Goss default timeout (10 seconds)

Problem

This command takes 12 seconds to run on this system (normally it is quicker)

[root@server ~]# time /opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/racadm jobqueue view | tail

[Job ID=JID_060702358956]
Job Name=Configure: Import system configuration XML file
Status=Completed with Errors
Start Time=[Not Applicable]
Expiration Time=[Not Applicable]
Message=[SYS055: Import of system configuration XML file operation completed with errors.]
Percent Complete=[100]
----------------------------------------------------------
 
real    0m12.763s
user    0m0.009s
sys     0m0.012s

When running it via goss, it times out after 10 seconds

[root@server ~]# time sudo goss -g /root/dell_check.yaml v
FF

Solution

Add timeout: 30000 to increase the timeout to 30,000 milliseconds (or 30 seconds)

[root@server ~]# cat /root/dell_check.yaml
command:
  /opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/racadm jobqueue view |grep 'Complete='|tail -1:
    title: You need to reboot this server to get it to pass this check
    exit-status: 0
    stdout:
      - 'Complete=[100]'
      - '!Complete=[0]'
      - '!Complete=[NA]'
    timeout: 30000
[root@server ~]# time sudo goss -g /root/dell_check.yaml v
