Timeout not taking effect, even on command

[mzerfas]

cy.get('button', { timeout: 20000 }) .contains('something') .should('be.visible') .click()

^this is not working, still waits the default timeout for the overall config or test override, but individual timeouts don't work. What am I missing?

The timeout is applicable only to your cy.get(). You have a .contains() before the assertion so it might be best to condense the two into one .contains()

cy.contains('button', 'something', {timeout: 20000}).should('be.visible').click()
