> expected a number less than or equal to -49824.299358000004 but got -49824.299358 Some sort of floating point error :/
A few notes: * test-verify only runs when the test is changed, so it might not be intermittent * the float difference looks a lot like float vs. double accuracy, as though something was a float, then got converted to a double, and some calculations on the double then weren't completely accurate
(In reply to David Baron :dbaron: 🏴󠁵󠁳󠁣󠁡󠁿 ⌚UTC-7 from comment #2) > A few notes: > * test-verify only runs when the test is changed, so it might not be > intermittent Yeah, I ran test-verify on OSX 10.10 before landing this: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=b81a22882fbec848257f380114b7b55db05af1b5 so hopefully it's not permafail, but given how soon this failed after adding the test in question, I expect it will be high frequency. > * the float difference looks a lot like float vs. double accuracy, as > though something was a float, then got converted to a double, and some > calculations on the double then weren't completely accurate We do one calculation using JavaScript Numbers and one using TimeDurations (64-bit integers whose units vary by platform). Normally though that shouldn't be a problem because this is a <= check where we expect it to be significantly less. In the failure case, though, I wonder if we're hitting a combination of vsync timer clamping (which is where the times can end up being equal) and this precision difference. I'll probably just add some epilson to this check later today.
This test appears to occasionally fail. The suspected cause is a combination of: * timer clamping (due to vsync) resulting in the current timeline time after resuming playback and the "ready time" being equal * difference in floating-point precision used in calculating the two measures -- one calculation done in JS and one done using the UA's internal representation of times. Therefore this patch adds the standard tolerance for comparing time values to this comparison.
