How to set a max timeout for Jest test running Puppeteer?

Question

Tried looking through the docs, but didn't find a way to set a max timeout for a test case. Seems like a simple feature.

import puppeteer from 'puppeteer'

test('App loads', async() => {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch({ headless: false, slowMo: 250 });
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.goto('http://localhost:3000');
  await browser.close();
});

Answer 1

Jest's test(name, fn, timeout) function can take a 3rd parameter that specifies a custom timeout.

test('example', async () => {
  ...
}, 1000); // timeout of 1s (default is 5s)

You can also set the timeout globally for a suite using jest.setTimeout(10000); in the beforeAll() function:

beforeAll(async () => {

    jest.setTimeout(10000); // change timeout to 10 seconds

});
