How to add a timeout step in Jenkins pipeline?

To add a timeout step in a Jenkins pipeline, you can use the timeout block provided by the Pipeline Utility Steps plugin.

Here's an example:

pipeline {

    agent any



    stages {

        stage('Build') {

            steps {

                // build steps go here

            }

        }



        stage('Test') {

            steps {

                timeout(time: 5, unit: 'MINUTES') {

                    // test steps go here

                }

            }

        }

    }

}

In the above example, the timeout block will wrap the test steps and will cause the pipeline to fail if the test stage takes longer than 5 minutes to complete.

You can adjust the timeout duration by changing the time and unit values. Other supported units include SECONDS and HOURS.
