Jenkins pipeline docker.image call generates a timeout

Question

I recently upgraded my jenkins/Docker installation and since, I randomly experience timeout when i run a docker in my jenkins pipeline scripts, in which I start a docker like:

docker.image("${dockerImage}").inside(' -v /opt/software/:/software/:Z'){
 .....
}

This occurs randomly and my job crash with the following error message ( see extended log at the bottom of this thread):

ERROR: Timeout after 10 seconds

UPDATE: My pipeline script:

stage('Build'){
    node("master"){
    withEnv(['GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=true']){ 
            checkout([$class: 'GitSCM', branches: [[name: "$myGitSHA"]], doGenerateSubmoduleConfigurations: false, extensions: [], submoduleCfg: [], userRemoteConfigs: [[credentialsId:"${myGitCredentialsId}" , url:"${myGitUrl}" ]]])
        }

        docker.image("${dockerImage}").inside(' -v /opt/software/:/software/:Z'){
            // Cleaning any the previous build
            sh "make all"
        } // docker               
    } // node
} // stage

I wonder whether there is an option to increase the default timeout value set currently to 10s.

thanks

Answer 1

the issue is due to the hardcoded 10s timeout value, as one can read it from this link; docker workflow plugin https://github.com/jenkinsci/docker-workflow-plugin/blob/master/src/main/java/org/jenkinsci/plugins/docker/workflow/client/DockerClient.java#L268

In some cases this is far too short. A solution would be to have this timeout value as a parameter which is set by the user.
