Ava skips next tests in file if a previous test timeouts #3165
Description
In our test suite we have multiple test(...) tests per file. We are using Selenium to drive a browser in these tests.
Sometimes a test runs longer than the specified timeout.
I noticed that in such case all the remaining tests in the file will be skipped and a "X tests were pending in example-file.js" message will be printed to output.
I expected only the slow test to timeout and the remaining tests to run.
ava.config.js:
export default {
concurrency: 1,
files: [
'test-a.test.js',
'test-b.test.js',
],
serial: true,
timeout: '2s',
verbose: true,
};Same happens with both Ava 4.2.0 and 5.1.1.

AVA's timeout detection works by tracking how long it's been since there was last an "event" coming out of a test worker. If that takes too long, the worker is stopped.
Your setup executes tests serially, so subsequent tests are not run.
I think if you'd use
t.timeout()within the test, then that specific test would time out but the rest would continue running.
