754537 - When some tests fail in test_writer_starvation.js, it goes in infinite loop.

Status: NEW

(Core :: Storage: IndexedDB, defect, P5)

Description

[Mike Hommey [:glandium]]

The loop is:
   while (callbackCount < readerCount) {
     executeSoon(function() { testGenerator.next(); });
     yield;
   }

When errors happen during the test, callbackCount is never incremented, and thus can't be higher than readerCount.

FYI, an "easy" way to end up in this infinite loop is to use an sqlite that doesn't have -DSQLITE_MAX_SCHEMA_RETRY=25.
