Timeout

The Timeout toggle adds a Timeout property to the activity. If the activity does not finish executing within the amount of time specified in this property, an error will be thrown. The default timeout is automatically set to 60000 ms (1 minute).

Generated Code

Activities with timeouts contain an ExecuteWithTimeout method, which contains the execution logic of that activity. This method is called within the main ExecuteAsync method and times out after a set amount of time (60 seconds by default).

protected override async Task<Action<AsyncCodeActivityContext>> ExecuteAsync(AsyncCodeActivityContext context, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
    {
        // Inputs
        var timeout = TimeoutMS.Get(context);
  
        // Set a timeout on the execution
        var task = ExecuteWithTimeout(context, cancellationToken);
        if (await Task.WhenAny(task, Task.Delay(timeout, cancellationToken)) != task) throw new TimeoutException(Resources.Timeout_Error);
  
        // Outputs
        return (ctx) => { };
    }
private async Task ExecuteWithTimeout(AsyncCodeActivityContext context, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
{
    ///////////////////////////
    // Add execution logic HERE
