How to increase timeout for a single test case in mocha

Question

I\'m submitting a network request in a test case, but this sometimes takes longer than 2 seconds (the default timeout).

How do I increase the timeout for a single te

Answer 1

If you wish to use es6 arrow functions you can add a .timeout(ms) to the end of your it definition:

it('should not timeout', (done) => {
    doLongThing().then(() => {
        done();
    });
}).timeout(5000);

At least this works in Typescript.
