💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using a string instead of a number for the time value.

Setting the time too low or too high without reason.

The timeout step requires the time value in minutes. Setting it to 10 means the build will stop if it runs longer than 10 minutes.

Complete the code to set a build timeout using the 'timeout' step with a unit of 'SECONDS'.

Jenkins

timeout(time: [1], unit: 'SECONDS') {
  // build steps
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Confusing seconds with minutes.

Choosing a time too short for the build.

Setting the timeout to 60 seconds means the build will be stopped if it runs longer than 1 minute.

Fix the error in the timeout step by completing the missing unit value.

Jenkins

timeout(time: 5, unit: '[1]') {
  // build steps
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using lowercase units like 'minutes' instead of uppercase.

Choosing a unit that does not match the time value.

The unit must be one of the supported strings. 'MINUTES' is the correct unit for a 5-minute timeout.

Fill both blanks to set a timeout of 2 hours using the Jenkins pipeline syntax.

Jenkins

timeout(time: [1], unit: '[2]') {
  // build steps
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 120 with 'HOURS' which would mean 120 hours.

Using 'MINUTES' with 2 which means 2 minutes, not 2 hours.

Setting time to 2 and unit to 'HOURS' means the build will timeout after 2 hours.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a timeout block that stops the build after 90 minutes.

Jenkins

timeout(time: [1], unit: '[2]') {
  echo '[3]'
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

BMINUTES

CBuild timed out after 90 minutes

DSECONDS

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'SECONDS' instead of 'MINUTES' for the unit.

Setting time to 90 but using 'SECONDS' which means 90 seconds.

The timeout is set to 90 minutes, and the echo message informs that the build timed out after 90 minutes.
