1747917 - test_healthPingOnTop is flaky

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Telemetry, defect)

Description

[Bobby Holley (:bholley)]

This test checks the ordering in which telemetry pings are received. While they're most likely to be received in the order submitted, nothing in the telemetry stack guarantees this (indeed, we'd need to submit the pings sequentially, which is presumably undesirable).

There are at least five bugs filed over the years about this failing intermittently, and it also fails quite reliably on TV [1], which runs under chaos mode. I'm just going to remove the test.
