mocha - wait for a minute before executing test

I have a situation where the test needs to wait for a minute to execute. Tried below code but it doesn't work:



describe('/incidents/:incidentId/feedback', async function feedback() {
it('creates and update', async function updateIncident() {
// this works fine
});

// need to wait here for a minute before executing below test
it('check incident has no feedback', function checkFeedback(done){
setTimeout(function(){
const result = send({
user: 'Acme User',
url: `/incidents/${createdIncident.id}/feedback`,
method: 'get',
});
console.log(result);
expect(result.response.statusCode).to.equal(200);
expect(result.response.hasFeedback).to.equal(false);
done();
}, 1000*60*1);
});
});


Here, send() returns Promise. I tried with async await but it didn't work.



How do I make test wait for a minute before executing ?

  • If you are waiting on something to be updated from another test, you're doing it wrong.

If promises are used, they preferably shouldn't be mixed with plain callbacks.



const wait = ms => new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));

...

it('check incident has no feedback', async function checkFeedback(){
this.timeout(1.33 * 60 * 1000);

await wait(1 * 60 * 1000);
const result = await send(...);
...
});

  • Tried this. it throws an error Error: Timeout of 20000ms exceeded. For async tests and hooks, ensure "done()" is called; if returning a Promise, ensure it resolves..

    This is a different issue. This means that you need to increase a timeout before using such long delays. See for reference, stackoverflow.com/questions/15971167/…
