My guess is that you are talking about this failure[1]. Looking at the
Sauce Labs screencast, it looks to me that labs was just slow to respond
and the test failed after 5 seconds with pretty descriptive error
message[2]. It is hard for me to say why labs is slow. As Antoine has
suggested, looking at logs for that date/time could help.

If that happens a lot, a short workaround would be to make the test wait
for 10 seconds instead of 5.

2: timed out after 5 seconds, waiting for {:css=>".wikitext-editor",
:tag_name=>"textarea"} to become present (Watir::Wait::TimeoutError)
