Hello,
I have the impression that it's a bit tedious to have the timeout
information outside of the process definition. You are linking a
"step" name like "decide_worker" with a timeout, but this 'phrase'
"decide_worker" seems to firmly belong to a process definition.
sequence do
decide_jobdetails :timeout => '3d'
decide_worker :timeout => '1d'
end
This makes for a very readable process definition.
Now I understand that you want to make it highly configurable and that
your way of dividing what belongs to the process definition and what
belongs to configuration is different from mine.
As a workaround, I'd suggest to put those timeout information into the
workitem or in the variables of the process instance.
user1 :timeout => '${f:steps.decide_worker.timeout}'
would work with a workitem looking like :
{ 'steps' => { 'decide_worker' => { 'timeout' => '3d' } } }
For ruote 2.0, I will make sure that participants may decide about
their timeout by themselves.
Best regards, not sure if I could help,
