Answer 1

I would like to add (this is a bit long for a comment) that even with a timeout of 3000 my tests would still sometimes (randomly) fail with

Thanks to Tarun's great answer, I think the shortest way to fix a lot of tests is:

describe('puppeteer tests', () => {

  });

  test('best jest test fest', async () => {
    // Blah
  });
});
