Hello,

I think, instead of disabling the test or trying to make it work with 
emacs 27, I'd like to update emacs-ess to a more recent version. Right 
now it's using the latest tagged release (18.10.2), which was from 2018, 
but there's been active development on the github repo since then. I can 
take the latest commit and give it a version number based on the commit 
time, similar to how it's done on melpa (20200903.1516). I'll try making 
a patch to update it to that version.
