Feature Request: Operation Timeouts

pythoninthegrass commented 11 months ago

When setting up multipass VMs, if my cloud-config is too ambitious (e.g., installs a number of packages) Terraform times out while each VM is running. They still get created, but I don't get the outputs and suspect the state might be off.

Any chance custom operation timeouts can be added? Something like this:

resource "multipass_instance" "multipass_vm" {
  count  = var.instance_count
  cloudinit_file  = var.user_data
  name   = "${var.name_prefix}-${var.name}-${count.index + 1}"
  cpus   = var.cpus
  memory = var.memory
  disk   = var.disks
  image  = var.image_name

  timeouts {
    create = "10m"
    delete = "5m"
  }
}

Appreciate your work! This is a game changer for my dev environment 🔥

Thanks for your suggestion! Will see what I can do.

What platform are you on? MacOS? If so, do you perhaps think that your problem with hangs could actually be this: https://github.com/canonical/multipass/issues/2387

On macOS 12.5 (maybe .6? AFK).

Unrelated. Followed the same thread. It's my understanding the provider has to support timeout overrides in the go code itself.

Can take a look at the source and try to add it myself to verify.
