@rchliu If these are the only two tests failing, you can ignore them for now until someone has some helpful inputs for you.

Hi @rchliu, this failure could be due to the timeout value being too short. Can you try setting the test.timeout value in test.properties file to something like 30 and re-running just these two tests?

Actually, before even changing the mentioned value, can you try re-running these two tests? Usually tests run faster when run in isolation.

Thanks for your help, @wkurniawan07. After a few more retries AdminHomePageUiTest succeeded, but I had to change the timeout to 30s for InstructorCourseEnrollPageUiTest to pass.
