Need to set Timeout at testcase level (it block or .cy file level)

[varikaurtest]

I am trying to use the suggestion as given in #9009 (comment)

but getting below error, is cypress capable of stopping test case execution after a certain timeinterval?

Playwright implemented this recently (https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/releases/tag/v1.50.0)

Hi @alexsch01 Thanks for the information on playwright, but my framework is implemented in Cypress, so looking to enhance that.

@varikaurtest yes, I didn't mean for it to sound like I was telling you to switch to Playwright. I meant that since Playwright (a competitor to Cypress) implemented this feature, it could be a good idea for Cypress

@varikaurtest, just pointing out that testTimeout is defined here in the example you are using. Maybe you forgot to include it in your project.

Thanks @mschile , got the solution in the same project.

Although i am unblocked now, still wondering if there is a way we can set it in config to get it applied to all test cases at once?

I have hundreds of test cases (each .cy file has only 1 test case i.e. IT block), so would require to apply timeout on all of these at once.

@varikaurtest, in your support file, you should be able to listen to the test:before:run event and call the function there to have it apply to every test:

Cypress.on('test:before:run', () => {
  testTimeout(2 * 1000)
})
