We have a large Elixir project that runs `mix format --check-formatted` in the CI pipeline. Unfortunately this command sometimes times out, due to project size and server load. This makes our CI pipeline result unreliable.
It turns out that there is a hard-coded 30 second timeout for mix format specified in https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/blob/main/lib/mix/lib/mix/tasks/format.ex on line 228. My proposal would be to make the timeout duration customizable with an optional flag to `mix format`, so we can do something like `mix format --check-formatted --timeout 300` to give mix format 5 minutes instead of 30 seconds to check the code. The default, when the flag not provided, should still be to time out after 30 seconds. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elixir-lang-core" group.
