Hi all, I found that the bug is because in the tests, the server needs some time to start in another thread. Makes the tests unstable when machine is slow.
I've made a temporary patch for this to force sleep for 20 seconds after the server thread starts. Need to ask the upstream for a proper fix. The patch is as attachment. Yours, Paul
Description: Add sleep for waiting server to start Due to some reason, we need to wait the server start and then test.
