No one is maintaining the nightly branch right now, so really what you're doing 
is comparing results of the test against a specific commit from January 24: 
"9159cd88dccb3063c7124af70935fd2418a5645e".

Could you test against v1-train, or use the last previously green commit of 
gaia's master branch in lieu of the nightly branch?  If neither is an option, 
can you test against a known good master branch commit that's periodically 
updated?

Having a reference in the git repository called "nightly" doesn't make any 
difference if that reference isn't updated with useful contents.
