Issue: I cannot override the default timeout of 40000ms when testing using rinkeby network. I'm getting the error of Timeout of 40000ms exceeded. (Error: Timeout of 40000ms exceeded. For async tests and hooks, ensure "done()" is called; if returning a Promise,...) I didn't test with other json-rpc network such as kovan so I can't be certain the issue is present there too

Background: my solidity code is a simple lottery setup and is connected to chainlink oracle to determine usd/eth exchange. I can confirm my solidity code is fine because the test sometimes run fine and is able to return me those values I have consoled.log. Other time, it just give a timeout error

unless the way I setup my test is incorrect, then I think the issue lies in the timeout. Anyone can advise on this? Thanks

    maybe you need to change the mocha timeout in hardhat config file mocha: { timeout: <time in milli second>, },

setting mocha timeout helped in my case (in hardhat.config.js)

module.exports = {
...
  mocha: {
    timeout: 100000000
  },
...
}

Example of increasing timeout for a particular test:

    it('test ...', async function () {
        .....
    }).timeout(1000000);
