Previously, we were performing a hard check that the task was executed at least 100ms after it was posted. All clocks in our tests make use of mach_absolute_time() under the hood, including std::chrono::steady_clock from libcxx, but error could be introduced from at least two sources:

  • Floating point rounding, particularly with 0.1; we could fix this by using 0.25 instead. Pretty low chance of triggering a failure, but certainly possible.
  • Clock drift, e.g. due to a really badly timed NTP update. Exceedingly unlikely but possible, and probably maddening if it did occur.

Issue: #157140

Pre-launch Checklist

If you need help, consider asking for advice on the #hackers-new channel on Discord.

If this change needs to override an active code freeze, provide a comment explaining why. The code freeze workflow can be overridden by code reviewers. See pinned issues for any active code freezes with guidance.

Note: The Flutter team is currently trialing the use of Gemini Code Assist for GitHub. Comments from the gemini-code-assist bot should not be taken as authoritative feedback from the Flutter team. If you find its comments useful you can update your code accordingly, but if you are unsure or disagree with the feedback, please feel free to wait for a Flutter team member's review for guidance on which automated comments should be addressed.

Code Review

This pull request modifies the testPostDelayedTask in TaskRunnerTests.swift to include an epsilon tolerance in the timing assertion. A review comment suggests reducing the epsilon value from 0.05 to 0.001 to ensure the test remains valid and does not allow tasks to execute significantly earlier than the intended delay.
