Detect in a pipeline that a node is not working

[Jean-Philippe Humbert]

I need some help for the following problem:

I have a pipeline which starts parallel jobs (test cases) and wait until they are all finished, to produce a report.

Sometime the test case breaks the node (OS crash, the network not responding).

My pipeline waits because of the hung job. Jenkins shows me that the connection with the node ist nor working.

My question: can I check this situation in my pipeline, setting the job as failed and my test report will be produced?

Facing same problem. Any solutions??

Ashwath Kumar

I'd consider simply putting a timeout in place for this node or so, so it eventually fails and you get to your reporting step.

This is not a solution for me.

I can’t predict the duration of some test cases.

I mean putting a high timeout, like 1 hour, or 10 or whatever depending on what it does, so the pipeline eventually does complete and creates the reports. Without this, it may indeed stay stalled forever.

Hi,

timeout has "activity" flag: When set, it timeout after no activity in logs for this block instead of absolute duration.

If your testcases print something in console, it may fit your needs.

timeout(activity: true, time: 1, unit: 'HOURS') {
    // some block
}
