Describe the issue you encountered:
You can view any build in travis-ci.org and you'll notice that only 1 test is ran, which is a find bar test. I reproduced this on my local machine (macOS)

@bsclifton I also noticed that. It all started here

The first commit that fails is this:
08213f2

[bsclifton]

Possible clue
The ones which work were checking out dev-channel:
git clone --depth=50 --branch=dev-channel https://github.com/brave/browser-laptop.git brave/browser-laptop

while the ones failing are checking out master

I think this might have something to do with it:
e12fca0#diff-b9cfc7f2cdf78a7f4b91a753d10865a2

From the console:

    ERROR in aboutPages.entry.js from UglifyJs
    SyntaxError: Unexpected token: name (length) [./~/punycode/punycode.js:55,0]

Things I've tried (which did not work... even though it works locally on my mac w/ node v6.3)

• adding a query section with es2015
• bumping the node version up to 6.3

I believe the tests not running is fixed with 79c38f5 cc: @bbondy

Perhaps the above error is not related? Although, I do think it's the cause of the problem @srirambv has (where about pages are not working)

Looks like this can be closed now that tests are all running again. https://travis-ci.org/brave/browser-laptop/builds

re: the punycode module, i added it because NPM docs say that the core module is now deprecated, but it's not strictly needed for any reason yet.

@diracdeltas yup- I did see that, and it looks like you did it properly... I'm curious why the webpack uglify plugin is complaining ☹️
