Sporadic failure in JS tests

[takluyver]

I see this periodically in the JS tests on Travis:

FAIL ws_closed_ok: kernel_busy.Kernel was triggered
# type: assertEquals
# subject: "kernel_idle.Kernel"
# expected: "kernel_busy.Kernel"
FAIL ws_closed_ok: kernel_idle.Kernel was triggered
# type: assertEquals
# subject: "kernel_busy.Kernel"
# expected: "kernel_idle.Kernel"

It looks like it's a simple race condition, where the messages aren't always being processed in the order it expects. Rerunning the tests usually makes it pass, but it fails often enough to be annoying.

Have we been seeing race conditions in the JS tests recently? Is this still relevant?

It seems to come and go. I haven't seen it in a bit, though.

Closing as it appears that this test is no longer in IPython repository. Please reopen if I misunderstood.
