There is some improvements to be made in the support core plugin (will create a different jira), but there is a case where the pipeline step executions toString method can hang forever if it is unable to obtain the durable task steps workspace:

      I believe the issue is that the StepExecution.toString make a call to getStatus which if it is currently in a DurableTaskStep.getStatus method call it will try to get the workspace which could potentially hang if something has happened to the channel.

          getStatus is expected to return quickly and reliably, so nothing to be done in support-core.

          Note that the stack trace quoted above should only happen if you have enabled a FINE logger.
