mark build as unstable if it takes too long

[Darren Rowley]

Is there any way to mark a build as unstable if it takes too long? I'm aware of the build timeout plugin but that appears to actually abort the build. I don't want the build to be aborted I just want the job to become unstable.

I guess I could do this we a groovy post build action but just wondering if I am missing a built in setting or plugin.

thanks in advance,
D.

I think the OP is aware of that plugin and the main issue seems to be
that the build timeout plugin aborts the build rather than makes it
unstable.

OP: Perhaps you could update the build timeout plugin to have the
option of setting the build to unstable/failed rather than abort?

As I said in my original post I don't think it does as it aborts the build? Are you using it to just what I want? I could see an option..

[nicolas de loof]

so, you want the build to keep running until completion, but be UNSTABLE (or worst) cause it took too much time ?

so why not using a groovy postbuild script? See Example 4 on the wiki

Yes as I said originally said I thought I would end up doing it this way. Just sometimes it's nicer to do it with a plugin or something built in rather than having a duplicated groovy script pasted into every test. But that's fine...

thanks.
