Description:
I observed a previous suggested fix injected some delay to fix the flaky test, but I believe that fix might be unstable in a CI environment or when run on different machines, given the dependency on some constant wait time. I suggest a new way to fix the test by adding some synchronization for the test execution only. I at first identify the source code location whose slow execution (from Line 436 to 442) leads to the flaky test failure. Hence, I introduce one variable in this test class that is only there to provide some synchronization. Basically, until these statements are executed, I force the thread that shuts down the services. The waiting location is at Line 447 of this test class.
