There were two issues with the test: 1. A race between a race_condition.inc and status variable, where the status variable Rpl_semi_sync_master_status could be ON before the semi-sync connection finished establishing, resulting in Rpl_semi_sync_master_clients showing 0 (instead of 1). To fix this, we simply instead wait for Rpl_semi_sync_master_clients to be 1 before proceeding. 2. Another race between a race_condition.inc and status variable, where the wait_condition waited on a process_list command of 'BINLOG DUMP' to disappear to infer the binlog dump thread was killed, to where we then verified semi-sync state was correct using status variables. However, the 'BINLOG DUMP' command is overridden with a killed status before the semi-sync tear-down happens, and thereby we could see invalid values. The fix for this is to change the wait_condition to instead wait for the connection with the replication user is gone, because that stays through the binlog dump thread tear-down life-cycle

MariaDB: The innovative open source database
MariaDB was designed as a drop-in replacement of MySQL(R) with more features, new storage engines, fewer bugs, and better performance.
MariaDB is brought to you by the MariaDB Foundation and the MariaDB Corporation. Please read the CREDITS file for details about the MariaDB Foundation, and who is developing MariaDB.
MariaDB is developed by many of the original developers of MySQL who now work for the MariaDB Corporation, the MariaDB Foundation and by many people in the community.
MySQL, which is the base of MariaDB, is a product and trademark of Oracle Corporation, Inc. For a list of developers and other contributors, see the Credits appendix. You can also run 'SHOW authors' to get a list of active contributors.
A description of the MariaDB project and a manual can be found at:

Getting the code, building it and testing it
Refer to the following guide: https://mariadb.org/get-involved/getting-started-for-developers/get-code-build-test/ which outlines how to build the source code correctly and run the MariaDB testing framework, as well as which branch to target for your contributions.
