I’m working on a PR that removes some time.sleep calls from async\_wrapper.py. The PR is failing the Shippable tests but the output is pretty cryptic to me. Can anyone give pointers/tips on running the same tests that shippable is running?

PR: [https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core/pull/4432](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core/pull/4432)  
failing test: [https://app.shippable.com/runs/57b38bc5c81c5c0e00671929/13/console](https://app.shippable.com/runs/57b38bc5c81c5c0e00671929/13/console)

console snippet:

Casey,

That error was a timeout when the CI server attempted to provision an EC2 instance to test FreeBSD. The build from a later commit succeeded.
