Raising the Beaker Provisioning Timeout

Under the hood, the test template simply passes a topology file to beaker for provisioning.

If beaker is timing out, you can simply update the following options in workspace/PinFile:

# options to configure amount of time spent polling beaker:
# 180 attempts with 60 seconds wait time between them,
# provisioning timeout is roughly 10800 seconds
max_attempts: 180
attempt_wait_time: 60
# option to set cancellation message if linchpin cancels provisioning
cancel_message: Job cancelled due to beaker request timeout

If any of these are missing, you can simply add them so that your topology resembles this structure:

  topology:
    topology_name: jenkins-slave
    resource_groups:
    - resource_group_name: beaker-slaves

        max_attempts: 180
        attempt_wait_time: 60
        # option to set cancellation message if linchpin cancels provisioning
        cancel_message: Job cancelled due to beaker request timeout
