Laika broke with 0.8.1

[AdamBrodzinski]

After i've updated my app to 0.8.1.1, my tests hang and timeout. I can make them pass by changing .meteor/release to 0.8.0.1. From what I can tell, it's only affected by the client tests.

I've also replicated this by cloning down hello-laika. I pasted the output below:

hello-laika-master|⇒ laika -v
0.3.9
hello-laika-master|⇒ laika

  injecting laika...
  loading phantomjs...
  loading initial app pool...

    ✓ using two clients

hello-laika-master|⇒ meteor update
hello-laika-master: updated to Meteor 0.8.1.1.

-- Notice --

0.8.0: Meteor has a new live templating engine: Blaze!
       See https://github.com/meteor/meteor/wiki/Using-Blaze for what's new.

change release back to 0.8.0.1

I hope this helps!

Perhaps this is from a change with 'css-stringify'.

Hey Adam please take a look at issue #77 that was closed a while ago. I wonder if third test failing is related to this somehow? Adding in server side evals which do nothing on each test that uses only client calls allows the tests to pass, but they take around 1.3 seconds to complete which is pretty long.

@Linskeyd I just tried that but it doesn't make a difference.

However.... while trying that, one time I started up mongod without the --smallfiles --noprealloc --nojournal and they all passed 😄 Thanks!

passing:
mongod

client tests fail:
mongod --smallfiles --noprealloc --nojournal

@AdamBrodzinski It worked for me too!! Thanks 😄
