The deploymenttimeout parameter ignored when given sub-minute values

Legacy Execution

Hi,

For testing purposes I want to see a deployment from octo.exe fail (in deploy-release). I have a deployment that takes 3 minutes, so I started by setting the --deploymenttimeout parameter to 00:01:00 (and --cancelontimeout), which cancels the deployment after 1 minute as expected, with:
“One or more tasks did not complete before the timeout was reached. We waited 1,0 minutes for the tasks to complete.”

However, I would like to reduce the time this test takes, so I set --deploymenttimeout to 00:00:01, but then it just continues on and deployes successfully - completely disregarding the deploymenttimeout I set. I’ve also tested with 00:00:59, and this is also disregarded.

The full commands are here:

  • Fails as expected:
    octo deploy-release --project=XYZ --waitfordeployment --server=http://XYZ/deploy --apiKey=API-XYZ --releaseNumber=latest --deployto=“XYZ” --deploymenttimeout=00:01:00 --cancelontimeout
  • Parameter is ignored
    octo deploy-release --project=XYZ --waitfordeployment --server=http://XYZ/deploy --apiKey=API-XYZ --releaseNumber=latest --deployto=“XYZ” --deploymenttimeout=00:00:59 --cancelontimeout

Octo.exe version: 4.15.7
Octopus Server version: 3.11.12

Best regards,
Jon
