--descriptor functional tests not working on osx #20296

I worked off of master and ran tests based on 95bde34a7186edb559efeeea7f2fbc0fbdd06273 and found that some descriptor tests are failing (not intermittent) on my laptop.

My machine: late 2019 macbook pro i9 2.4ghz 32gb ram 10.15.7 Catalina. New build, just installed dependencies. No other softwares other than Github, IDE's.

stack trace on feature_nulldummy.py --descriptor (base test passes):

Thanks for reporting, however this is a duplicate of #20183. You should be able to set a --timeout-factor and get them passing. Otherwise, lets continue discussion in that issue.
