If the async callback is not invoked within the specified timeout of 5000 ms, the test will fail with a timeout error. This error message can be used to identify the issue and debug the problem.

To address this issue, there are a few things that can be done:

  1. Verify that the async callback is being called correctly and evaluate the potential reasons for it not being called.

  2. Increase the timeout value in jest.setTimeout to allow more time for the async callback to complete.

  3. If the async callback is dependent on other functions or APIs, consider using mock functions that simulate the behavior of these dependencies in unit tests to isolate the problem.

  4. Use async/await syntax instead of callback functions to make the code more readable and easier to debug.

  5. Consider using a testing framework that can handle async operations more efficiently, such as Cypress or TestCafe.
