Program times out.

Running test 24: spawn.J
Spawn location for J
---- sending commands ----
cJPq
---- awaiting results ----
Test 24 failed:

Program times out and does not return 'actual output' and 'expected output'. This is not the only occurrence, it happens for other tests as well.

This error is saying your implementation isn't halting properly when testris tries to run it. Perhaps your 'q' command is broken.

Or you're running under python3 and haven't pulled in 647916e from 2 weeks ago.

My suggestion is, even if the test fails or times out, it should still print the 'expected output' and the 'description'.
..............................................................................................................
Expected Output:
The matrix with the spawned block.

Description:
Spawn location for J
Here's the spawn location for J.

Notice that there are no spaces between the commands
this time. We said earlier that commands may be separated
by spaces or newlines, but we never said they had to be.

So that the individual who is working on the test. knows what they are working towards.

Possibly also a message explaining what 'program timed out' means and what to do next (such as, error in code, go over it again).
