Chethan - Here is how you would apply a timeout loop to the code you provided:
require 'test\unit' require 'timeout' class MyTest < Test::Unit::TestCase def test_sample_01 begin Timeout::timeout(3) do require "testcase_01" # test cases end rescue Timeout::timeout puts "took too long" end end def test_sample_02 begin Timeout::timeout(1) do require "testcase_02" # test cases end rescue Timeout::timeout puts "took too long" end end end Where testcase_01 and testcase_02 are in separate ruby files and both look like this: puts "I am the first testcase" sleep 2 This is a pretty simple example, but it demonstrates the concept. I have to say though, this is probably the most un-elegant way of doing this. I've never actually require'd a testcase inside of Test::Unit to get it to run but it does work. Seems like an easier way of doing this would be to wrap each test in it's own timeout at the method level. If you did this, then your "batch" file would just be a series of requires. Consider the following: In testcase_01.rb: class MyTest < Test::Unit::TestCase def test_sample_01 begin Timeout::timeout(3) do puts "I am the first testcase" sleep 2 end rescue Timeout::timeout puts "took too long" end end end In testcase_02.rb: class MyTest < Test::Unit::TestCase def test_sample_02 begin Timeout::timeout(1) do puts "I am the first testcase" sleep 2 end rescue Timeout::timeout puts "took too long" end end end Then, your batch file becomes: require 'test\unit' require 'timeout' require 'testcase_01' require 'testcase_02' This is marginally better. However, I'm noticing that I get an Error from Test Unit in the second example, as opposed to a Failure, not sure what is causing this... However, I'm still not even sure this will solve your problem if you got a modal pop-up box that froze your thread. As I said earlier, I think you will need to look at trying to address the pop ups per testcase. Maybe somebody else has some other ideas. Let me know if you have any questions.
