Hi there, we have a project using Ruby on Rails 4.2 (Ruby 2.3). We are having problems getting some of our Capybara feature test through. They seem to break completely randomly (so when I re-run by ssh-ing into the machine, most of the time a different test breaks, sometimes more than one). We are using the free container, could it be that I need more cores to run these type of tests? Not sure how to debug it. Non of our developers has problems with running these tests locally.

Thanks!

I’m having the same issue. Passes fine on everything else but every other build on circleci times out with “no output.” Did you find any work arounds?
