479538 - Sisyphus - JavaScript tests - patterns maintenance

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing Graveyard :: Sisyphus, defect)

Description

[Bob Clary [:bc] (inactive)]

1. Update the patterns used in public and confidential failures to remove TEST_CPUSPEED which has not been useful in categorizing failures. This also affects every line in public-failures.txt, universe.data etc which bloats the patch to 820K so I won't attach it here.

2. Update the JavaScript Tests Makefile to include a "patterns" target to extract patterns from the expanded failure files into the reduced failure files. Also use a separate confidential-universe.data file for reducing confidential failures since the population of machines running the confidential tests is different from the ones running the public tests.

3. Update timed_run.py to check if the process is hung on termination and to throw and OSError in that event.
