ava: `after.always` doesn't run if there are uncaught exceptions

@fcastilloec you could use t.try() (though I don’t recall if that’s available in hooks). It lets you observe the outcome and should let you set a separate timeout. That way if there’s an error or a timeout you can then run some other code before proceeding with the failure.

Does anybody know of a workaround for this? In my case, a process in the before hook might not load and hence timeout. This program only outputs errors and messages to a file (there’s no console whatsoever). I was counting on using the after.always hook to read the error file and print it on the terminal even if my before hook timeouts or errors. I could run a program doing this if ava fails but I really would like to have it integrated as part of my test. Any way to force ava to run something at the end, no matter what?

Hey @Githubber2021, I think this comment still stands:

Uncaught exceptions crash the worker process. We can’t really make any guarantees about whether after hooks are run.
