an expected test result, not that the second test run is a different (but also failing) result.
