mocha selenium test simple example not working - selenium

Question

I am trying to get an understanding of how to use mocha and selenium together. I found a simple tutorial but as soon as it starts I get the following error
Google Search
1) should work
0 passing (2s)
1 failing
1) Google Search should work:
Error: timeout of 2000ms exceeded
at null.<anonymous> (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/mocha/lib/runnable.js:157:19)
at Timer.listOnTimeout [as ontimeout] (timers.js:112:15)
Here is the code that I have
var assert = require('assert'),
test = require('selenium-webdriver/testing'),
webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver');
test.describe('Google Search', function() {
test.it('should work', function() {
var driver = new webdriver.Builder().
withCapabilities(webdriver.Capabilities.firefox()).
build();
driver.get('http://www.google.com');
var searchBox = driver.findElement(webdriver.By.name('q'));
searchBox.sendKeys('simple programmer');
searchBox.getAttribute('value').then(function(value) {
assert.equal(value, 'simple programmer');
});
driver.quit();
});
});
So I ran the following command to test selenium-webdriver and it fails only for mocha
npm test selenium-webdriver
Error I get
1) Mocha Integration it properly allows timeouts and cancels control flow :
Error: timeout of 1000ms exceeded

Answer 1

You can increase the timeout by calling this.timeout(5000) either in the describe function or in the it function.
