## What is the problem?
MessageBus by default uses long polling which keeps a connection
open for 25 seconds by default. The problem here is that Capybara does not know about these
connections being kept opened by MessageBus and hence does not know how
to stop these connections at the end of each test. As a result, the long polling MessageBus connections are kept opened by the browser and we hit chrome's limit of 6 concurrent requests per host, new request made in the browser is marked as "pending" until a request is freed up. Since we keep a MessageBus long polling connection opened for 25 seconds, our finders in Capybara end up hitting Capybara's wait time out causing the tests to fail.
## What is the fix?
Since we can't rely on Capybara to close all the existing Capybara
connections, we manually execute a script to stop all MessageBus
connections after each system test.
```
for i in {1..10}; do
echo "Running iteration $i"
PARALLEL_TEST_PROCESSORS=8 CAPYBARA_DEFAULT_MAX_WAIT_TIME=10 bin/turbo_rspec --seed=34908 --profile --verbose --format documentation spec/system
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "Error encountered on iteration $i"
exit 1
fi
done
echo "All 10 iterations completed successfully"
```
Without the fix, the script fails consistently in the first few iterations. Running in non-headless mode with the "network" tab opened will reveal the requests that are marked as pending.
