module Timeout
Timeout long-running blocks
Synopsis¶ ↑
require 'timeout' status = Timeout::timeout(5) { # Something that should be interrupted if it takes more than 5 seconds... }
Description¶ ↑
Timeout provides a way to auto-terminate a potentially long-running operation if it hasn’t finished in a fixed amount of time.
Previous versions didn’t use a module for namespacing, however timeout is provided for backwards compatibility. You should prefer Timeout.timeout instead.

Public Class Methods
Perform an operation in a block, raising an error if it takes longer than sec seconds to complete.
sec-
Number of seconds to wait for the block to terminate. Any number may be used, including Floats to specify fractional seconds. A value of 0 or
nilwill execute the block without any timeout. klass-
ExceptionClassto raise if the block fails to terminate insecseconds. Omitting will use the default,Timeout::Error message-
Errormessage to raise withExceptionClass. Omitting will use the default, “execution expired”
Returns the result of the block if the block completed before sec seconds, otherwise throws an exception, based on the value of klass.
The exception thrown to terminate the given block cannot be rescued inside the block unless klass is given explicitly. However, the block can use ensure to prevent the handling of the exception. For that reason, this method cannot be relied on to enforce timeouts for untrusted blocks.
If a scheduler is defined, it will be used to handle the timeout by invoking Scheduler#timeout_after.
Note that this is both a method of module Timeout, so you can include Timeout into your classes so they have a timeout method, as well as a module method, so you can call it directly as Timeout.timeout().
