For me this did the trick

afterAll(async () => {
	await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(() => resolve(), 500)); // avoid jest open handle error
});

Seems like it needs some more ticks to close that handle.

Try this in your app.test

const request = require('supertest');
const app = require('../app');
describe('App Request', () => {
  test('should responds with 404', async (done) => {
    const result = await request(app).get('/');
    expect(result.status).toBe(404);
    done();
  });
});
