Frantisek Sumsal ed0727fecd test: sync the journal before checking it for ordering cycle messages
Otherwise we might get an empty match:

TEST-03-JOBS.sh[100]: + IDS_FILE=/tmp/TEST-03-JOBS-CYCLE-IDS-30241
TEST-03-JOBS.sh[314]: + varlinkctl call /run/systemd/io.systemd.Manager io.systemd.Manager.Describe '{}'
TEST-03-JOBS.sh[315]: + jq .runtime.TransactionsWithOrderingCycle
TEST-03-JOBS.sh[316]: ++ jq length /tmp/TEST-03-JOBS-CYCLE-IDS-30241
TEST-03-JOBS.sh[100]: + [[ 20 -ge 20 ]]
TEST-03-JOBS.sh[100]: + for i in {0..19}
TEST-03-JOBS.sh[317]: ++ jq -r '.[0]' /tmp/TEST-03-JOBS-CYCLE-IDS-30241
TEST-03-JOBS.sh[100]: + journalctl -b TRANSACTION_ID=48 --grep 'cycle starting with'
TEST-03-JOBS.sh[318]: -- No entries --
[FAILED] Failed to start TEST-03-JOBS.service - TEST-03-JOBS.
[  !!  ] Exiting: unit TEST-03-JOBS.service failed

Even though the message was properly emitted:

$ journalctl --file TEST-03-JOBS-1.journal -b TRANSACTION_ID=48 --grep 'cycle starting with'
