How to use Rubymotion to test api without timeout exception

Question

I'm using Rubymotion and trying to write a test for an API method eg.

it "should call the api and return a result" do
   Omapi.now do |response|
     response.should.be.kind_of(Hash)
     resume
   end
   wait {}
end

and the method I'm calling

def now(&callback)           
  AFMotion::JSON.get(MY_URL) do |result|
    callback.call result
  end
end

Whether Im using AFMotion, Elevate or Bubblewrap, or different publicly available test endpoints - I always have the same response. ie. The api returns a result correctly but the test fails anyway with a timeout error.

#<AFMotion::HTTPResult:0x10d43e460 @operation=#<AFHTTPRequestOperation:0x114415c60> @object=[{"result"=>"ok"}] @error=nil>

[FAILED - timeout exceeded: omapi - should call the api]

Bacon::Error: timeout exceeded: omapi - should call the api spec.rb:404:in block in postponed_block_timeout_exceeded': omapi - should call the api spec.rb:459:inexecute_block' spec.rb:404:in `postponed_block_timeout_exceeded'

Is there any way to increase the timeout that the error refers to ?

Thanks

Try using the wait_max helper.

it "should call the api and return a result" do
  Omapi.now do |response|
    response.should.be.kind_of(Hash)
    resume
  end
  wait_max 20.0 {} # 20 seconds maximum
end
