Description
test_view_decorator has this at the bottom:
# And if we wait a few more seconds
time.sleep(5)
# the custom timeouot cache will miss
response = other_with_timeout_view(request, '18')
self.assertEqual(response.content, 'Hello World 18')
This fails on the Ubuntu build machines, although it succeeds on local builds. I got it to pass by bumping up the sleep to 5 seconds, but that's just a bandaid.
Judging from other sleeps in this test, I suspect there are more race conditions lurking.
