To add a global wait in Mocha tests, you can use Mocha's before and after hooks to run a function before and after the test suite, respectively. Within these hooks, you can add a setTimeout function to create a delay for all tests.


Here's an example of how you can add a global wait of 1 second to all tests in your Mocha test suite:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
before(function(done) {
  // Add a delay of 1 second before running the test suite
  setTimeout(function() {
    done();
  }, 1000);
});

after(function() {
  // Cleanup after all tests have run
});

// Your Mocha test cases go here
describe('Test suite', function() {
  it('should do something', function() {
    // Test code here
  });
});


By using the before hook with a setTimeout function, you can add a global wait before running the test suite. This delay will apply to all tests within the suite.
