Mocha failed assertion causing timeout

Question

I'm getting started with mocha testing framework with NodeJS. Success assertions working fine but if the assertion fails, my test timeouts. For asserting I've tried Should and Expect. For example (async code)

  it('should create new user', function(done){
    userService.create(user).then(function(model){
      expect(model.id).to.be(1); //created user ID
      done();
    }, done)
  });

Here the if model id is not 1 then the test timesout instead of reporting failed assertion. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. Appreciate your help. Thanks!

Shawn's answer works, but there is a simpler way.

If you return the Promise from your test, Mocha will handle everything for you:

it('should create new user', function() {
  return userService.create(user).then(function(model){
    expect(model.id).to.be(1); //created user ID
  });
});

No done callback needed!
