#testTimeout

• Type: number
• Default: 5_000 (15_000 in Browser Mode)
• CLI: --testTimeout=5000

Default timeout of a test in milliseconds. 0 will disable the timeout.

npx rstest --testTimeout=5000

import { defineConfig } from '@rstest/core';

export default defineConfig({
  testTimeout: 5000,
});

Rstest determines the test timeout based on the following priority order:

1. timeout configuration in each test case
2. Timeout configured in the test file via rs.setConfig({ testTimeout })
3. --testTimeout option in CLI
4. testTimeout option in the configuration file
5. Default value of 5000 milliseconds (15000 milliseconds in Browser Mode). Browser Mode also uses a 5000 milliseconds default for expect.poll.timeout; Node Mode uses 1000 milliseconds.
