Research direction

Start by reproducing the delay with the provided CodeceptJS configuration and --verbose output, focusing on the Puppeteer helper and the teardown hook. Compare runs that finish quickly with those that remain after “finished teardown hook”; done means the test process exits promptly for both passing and failing tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

stale
What are you trying to achieve?

I'm trying to run a test.

What do you get instead?

After running the test, codecept takes a long time to quit the process. It does not matter if the test succeeds or fails. After the test runs are finished, it just stays at OK in ... or finished teardown hook with --verbose. This happens randomly, sometimes finishing fast, but more often lasting up to several minutes.

Provide console output if related. Use --verbose mode for more details.

  ✔ OK in 12663ms

    --- STARTED "after each" hook: After for "Scenario1" ---
    Emitted | provisioning.user.removed ([object Object])
    Emitted | provisioning.user.removed ([object Object])
    --- ENDED "after each" hook: After for "Scenario1" ---

  OK  | 1 passed   // 16s
    started teardown hook
    Emitted | provisioning.context.removed ([object Object])
    finished teardown hook
