The reason `$nextTick` or `setTimeout` allow the test to pass is because the microtask queue where promise callbacks are processed run before the task queue, where `$nextTick` and `setTimeout` are processed. This means by the time the `$nexTick` and `setTimeout` run, any promise callbacks on the microtask queue will have been executed. See [here](https://jakearchibald.com/2015/tasks-microtasks-queues-and-schedules/) for a more detailed explanation.

Another solution is to use an `async` function and the npm package `flush-promises`. `flush-promises` flushes all pending resolved promise handlers. You can `await` the call of `flushPromises` to flush pending promises and improve the readability of your test.
