timeout step should support breaking on inactivity, not just a fixed duration

XMLWordPrintable

      Some of our test-suite items can occasionally deadlock, causing a build to never finish. The Build Timeout Plugin supports failing a job when nothing happens (i.e. no log output) for a sufficient length of time. It would be good to get this behaviour in Workflow.

          [JENKINS-26521] timeout step should support breaking on inactivity, not just a fixed duration

          Would be useful in some cases. I am not sure how difficult this would be. BuildTimeoutWrapper uses BuildWrapper.decorateLogger for this purpose, which is too low-level (assumes access to an OutputStream for the whole build) and so is not available in a workflow (cf. JENKINS-24673). There would have to be something like a TaskListenerDecorator which could be passed into BodyInvoker.withContext and interpreted by LogActionImpl, perhaps.

          By the way for the use case originally reported here, it is arguably better to just impose a per-suite timeout in the test framework or test runner, such as in Surefire.
