Protractor and Cucumber: function timed out using async/await

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 () => {
Solution

  • The answer is very simple. By default, Cucumber takes 5000 ms 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 information: Timeouts

    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.
