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

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

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

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

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

         done();
     });
});

To do this globally for all of your tests (in the case of e2e or integration testing) you can use a helper.

A helper file when configured correctly should get loaded before the tests are executed and allow you to change the DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL globally:

spec/support/jasmine.json

{
    ...
    "helpers": [
        "/path/to/helpers/**/*.ts"
    ]
}

helpers/timeout.ts

jasmine.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL = 300000;

In my case I had multiple tests cases and while I was using the aforementioned solution with was using the:

    beforeEach(function() {
        originalTimeout = jasmine.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL;
        jasmine.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL = 10000;
    });

the DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL was not updated at the first test case, so I had to add this:

  beforeAll(() => {
    jasmine.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL = 10000;
  })

to my code to successfully run all the tests.

Put it after describe statement:

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

In Angular, put this outside your describe block:

jasmine.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL = 10000;

This applies to all the tests in the .spec.ts file

Adding: jasmine.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL = yourTime; on a helper file worked for me.

You can (now) set it directly in the spec, as per Jasmine docs.

describe("long asynchronous specs", function() {

    var originalTimeout;

    beforeEach(function() {
        originalTimeout = jasmine.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL;
        jasmine.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL = 10000;
    });

    it("takes a long time", function(done) {
        setTimeout(function() {
            done();
        }, 9000);
    });

    afterEach(function() {
        jasmine.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL = originalTimeout;
    });
});

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
});

To set the global Jasmine-Node timeout, do this:

jasmine.getEnv().defaultTimeoutInterval = timeoutYouWouldPrefer;// e.g. 15000 milliseconds

Credit to developer Gabe Hicks for figuring out the .getEnv() part via debugging in spite of misinformation in the README doc which claims it's done by setting jasmine.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL.

If you want to set a custom timeout just for one it(), you could try passing the timeout (milliseconds) as a third argument (after the string statement and the function). There's an example of that being done here, but I'm not sure what would happen if the custom timeout was longer than Jasmine's default. I expect it would fail.

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

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();
