[Buildbot-devel] Jumping over the next "addStep"

[Fulvio Cervone]

If is a shell script you can implement a function in the script itself, so if it takes more than X amount of time, it will exit with code 1; this will result in the step to quit and mark the step as failed (then you can decide if the whole build fail or not using the step parameters).

Another way is to use properties; probably some other user can point out some good example, since the manual has only a simple case.

Its usual execution time is not fixed and varies as per source taken. So using 'timeout' of 'maxTime'  is of no use.
