Hi,

Sometimes we are seeing errors running synthetics where the test appears to have succeeded but some internal operation fails and subsequently fails the test.

Hi @jasonwhetton - this is an issue with the synthetics agent we are actively investigating at the moment. We'll reply back afterwards when we have a fix ready.

We merged [a fix](https://github.com/elastic/synthetics/pull/719), but the source of this behavior is actually down at the chromium level. You can track the status of that bug [here](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1427331).

We may merge additional fixes to work around this issue in the meantime as well.

Hi @jasonwhetton,

We have rolled out a fix on all our Global Synthetics regions. Please do let us know if you run in to any other issues.

Thanks,
