Troubleshoot TravisCI build randomly failing (local build works)

[aschrijver]

TravisCI build fails with NPE in tearDown() of tests:

io.engagingspaces.graphql.servicediscovery.publisher.SchemaPublisherTest > should_Publish_Schema_Definition FAILED

    java.lang.NullPointerException

Had to upgrade to latest Gradle 3.5 version (from 2.14) for Travis wrapper to fix the issue.

Successful build was short-lived. After commit https://github.com/engagingspaces/vertx-graphql-service-discovery/commit/2f1be1fcd7b6dfb7caaab63cea66557ee18f332e the remote build fails again with unhelpful message > There were failing tests. See the report at: file:///home/travis/build/engagingspaces/vertx-graphql-service-discovery/graphql-service-publisher/build/reports/tests/test/index.html

It appears to fail randomly. Restarting the build will sometimes yield success, or it fails with above message.
