Summary

Customer reported that timeout defined in the default section is not working.

According to our documentation we can set the timeout parameter under the default section. However upon testing, it seems that the timeout parameter in the default section is not being used. Defining the timeout parameter in the job section works properly.

Example Project

  1. https://gitlab.com/dm3ch/test-ci
  • This project defines the timeout in the default section.
  • However, based on the job, it is not used: https://gitlab.com/dm3ch/test-ci/-/jobs/499926273
  1. https://gitlab.com/jdasmarinas/test-ci
  • This project defines the timeout in the job.
  • Timeout was set properly: https://gitlab.com/jdasmarinas/test-ci/-/jobs/501171003
