Link "Test Cable" stuck

I've been using Oculus Link successfully, but out of curiosity I tried the "Test Cable" feature, and it's been stuck on "Calculating..." for over an hour.

Has anyone seen it succeed?

Oculus Desktop 15.0.0.161.456
Headset version (reported via mobile app) 555180.17340.0
Quest software version (reported via Oculus Desktop) 204361943

I'm using the 10' Anker cable.

@Umpa_PC are you suggesting that I'm encountering one of the rollout-stopping bugs?

That could certainly be the case. I don't know if they've disclosed what the particular bugs are.

Still, I'm interested to hear if anyone has seen "Test Cable" finish successfully.

Yes, I would imagine thats whats happening.  FWIW I don't even see the test cable option.  If I do I will be sure to post my results.

Conclusion!

@Umpa_PC was right. After getting the second 15.x update to both the Quest and Oculus Desktop, "Test Cable" now works.
