We started seeing failures of WorkManagerStartWorkTestCase#testStartWorkFullSpecWithImmediateStartTimeout in our CI after upgrading to 3.0.8.Final in EAP.

The test was modified in this commit. 

The test passes locally, but that's just because the postRun check happens to run before the work instance manages to finish its run() method. On our medium jenkins workers this is not the case causing the test failures. Running in our CI with a larger HW configuration gets rid of the failure.

According to the WorkManager.html#startWork docs, it should reject the work instance if it's not started IMMEDIATELY. I don' see why the test should expect

assertFalse(work.hasPostRun())

the previous test code seems correct to me

workManager.startWork(work, WorkManager.IMMEDIATE, null, null);
done.await();
assertTrue(work.hasPostRun());
