How to increase timeout for a single test case in mocha

I'm submitting a network request in a test case, but this sometimes takes longer than 2 seconds (the default timeout).

How do I increase the timeout for a single test case?

Solution 1:

Here you go: http://mochajs.org/#test-level

it('accesses the network', function(done){
  this.timeout(500);
  [Put network code here, with done() in the callback]
})

For arrow function use as follows:

it('accesses the network', (done) => {
  [Put network code here, with done() in the callback]
}).timeout(500);

Solution 2:

If you wish to use es6 arrow functions you can add a .timeout(ms) to the end of your it definition:

it('should not timeout', (done) => {
    doLongThing().then(() => {
        done();
    });
}).timeout(5000);

At least this works in Typescript.
