[danmoseley]

@rzikm generally this symptom means a test has hung for reasons specific to that test, right?. So is it useful to have such a general matching pattern? I'm guessing there are many underlying causes here.

The fact that pattern matching can only look at a single line may make it hard to do better..

[rzikm]

@danmoseley I don't think this can be caused by a test failure, if a test fails, then the exception gets propagated to the test method and it behaves as a regular test. So far, we have seen this type of failure happening either on all (or most?) remote executor tests in the test suite or none at all (there is a link at the top of the issue for example test output).

[rzikm]

Maybe we can scope this issue to WebRequestTests, since its those failures which prompted us to create this tracking issue, @liveans what do you think?

I still believe that this is not specific to WebRequest tests, maybe we should investigate it further, but until then we can decrease the scope of this to WebRequest tests.
