Test Scenario or step time out setting on Cucumber

[Maggie Zhou]

Hi, All,

I was wondering if there's a way to set timeout for scenarios or steps? I am using cucumber-jvm. And I saw there's runtime timeout class https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-jvm/blob/master/core/src/main/java/cucumber/runtime/Timeout.java

But I don't know how to use it. Could you please give me an example?

my test could be as following, and I 'd like skip the rest steps when any step take >3 secs. 

Scenario Outline: Create a account

Given I provide email and password

When I request create account

Then the response is "Created"

Then the response contains expect information

Thanks a lot

Never used it but in Java it should be...

@Given(value="your regex here", timeout=3000)

You can use it for steps and hooks in the same way. Not sure if there
is a way of setting it globally.

Thanks a lot. I added to one of my step. But the step won't be timeout.this steps takes 20 secs on my box and I didn't get the step timeout. Anything I could do?

 @When(value="^I request web authentication$", timeout=1000)    

    public void I_request_authentication() {

        httpRequest.setRequestPath("/authentication");            

        httpRequest.setRequestBody("");

        httpRequest.sendPostRequest();   

        actualResBody = getResponseStringFromStream(httpRequest.);

Are you sure that request is timing out in the step? I wrote a step to
try the timeout settings and it fails with
"java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException: Timed out after 5000ms":

@Given(value="^...$", timeout=5000)
public void myStep() throws InterruptedException {
Thread.sleep(10000);
}

I believe your step executes in less than a second. Try printing debug
statements with timestamps at the beginning and end of it to see how
long it takes to run.
