Testcafe-hammerhead: TestCafe fails to restart browser if it became unresponsive. Broken in v1.0.0 onwards.

[sijosyn]

What is your Test Scenario?

I'm reporting 2 issues in the same ticket.

Issue 1 - TestCafe fails to restart browser if it became unresponsive. This feature is broken starting from v1.0.0 (& v1.1.0) but works fine in v0.23.3 (#1815) . TestCafe is supposed to do the following but it stays frozen and won't restart the browser. See test code provided below to demonstrate this issue.

If a browser stops responding while it executes tests, TestCafe restarts the browser and reruns the current test in a new browser instance. If the same problem occurs with this test two more times, the test run finishes and an error is thrown.

Issue 2 - TestCafe fails to fully load the provided test page URL and stays in hung state and won't even throw a failure error. Please check why it stays in frozen state.

What is the Current behavior?

See above.

What is the Expected behavior?

For issue 1 - TestCafe should restart browser if it became unresponsive.
For issue 2 - TestCafe should load the page elements and should not freeze and should complete the test run.

Hi @sijosyn

Thank you for the detailed description. I've reproduced the problem.

For team: We should to encode the referrer property.

@miherlosev / @AndreyBelym - Can you please prioritize this issue and fix it asap? This is blocking bunch of our tests as TestCafe hangs/freezes when it runs to issue. Thanks.
