How to set global timeout on test?

[szymkab]

Hello 👋

I’m working on an application where we have a host and users. Both sides communicate through WebSockets. What users see depends on the host and what the host does in the UI.

I wrote a test that uses Artillery’s loop to listen for incoming messages and send appropriate responses back.

My question is: how can I set a global timeout for this test so that the process stops after, say, 5 minutes?

The problem is that my loop is infinite — and it has to be, because the test needs to react to all potential messages it might receive.
