Unhandled promise rejection in tests
An asynchronous operation rejected without a handler attached in the test or application lifecycle.
RECOGNIZABLE ERROR
UnhandledPromiseRejectionRANKED DIAGNOSIS
What usually causes it
- 01
A promise was started without awaiting it
The rejection escapes after the test moves on.
DIAGNOSE
Trace every created promise in the failing path and find the missing await or return.
FIX
Await the operation and assert its success or rejection explicitly.
- 02
Cleanup rejects after teardown
A closed page, socket, or server can cause late asynchronous failures.
DIAGNOSE
Inspect teardown ordering and open handles.
FIX
Stop producers before closing their dependencies and await cleanup.
- 03
An event handler throws asynchronously
Framework callbacks can reject outside the test's main promise chain.
DIAGNOSE
Capture application errors and identify the originating event.
FIX
Handle the error in the application and expose an observable failure state.
Prevent the repeat
- →Fail on unhandled rejections.
- →Await cleanup.
- →Keep asynchronous ownership explicit.
