Allow async callback to describe

🚀 Feature Proposal

Allow async callback to describe

Motivation

I think it will be usefull to load async data in describe and then use in test.each or descibe.each (for example some ElementHanldes from pupeteer)

Example

descibe("async test", async () => {

      const data = await new DataLoader().load();

     it.each(data, async () => {
        expect(...).toEqual(...)
     })
})

We won't implement it because forcing all tests to be declared synchronously helps reporters and third party tooling e.g. know the number of tests upfront.
But Top-level await may soon offer an alternative for use cases where this feature would help with readability.
