Behat test "group_view_block.feature" fails in MySQL

[Jinelle Foley-Barnes]

Hi all,

I ran the Behat suite when we did the release. 15.10. One scenario failed.

Feature:
 `Show the block "Group pages" in the group homepage'.

Step that failed:
 Form field with id|name|label|value "group_view_submission_form_2_options" not found.
    In step `And I select "Page userA_01" from "group_view_submission_form_2_options"'.

This test is testing (Bug 1457246). If you'd rather grep search the tests using this :)

This is one of the steps that failed but a few more steps in this scenario didn't run because they were dependent on this step.

Cheers.

Hm, fascinating. When I put a "And I wait "100" seconds" in there and inspected the form manually before the failing step, it completed successfully. But when I run the test without doing that, it fails.

Seems like it's probably a Behat glitch of some sort.
