Details
The maximum job timeout field when creating a runner is in seconds. When you add a max timeout value, it must be at least 10 minutes, but the user has to manually calculate minutes to seconds. It also isn't clear what it means if you leave the job timeout blank.
Maximum job timeout
Maximum amount of time the runner can run before it terminates. If a project has a shorter job timeout period, the job timeout period of the instance runner is used instead.
Enter the job timeout in seconds. Must be a minimum of 600 seconds.
Proposal
- Update error message to be in seconds.
- Update the form field text to use the following:
Maximum job timeout
Maximum amount of time the runner can run before it terminates. The job timeout of the runner is used if it is shorter than the project job timeout. For example, if the maximum job timeout for a runner is 30 minutes, but the CI/CD timeout for a project is 2 hours, the job running in that project times out after 30 minutes.
