How do I change the timeout on a jasmine-node async spec

Question

How can I get this test to pass without resorting to runs/waitsFor blocks?

it(\"cannot change timeout\", function(done) {

     request(\"http://localhost:30         


        

Answer 1

Sent pull request for this feature (https://github.com/mhevery/jasmine-node/pull/142)

it("cannot change timeout", function(done) {

  request("http://localhost:3000/hello", function(error, response, body){

     expect(body).toEqual("hello world");

     done();
  });

}, 5000); // set timeout to 5 seconds

Answer 2

Put it after describe statement:

describe("A saves to DB", function() {
    jasmine.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL = 10000;

Answer 3

Why not by spying on setTimeout()?

Something like:

var spy = spyOn(window, 'setTimeout').andCallFake(function (func, timeout) {
    expect(timeout).toEqual(2500);
    func();
});

setTimeOut(function () { ... }, 2500);
expect(spy).toHaveBeenCalled();

Looks like you can now add it as the last argument for the it function:

describe('my test', function(){
    it('works', function(done){
        somethingAsync().then(done);
    }, 10000); // changes to 10 seconds
});
