[Bug 1871610] [NEW] autopkgtest: jstest in sphinx-doc test times out

[James Page]

Public bug reported:

The sphinx-doc autopkgtest is currently failing as the jstest component
times out waiting for the search results to be evaluated.

I added a bit of debug to the Browser class to see what was happening:

gi.repository.GLib.Error: WebKitJavascriptError: file:///usr/share/doc
/sphinx-doc/html/search.html?q=example:1:80: TypeError: null is not an
object (evaluating '$('#search-results > p:first').text().match(/found
(\d+) page/)[1]') (699)

It would appear that the actual search is not being executed so the
parsing of the results continues to fail until the 40 second timeout is
hit.

http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/s/sphinx

The test has been failing since 30/03/2020 and is blocking a few other
packages from migration to the proposed pocket:

1.8.5-5 python-docutils/0.16+dfsg-2     2020-03-30 01:12:02 UTC 0h 11m
11s

Manually testing the search page - it appears to function correctly.
