Improve fromTemplate.test.ts to avoid intermittent error on CI

[peter-rr]

Why do we need this improvement?

There is some error that occurs sporadically when running tests on CI since some days ago, always during the Test NodeJS PR - macos-latest job:

1 failing

1) template
      should install template
        should install template:
    Error: Timeout of 100000ms exceeded. For async tests and hooks, ensure "done()" is called; if returning a Promise, ensure it resolves. (/Users/runner/work/cli/cli/test/integration/bundle/bundle.test.ts)
     at listOnTimeout (node:internal/timers:569:17)
     at processTimers (node:internal/timers:512:7)

Besides, the error displayed points to bundle.test.ts instead of fromTemplate.test.ts, where the error is actually happening.

How will this change help?

This change will avoid the CI fails intermittently for the reason described on the error, so we don't need to trigger manually the GH workflow again to make the CI pass.

Screenshots

No response

How could it be implemented/designed?

The timeout set for that test might be increased or some other change should be applied to the make the test pass.

Hello @Shurtu-gal, I am interested in working on this issue. So as suggested in the issue, do I increase the timeout period or do I need to look for a more rigorous fix to the issue?

Although increasing timeout should work as per theory, it would be better if we solve the underlying problem unless macos requires more time. Also some logs mention failure in installation as well.

I think it is happening due to this test specifically. It is testing the --install flag and it installs a new template over the internet which is very slow and flaky.

cli/test/integration/generate/fromTemplate.test.ts

Lines 152 to 168 in 6ba4b47

	describe('should install template', () => {
	test
	.stdout()
	.command([
	'generate:fromTemplate',
	'./test/fixtures/specification.yml',
	'./test/fixtures/minimaltemplate',
	'--install',
	'--force-write',
	'--output=./test/docs/7'
	])
	.it('should install template', (ctx, done) => {
	expect(ctx.stdout).to.contain('Template installation started because you passed --install flag.');
	cleanup('./test/docs/7');
	done();
	});
	}).timeout(1000000);

Is there any particular reason though because of which the template generation is happening so slowly only for MacOS?

This seems like common in other projects, For example: https://github.com/asyncapi/parser-js/actions/runs/9348904713/job/25729559713?pr=999

Maybe github is downgrading the mac instances or lowering the quota. Can never know 🤷🏻.
