[question]: closing http server

[FranciscoKloganB]

When I run my test suites and I start an HTTP Server, the tests hang and never exit.

This causes issues with daily development and Agent based development.

How could I modify the snippet below to close the server?

export const configureSuite: Config['configureSuite'] = (suite) => {
  switch (suite.name) {
    case 'others...': {
        someSetup()
        break
     }
    case 'api': {
      suite.setup(() => testUtils.db().migrate())
      suite.setup(() => testUtils.httpServer().start())
      suite.teardown(() => testUtils.db().truncate())
      break
    }
    default: {
      throw new Error(`Unknown test suite: "${suite.name}".`)
    }
  }
}

An approach similar to the one added by the scaffholder, documented at https://japa.dev/docs/test-suites#lifecycle-hooks, does not work because httpServer() from test utils does not return a close method.

@FranciscoKloganB Can you please share a reproduction for the same? Because, using the testUtils.httpServer().start hook at the suite level should work.

Hello @thetutlage you can close this thread. I don't know exactly what I changed in my setup, but it's no longer hanging. I forgot to report back to you.
