cy.wrap does not respect timeout

This example spec file fails with the error below:

describe('Cypress wait', () => {
  it('wrap does not wait', () => {
    cy.wrap(
        new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 5000)), {timeout: 20000});
  });
});

 Cypress wait
    1) wrap does not wait


  0 passing (4s)

  1) Cypress wait wrap does not wait:
     Error: Cypress command timeout of '4000ms' exceeded.
      at http://localhost:57838/__cypress/runner/cypress_runner.js:103532:25

Shouldn’t cy.wrap respect the timeout option? The test passes if I pass --config defaultCommandTimeout=6000 on the command line, but I want to pass a specific timeout for this cy.wrap command.

Hello here is a workaround to force Cypress to wait for a promise:

/**
 *  helper function that forces cy to wait for a promise
 *
 * @export
 * @param {Promise} promise promise to wait
 * @param {number} [interval=1000] recheck in minlisecons
 * @returns
 */
export function waitPromise(promise, interval = 1000) {
  let isDone = false;

  const runPromise = () => {
    if (isDone) {
      // Wrap and returns the result
      return cy.wrap(promise.catch(error => assert.isNotOk(true, error)));
    }
    return cy.wait(interval).then(() => runPromise());
  };

  // Marks as resolved
  promise.then(() => (isDone = true)).catch(() => (isDone = true));

  return runPromise();
}

And in-use example

it('Restore Password - Should received an email', () => {
  const task = emailHelper.searchLastEmail({
    emailAddress: user.email,
    subject: 'Reset Password',
    timeout: 2 * 60000 // 2 min
  });

  testHelpers.waitPromise(task).then(mail => {
    // Save for later test
    restorePasswordMail = mail;
    return expect(mail).not.to.be.null;
  });
});
