… in WebView unit tests Some unit tests attempt to wait for the WebView to be paint ready before executing. The previous code would wait for a frame ready message from the WebView before running, but this was subject to timing issues due to the frame being sent before the load complete message. This changes makes it so that the WebView explicitly triggers another rendering update and then waits for a frame. It should be guaranteed that the next frame will be one that reflects load completeness. Signed-off-by: Martin Robinson <[email protected]>

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Testing: This seems to eliminate flaky timeouts on my machine.
Could you add how many rounds you ran?

Some unit tests attempt to wait for the WebView to be paint ready before
executing. The previous code would wait for a frame ready message from
the WebView before running, but this was subject to timing issues due to
the frame being sent before the load complete message. This changes
makes it so that the WebView explicitly triggers another rendering
update and then waits for a frame. It should be guaranteed that the next
frame will be one that reflects load completeness.
Special thanks to jmunroe on Zulip for investigation into this issue.
Testing: This seems to eliminate flaky timeouts on my machine. I ran
the unit tests in a loop, stopping if any error (such as a timeout happened).
Before this would stop within a minute or two, but I could not reproduce
the issue with this change after several minutes.
