Hi Melwyn,

Such behavior could happen if there is some kind of popup opened that prevents 
the job from exiting.
We are using Xvnc and in such cases we connect to the open session and check 
what is opened.
You may also check the recent changes to your plugin and its tests. An option 
is also to try to isolate the test causing the issue.
Also as an workaround you may put a job timeout, but it is preferable to find 
out and fix the cause.

Kind Regards,
Alex

Initially we were thinking that the problem is with the virtual display which

Does the same build command works and runs tests correctly locally?
I guess it's not a matter of number of lines, but rather of what it is actually 
done. For example, all methods related to mouse seems to fail against some X 
server implementations. It's indeed possible that Xvfb has a bug, you could try 
Xvnc instead (which isn't free of bugs neither).
