Jest has detected the following 1 open handle potentially keeping Jest from exiting if I use ts-jest and webpack node.js api

Trying to write a test for webpack 4 plugin, using webpack node.js API, but 1 console message haunts me. Here is a simple code for my test using jest:

webpack4.test.ts:

import path from 'path';
import webpack from 'webpack';

describe('webpack', () => {
  test('should pass with simplest config', (done) => {
    const compiler = webpack({
      mode: 'none',
      entry: path.resolve(__dirname, 'entry.ts'),
    });

    compiler.run((err, stats) => {
      if (err) {
        throw new Error(err.message);
      }

      expect(2).toBe(2);
      done();
    });
  });
});

entry.ts:

const b = 1;

If I run this code using jest in console, it passes, bundle file is created, but a warning message is shown:

A worker process has failed to exit gracefully and has been force exited. This is likely caused by tests leaking due to improper teardown. Try running with --detectOpenHandles to find leaks.

If I run jest --detectOpenHandles, another message is shown.

Jest has detected the following 1 open handle potentially keeping Jest from exiting:

● Timeout

  12 |       if (err) {
  13 |         throw new Error(err.message);
> 14 |       }
     |        ^
  15 |
  16 |       expect(2).toBe(2);
  17 |       done();

Looks like I am missing something but I have no ideas, what is the reason if this message, need your help. Thank you!

Solution

After ton of experiments I found an easy decision, which helps me (500ms wasn`t enough for my environment):

afterAll(async () => {
  // avoid jest open handle error
  await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(() => resolve(''), 1000));
});
