Timeouts¶

Timeouts in Chainsaw are specified per type of operation. This is required because the timeout varies greatly depending on the nature of an operation.

For example, applying a manifest in a cluster is expected to be reasonably fast, while validating a resource can be a long operation.

Chainsaw supports separately configuring the timeouts below:

• Apply

  When Chainsaw applies manifests in a cluster

• Assert

  When Chainsaw validates resources in a cluster

• Cleanup

  When Chainsaw removes resources from a cluster created for a test

• Delete

  When Chainsaw deletes resources from a cluster

• Error

  When Chainsaw validates resources in a cluster

• Exec

  When Chainsaw executes arbitrary commands or scripts
