Testcases ignores executionTimeout in app.config

[kwee]

Hi,

I am using Telerik 2011.1.

When my tests run for more than 30 min, WebAii fails due to executionTimeout
exceeded. It seems to ignore the app.config setting for executionTimeout that I have
increased.

To reproduce the problem ( in reverse ), I used the
Samples/QuickStarts_VSTS_CS project and picked a passing testcase,
eg SimpleWin32UI.

Then I updated the app.config WebAii.Settings so that executionTimeout=0 ( or 1).
The testcase still runs and passes, and does not produce testcase timeout.
                                             
This shows that WebAii.Settings/executionTimeout is not being used.

Where should the executionTimeout value be set so that it can be effective?

Thanks,

[kwee]

Additional information

My test runs timeout like this:
 
     | Start Time:  5/7/2012 12:42:21 PM
     | Finish Time: 5/7/2012 1:12:21 PM
     | Test 'Create150Ships' exceeded execution timeout period.

It seems that my executionTimeout setting is ignored and the default 18000 ( 30 min ) value is
used.

There is another forum posting regarding the same issue, but no resolution was reported.

Additional information

I updated my TTF to 2012.1.411 and repeated the test.
The executionTimeout value is being read into the SettingsConfigSectionHandler,
but has no effect on the testcase. When the value is set to very low, eg 0, 1, the
testcase continues to run to completion.

Hopefully, I get an answer soon.

Thanks,

Hello kwee,

I apologize for the confusion on the correct use of the executionTimeout parameter. It does not control the total amount of time the test may execute. It is the same thing as the ExecuteCommandTimeout setting documented here.

The setting you really need is the Visual Studio Test Timeouts contained in the Visual Studio .testsettings file (see attached screen shot).
