Tests are hanging (ChutzpahTimeoutException)

Question

I've installed Chutzpah and ran it a couple of times in my computer, then I restarted and I get this sort of error when trying to run either from extension in Visual Studio or command:

>chutzpah.console /wait /path C:\Projects\CP\Testing\RESAAS.JavaScriptTestSuite\Specs

If I click on a single test on one file in Visual Studio and ask it to run in browser it actually execute correctly, but since we got 100+ files I can't use this method for all files.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated. It seems quite hard to find a reference online.

Answer 1

Just jumped back all the way to version 1.4 (to match my colleague) and the bug is all gone, since I am not using any new feature it is fine.

Answer 2

In 2.0 version there is /timeoutMilliseconds option. Set this to a higher value, default is 5000 (ms)
