Hi Melwyn,
Such behavior could happen if there is some kind of popup opened that prevents the job from exiting.
We are using Xvnc and in such cases we connect to the open session and check what is opened.
You may also check the recent changes to your plugin and its tests. An option is also to try to isolate the test causing the issue.
Also as an workaround you may put a job timeout, but it is preferable to find out and fix the cause.
Kind Regards,
Alex

Initially we were thinking that the problem is with the virtual display which we started with Xvfb process but then simple SWTBot testcase with just 2-5 lines works without any issues and anything more than 5 lines the entire build gets

Does the same build command works and runs tests correctly locally?
I guess it's not a matter of number of lines, but rather of what it is actually done. For example, all methods related to mouse seems to fail against some X server implementations. It's indeed possible that Xvfb has a bug, you could try Xvnc instead (which
isn't free of bugs neither).
