"Timed out while running tests"

[sculpt0r]

I've just started receiving more and more timed out. TBH It is rare to run proper tests... My config:

process.env.TS_NODE_PROJECT = './tsconfig.test.json';

module.exports = {
    failWithoutAssertions: false,
    extensions: [ 'js', 'ts' ],
    files: [ './src/**/tests/**/*.ts', '!./src/**/tests/_utils/**/*.ts' ],
    require: [ 'ts-node/register', 'source-map-support/register' ]
};

I'm not sure what else I could add here - because there is no errors in the console, only

Increasing the timeout in config or in the single test does not help at all...

It looks like the async tests cause this trouble: test( '', async t => {} ): Running a single test without async works fine - and the results seem to appear exactly at the moment when the Timed out appears in async test 🤔

I've managed to stabilize tests by adding:

workerThreads: false,
timeout: '80s'

But I would rather say that it looks like a workaround rather than a solution. Does the test cases total amount, test files amount or test cases per file somehow impact the performance? And that might influence the amount of the timeout?

One additional thing: I'm managing the nodeJS versions via nvm.
