Timeout provides a way to auto-terminate a potentially long-running operation if it hasn't finished in a fixed amount of time.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'timeout'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install timeout
require 'timeout'
status = Timeout.timeout(5) {
# Something that should be interrupted if it takes more than 5 seconds...
}
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup
to install dependencies. Then, run rake test
to run the tests. You can also run bin/console
for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install
. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb
, and then run bundle exec rake release
, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem
file to rubygems.org.
