Jest: Exceeded timeout of 5000ms for a test

[joseluisq]

Due that Jest is automatic in Codesandbox. It would be great if you can provide the option to increase the timeout.

https://codesandbox.io/s/github/joseluisq/hyperapp-starter

Exceeded timeout of 5000ms for a test.
Use jest.setTimeout(newTimeout) to increase the timeout value, if this is a long-running test.

Error: Exceeded timeout of 5000ms for a test.

Hey! Few things -

• I don't know how that example link is related to your problem because there are no test suites.

• We can set a default timeout value in TestRunner. The default provided in Jest is 5 seconds. We can extend that.

• Last thing, adding an option for changing timeouts frequently will cause a memory leak

I have updated the link:

We can set a default timeout value in TestRunner. The default provided in Jest is 5 seconds. We can extend that.

How can we extend that?

What do you suggest?
Here you have the same app tested using Travis CI:
https://travis-ci.org/joseluisq/hyperapp-starter/jobs/401018541#L457

Give me a little bit of time to search into this and see if I can extend the default timeout value. If I succeed, then I am sure I'll able to resolve memory issue too.

Have you tried extending the timeout value using jest.setTimeout(value) inside your test file ?

yes, It doesn't work

my tests are running smoothly when I'm not in headless mode .
as soon as I try with headless i get this error:
Timeout - Async callback was not invoked within the 5000ms timeout specified by jest.setTimeout.
increasing and decreasing the slowMo I understood that it needs to be faster then setTimeout .
but I still can't get rid of this error message .

This issue is stale because it has been open many days with no activity. It will be closed soon unless the stale label is removed or a comment is made.

This issue has been automatically closed because there wasn't any activity after the previous notice or the stale label wasn't removed.

Was there ever any development on this?

seconded, this is a problem for tests including deployed smart contracts.
