  createAt:{type: Date, required: true},
  author: {type: String, required:true}

}, {collection:'notes'});

mongoose.model('note', NoteSchema);

../noteApi

const router = express.Router();

router.post('/add', (req, res, next)=>{
  return noteDb.createNote(req.body)
    .then((done)=>{
      res.json(done);
    })
    .catch((err)=>{
      res.status(500).send();

..test/note.js

describe('/POST note add' , ()=>{
    it('it should POST test', (done)=>{

        description: "This is test for note api",
        color: "yellow",

      chai.request(server)
      .post('/add')
      .send(_note)
      .end((err, res)=>{
        res.should.have.status(200);
        res.body.should.be.a('object');
        //res.body.book.should.have.property('title');
        done();
      });
    });
  })

When testing, the following error occurs: Timeout of 10000ms exceeded. For async tests and hook...

Answer 1

By default, mocha tests have a 2 second timeout which means the test must be completed within 2 seconds. You can increment (in miliiseconds) like this: this.timeout(5000); This test may take up to 5 seconds. Try it. mochajs.org/#asynchronous-code
