You can keep an eye on test2, but it is going to continue to fail until the
current VE code there is updated from master in the course of deployment
next week.

I made a significant number of changes to the VE tests this week to make
them pass on beta labs, and the Chrome build fails most of the time because
of this very important bug:

The CirrusSearch tests are actually seriously awesome, there is much to
learn from them, and it would be GREAT if they could be made to pass
consistently.  The person maintaining them is Nik Everett, 'manybubbles' on
IRC, and he's a friendly guy. :-)
