10 minutes is the default timeout, so that's why that run failed. 5 minutes, the time shown above, is an extraordinarily long time to take to run this test. On my laptop the test takes about one minute. I don't think there is any deep problem here, I think your machines are just much slower than expected. Or, rather, if there is a deep problem, it is something causing the test to run much longer than expected.
