How to do Integration tests NodeJS + Firebase Admin? - node.js

Question

I'm trying to write some integration tests on NodeJS with Firebase (firebase-admin, with the test library jest and supertest), and some tests are failing randomly when I run all my tests. Separately, my tests are passing, but it seems like when too many test cases are running, some api calls are failing. Does someone here already had such problem? What are the solutions for this problem? What could cause this problem? (NB: I run my tests sequentially for not mixing up the initialization of my database. I use the option --runInBand with jest)
There are some mocking libraries available, but it seems like they work with the old api of firebase.
Another solution would be to mock all my functions that manipulate firebase, but I won't have a "real" integration test anymore, and it means doing a lot of extra coding for writing those mock. Is it a best practice to do so?
Thank you in advance!
EDIT: code snippet:
initTest.js:

const net = require('net');
const app = require('../src/server').default;
export const initServer = () => {
const server = net.createServer(function(sock) {
sock.end('Hello world\n');
});
return server
}
export const createAdminAndReturnToken = async (password) => {
await request(app.callback())
.post('/admin/users/sa')
.set('auth','')
.send({password});
// user logs in
const res = await request(app.callback())
.post('/web/users/login')
.set('auth','')
.send({email:"sa#optimetriks.com",password})
return res.body.data.token;
}
utils.ts:
import firestore from "../../src/tools/firestore/index";
export async function execOperations(operations,action,obj) {
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === "test") {
await Promise.all(operations)
.then(() => {
console.log(action+" "+obj+" in database");
})
.catch(() => {
console.log("Error", "error while "+action+"ing "+obj+" to database");
});
} else {
console.log(
"Error",
"cannot execute this action outside from the test environment"
);
}
}

I found the problem: I had a problem on the "deleteAllCollection" function, I forgot to put an "await".
Here is the correction for this function:
export async function deleteAllCollections() {
const collections = ["clients", "web_users","clients_web_users","clients_app_users","app_users"];
for (const collection of collections) {
await deleteCollection(collection);
};
}
