Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A typical user mistake in unit tests which may be a little tricky for users to realize is forgetting to register workers on all the queues that participate in a unit test. This situation typically leads to a test timeout that has no useful information to understand the root cause.

Describe the solution you'd like
The test server may print warning log messages if there are tasks getting scheduled on a task queue that nobody listens on.

Research direction

Start by locating the Test Server implementation and the paths that schedule tasks and register workers on task queues. Reproduce a unit test where tasks are scheduled on a queue with no registered worker, then define completion as warning logs that identify the unserved queue before the test times out.
