How to add a timeout step to Jenkins Pipeline

Question

Hi Guys,

I have created a pipeline Job in Jenkins. I want to add one timeout step to the pipeline. Can anyone help me with this?

Hi@akhtar,

You can execute the code inside the block with a determined time out limit. If the time limit is reached, an exception is thrown, which leads to aborting the build. You can add the below code.

timeout(20) {
  node {
    sh 'foo'
  }
}
