No releaseLease/destroyLease event found for environment ${e

Error message

No releaseLease/destroyLease event found for environment ${environmentId}

What it means

Test-helper assertion in assertLeaseLifecycle: an acquireLease event exists but no matching 'releaseLease' or 'destroyLease' event was ever recorded for the environmentId. The plugin under test acquired a lease but never released or destroyed it, i.e. the lifecycle is incomplete or leaking the lease.
