> Could we check the create time of build/.../xml instead?
The trouble is, we may have some of the copied XML files, but not all of
them. For example, if all the tests finished except for `:core` we would have
several XML files in build/junit-xml, but not any from core.

The whole problem we're working around here is that there's no easy way to
distinguish between a timeout and some other failure in a GitHub step (a major
limitation, IMO). Another solution could be to use the Linux `timeout` command
to do our own timeout. With this approach, we just watch for a particular exit
code from `timeout` to determine if Gradle had an error or if it timed out.
It would be something like:
```
timeout 180 ./gradlew ...
RET=$?
if [[ $RET == 124 ]]; then
echo "timed out";
elif [[ $RET == 0 ]]; then
echo "ok";
else
echo "failed";
fi
```
Maybe we could capture the exit code and store it as a step output to be
read by the Parse JUnit step. WDYT?
