I'm doing e2e and bdd tests using Angular 5, Protractor and Cucumber. When I run on terminal ng e2e I get the following error:
When I open the page # e2e\steps\home.steps.ts:15
Error: function timed out, ensure the promise resolves within 5000 milliseconds
In the line 15, I have:
When(/^I open the page$/, async () => {
await browser.get('http://localhost:49156');
});
Specifically, it is the line:
When(/^I open the page$/, async () => {
Te answer is very simple. By default, Cucumber takes 5000ms for asynchronous hooks, but we can configure it by doing this:
When(/^I open the page$/, {timeout: 2 * 5000}, async () => {
It is even possible to configure it globally.
var {setDefaultTimeout} = require('cucumber');
setDefaultTimeout(60 * 1000);
More info: https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-js/blob/master/docs/support_files/timeouts.md
Another thing, I configured the port badly, as you can see, I configured it on port 49156 because I had read that it was the default port, but it seems that has already changed and is now port 49152.
Adding to Ricky's answer.
When(/^I open the page$/, {timeout: 2 * 5000}, async () => {
await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 5000)); // wait for 5000 ms
})
The cucumber takes by-default 5000ms for asynchronous calls. We can modify this in the below-mentioned manner. This should go under the support directory in your framework for better practice. Try using this:
const { setDefaultTimeout } = require('@cucumber/cucumber');
setDefaultTimeout(parseInt(process.env.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT) || 60000);
