Lock unit test failing on Travis MacOS builder #8225
Description
It seems we have a failure on MacOS, started after we merged #7692 - see here for an example log. Not sure if the error is transient (i.e. due to Travis itself) or not, logging the failure here to have it on the records.
Expected Result
Green light from Travis
