Hi,

I've updated testng to the latest version (6.14.3) and it seems to
solve the issue. Can you confirm it?

 

Ok, I will check that today. 

It seems, that these are related to some race conditions in the parallel execution of tests. We also have verifyThatTestMethodsRunInParallelThreads failing sometimes. I will report back with results today.

guix build --rounds=30 run to completion with this update, referring to discussion on the IRC I'm closing this bug as fixed.
