The timeout directive

Richard R. Drake edited this page Jun 8, 2022 · 1 revision

A test can specify a timeout value by adding a "timeout" specification in the header. For example,

#VVT: timeout : 3600
#VVT: timeout (testname=vvfull, platforms=Linux) : 3600

If the value is an integer, it should be the number of seconds. Other forms are "20m", "1h 20m", "1d 5h 10m 30s", and HH:MM:SS such as "1:20" and "2:30:00".

This timeout value will be overridden by the -T command line option, will be modified by the --timeout-multiplier option, and can be capped by the --max-timeout command line option.
