How to specify timeout setting for IBM Cloud Functions action in manifest?

I am trying to deploy an action for IBM Cloud Functions using a manifest file. I know that it is possible to change the value for the timeout setting using --timeout LIMIT in the CLI. How can it be done in the manifest file?

Solution

  • I found the specification for the OpenWhisk / IBM Cloud Functions manifest. It is possible to set limits for an action. One of the supported limits is timeout.

    Setting the timeout to the maximum allowed value could look like this (based on the provided example in the docs):

    my_awesome_action:
  version: 1.0
  function: src/js/action.js
  runtime: nodejs@>0.12<6.0
  inputs:
    not_awesome_input_value:
      description: Some input string that is boring
      type: string
  outputs:
    awesome_output_value:
      description: Impressive output string
      type: string
  limits:
    timeout: 600000
