My code:

const assert = require('assert');
const ganache = require('ganache-cli');
const Web3 = require('web3');
const web3 = new Web3(ganache.provider());
const { interface,bytecode} = require('../compile');

let accounts;
let inbox;

beforeEach( async() => {
accounts = await web3.eth.getAccounts();
inbox = await new web3.eth.Contract(JSON.parse(interface))
  .deploy({data: bytecode,arguments:['Hi There !'] })
  .send({from: accounts[0], gas:'1000000'});
});

describe("inbox", () => {
it('deploys a contract', () => {
    console.log(inbox);
 })
})

The error while running it using npm run test:

`shreyas@shreyas-Inspiron-3520:~/inbox$ npm run test

inbox@1.0.0-beta.55 test /home/shreyas/inbox mocha

inbox 1) "before each" hook for "deploys a contract"

0 passing (2s) 1 failing

"before each" hook for "deploys a contract": Error: Timeout of 2000ms exceeded. For async tests and hooks, ensure "done()" is called; if returning a Promise, ensure it resolves. at listOnTimeout (internal/timers.js:531:17) at processTimers (internal/timers.js:475:7)

are you sure this call finishes? `await new web3.eth.Contract(JSON.parse(interface)) .deploy({data: bytecode,arguments:['Hi There !'] }) .send({from: accounts[0], gas:'1000000'});` – Rami Jarrar Jun 02 '19 at 17:19
no...i am not sure... – Shreyas Jain Jun 02 '19 at 17:45
can you add a console log to see if it finish – Rami Jarrar Jun 02 '19 at 17:46
try calling `done()` in your hook. `beforeEach( async(done) => { ... done()}` – Andrew Nolan Jun 02 '19 at 19:25
done that, but still not working – Shreyas Jain Jun 03 '19 at 03:53
one more thing: in the above code, myContract.deploy() is working fine, but myContract.deploy().send() is not. Any solution??? – Shreyas Jain Jun 03 '19 at 07:57
