Why can't I override the timeout on my Google Cloud Build?

Question

I am attempting to setup a CI Pipeline using Google Cloud Build.

I am attempting to deploy a MeteorJS app which has a lengthy build time - the default build timeout

Answer 1

This timeout error comes from app engine deployment itself which has 10 min timeout by default.

You will need to update app/cloud_build_timeout property inside container itself like this:

steps:
- name: 'gcr.io/cloud-builders/gcloud'
  entrypoint: 'bash'
  args: ['-c', 'gcloud config set app/cloud_build_timeout 1200 && gcloud app deploy']
timeout: 1200s

Update

Actually simpler solution:

steps:
- name: 'gcr.io/cloud-builders/gcloud'
  args: ['app', 'deploy']
  timeout: 1200s
timeout: 1200s
