Gulp-Mocha delay before performing test

Question

The normal version of Mocha supports delays before executings tests (link: https://mochajs.org/#hooks).

Is there a way to do this in gulp-mocha?

The tests syntax remains the same when using gulp-mocha in compare to simple mocha

Actually, gulp-mocha is just a wrapper to help you run test suites via gulp

I got an error saying the function `run` is not defined when trying it the way it was described on the website. – DevNebulae Jun 24 '16 at 12:15
could you please update your post with the code of your `gulpfile` and the code of test file, where error was thrown? – Stanislav Jun 24 '16 at 14:39
It's not that the code breaks, it is just a general question on how to implement it. – DevNebulae Jun 24 '16 at 14:56

The ideal way to fix this issue is to make an asynchronous test.

describe('StackOverflowExample', function() {
    it('Demonstrates how to create a test with delay', async function(done) {
        setTimeout(() => {
            //Your code here
            done();
        }, 250); //Set the delay to your liking
    });
});
