timeout( duration )

Sets the length of time to wait for async operations before failing the test.

name description
duration (Number) The length of time, in milliseconds, to wait for async operations.

Description

assert.timeout() sets the length of time, in milliseconds, to wait for async operations in the current test. This is equivalent to setting config.testTimeout on a per-test basis. The timeout length only applies when performing async operations.

If 0 is passed, then the test will be assumed to be completely synchronous. If a non-numeric value is passed as an argument, the function will throw an error.

Examples

QUnit.test( "Waiting for focus event", function( assert ) {
  assert.timeout( 1000 ); // Timeout of 1 second
  var done = assert.async();
  var input = $( "#test-input" ).focus();
  setTimeout(function() {
    assert.equal( document.activeElement, input[0], "Input was focused" );
    done();
  });
});

QUnit.test( "Waiting for async function", function( assert ) {
  assert.timeout( 500 ); // Timeout of .5 seconds
  var promise = asyncFunction();
  return promise.then( function( result ) {
    assert.ok( result );
  } );
});

QUnit.test( "Waiting in an async test", async assert => {
  assert.timeout( 500 ); // Timeout of .5 seconds

  let result = await asyncFunction();
  assert.ok( result );
});
