How do I handle timeouts in Jest async tests?

How do I handle timeouts in Jest async tests?

In Jest, you can set a timeout for async tests using the jest.setTimeout() function. By default, Jest has a timeout of 5 seconds.

What if my test needs more time than the default?

You can increase the timeout by calling jest.setTimeout(newTimeoutInMilliseconds) at the beginning of your test or in a beforeAll block.

Can I set different timeouts for different tests?

Yes, you can set different timeouts for individual tests by passing the timeout as the second argument to the test function.

Is there a way to handle timeouts for promises specifically?

Yes, you can wrap your promise in a function that rejects after a certain time, allowing you to handle timeouts more gracefully.
