i get timout error
Describe your issue in detail here.

hi when i try to submit my code i get the timout error but i don t get why. also the page doesn t show on but i see no error in the console (only error for after because i still didn t pass the next tests: here is my code so far :

const chai = require('chai');
const assert = chai.assert;

const server = require('../server');

const chaiHttp = require('chai-http');
chai.use(chaiHttp);

suite('Functional Tests', function () {
  this.timeout(5000);
  suite('Integration tests with chai-http', function () {
    // #1
    test('Test GET /hello with no name', function (done) {
      chai
        .request(server)
        .keepOpen()
        .get('/hello')
        .end(function (err, res) {
          assert.equal(res.status, 200);
          assert.equal(res.text, 'hello Guest');
          done();
        });
    });
    // #2
    test('Test GET /hello with your name', function (done) {
      chai
        .request(server)
        .keepOpen()
        .get('/hello?name=xy_z')
        .end(function (err, res) {
          assert.equal(res.status, 200);
          assert.equal(res.text, 'hello xy_z');
          done();
        });
    });
    // #3
    test('Send {surname: "Colombo"}', function (done) {
      chai
        .request(server)
        .keepOpen()
        .put('/travellers')
        .send({surname: 'Colombo'})
        .end(function (err, res) {
          assert.equal(res.status, 200);
          assert.equal(res.type, 'application/json');
          assert.equal(res.body.name, 'Cristoforo');
          assert.equal(res.body.surname, 'Colombo')

          done();
        });
    });
    // #4
 test('send {surname: "da Verrazzano"}', function(done) {
  chai
    .request(server)
    .put('/travellers')
    .send({ surname: 'da Verrazzano' })
    .end(function(err, res) {
      assert.equal(res.status, 200);
      assert.equal(res.type, 'application/json');
      assert.equal(res.body.name, 'Giovanni');
      assert.equal(res.body.surname, 'da Verrazzano');
      
      done();
    });
  });
    
 });
});

const Browser = require('zombie');

suite('Functional Tests with Zombie.js', function () {
  this.timeout(5000);



  suite('Headless browser', function () {
    test('should have a working "site" property', function() {
      assert.isNotNull(browser.site);
    });
  });

  suite('"Famous Italian Explorers" form', function () {
    // #5
    test('Submit the surname "Colombo" in the HTML form', function (done) {
      assert.fail();

      done();
    });
    // #6
    test('Submit the surname "Vespucci" in the HTML form', function (done) {
      assert.fail();

      done();
     });
    });
  });

Test Time out - Quality Assurance

Try removing this.timeout(5000) (or whatever you have it set to). You may have to run it a few times, when it passes leave it running and submit the URL. The tests are a little flaky on Replit. If it doesn’t work, doing it locally is an option (and always works in my experience).

I’ve edited your code for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (').

HI there! I ran into the same issue with my code during this challenge. My code was enter correctly but I kept getting the timeout error & my code wouldn’t pass as well. After racking my brain over it for awhile (lol) I finally figured out that the error wasn’t my code at all. I found that there were some missing brackets at the very end of the entire page, i.e. line 98.

},)})

These were missing at the end/bottom of the page. Once I added these, my code passed.
There was a little red triangle at the end of the page indicating the error. That’s how I finally figured out the issue.
Hope this helps!

The boilerplate code does not have syntax errors so it must be an error you introduced.
