I also have seen failures like this in CFFI tests:

         lp.sec("ac2_offl: going online, checking the 'member added' message")
        ac2_offl.start_io()
        # Receive "Member Me (<addr>) added by <addr>." message.
        msg_in = ac2_offl._evtracker.wait_next_incoming_message()
>       contact = msg_in.get_sender_contact()
E       AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_sender_contact'

         lp.sec("ac2_offl: receiving message")
        ev = ac2_offl._evtracker.get_matching("DC_EVENT_INCOMING_MSG|DC_EVENT_MSGS_CHANGED")
        msg_in = ac2_offl.get_message_by_id(ev.data2)

I guess unwrap_or_log_default() logs the error to the event channel, but test finishes before the error is read and logged into pytest output, so actual error is not visible. Could be "database is locked" internally: #6066

Have run the test over 100 times and couldn't reproduce. Though the original failure is reported for macOS and i run on Linux, let's close this and reopen if it happens again.
