Presently timeouts are using the signal library and throw an exception to end the search. This timeout behavior can be modified very easily by changing the __search_test_history method. All searches use this method to accomplish scoping, logging and history substitution. Changing the timeout to something like below would be better.
# in IntegrationTestAPI's __search_test_history method on ~line 912 of api.py
if timeout:
self.__log(name + " now awaiting for at most {} s.".format(timeout))
end_time = time.time() + timeout
while True:
new_items = history.retrieve_new()
for item in new_items:
if searcher.incremental_search(item):
return searcher.get_return_value()
if time.time() >= end_time:
msg = name + " timed out and ended unsuccessfully."
self.__log(msg, TestLogger.YELLOW)
break
time.sleep(0.1)
else:
self.__log(name + " ended unsuccessfully.", TestLogger.YELLOW)
return searcher.get_return_value()
NOTE: The above code hasn't been tested and may have issues if the system time changes: time.time().
