Bug 530666 (FrequentHudsonJvmCrashWebkit1)

Description Leo Ufimtsev 2018-02-02 10:32:03 EST

Hudson's build often crashes in the Test_*_Browser suite, e.g:

....
Running Test_org_eclipse_swt_browser_Browser#test_OpenWindowListener_open_ChildPopup
# 
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

Re-triggering the build often works.

This is because the test server still only webkit1.  (Our build server has webkit2).

To solve this, we are awaiting the test server to be upgraded to have Webkit2 package.
