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 execute reasonably fast, while validating a resource can be a much longer operation.

Supported timeouts¶

Element	Default	Description
apply	`5s`	Used when Chainsaw applies manifests in a cluster
assert	`30s`	Used when Chainsaw validates resources in a cluster
cleanup	`30s`	Used when Chainsaw removes resources created for a test
delete	`15s`	Used when Chainsaw deletes resources from a cluster
error	`30s`	Used when Chainsaw validates resources in a cluster
exec	`5s`	Used when Chainsaw executes arbitrary commands or scripts
