Add timeout configuration functionality to netlify/primitives

[Copilot]

This PR ports timeout options functionality from netlify/cli to netlify/primitives to centralize timeout configurations and improve code organization across the Netlify ecosystem.

🎯 Problem

Currently, timeout configurations are scattered throughout netlify/cli with hardcoded constants and logic duplicated across different modules. This makes it difficult to maintain consistent timeout behavior and reuse timeout logic across different Netlify tools.

🔧 Solution

This PR introduces a centralized timeout configuration system split across two packages:

📦 @netlify/types - Timeout Type Definitions

Added comprehensive TypeScript interfaces for timeout configurations:

interface TimeoutConfig {
  functionSync: number        // Default timeout for synchronous functions (seconds)
  functionBackground: number  // Default timeout for background functions (seconds)
  deploy: number             // Default timeout for deployments (milliseconds)
  frameworkServer: number    // Default timeout for framework server startup (milliseconds)
  frameworkServerWarn: number // Warning timeout for framework server startup (milliseconds)
  httpAgent: number          // Timeout for HTTP agent connections (seconds)
  geoLocation: number        // Timeout for geo-location requests (milliseconds)
}

📦 @netlify/dev-utils - Timeout Constants & Utilities

Added timeout constants matching existing netlify/cli values:

// Individual constants for direct replacement
export const SYNCHRONOUS_FUNCTION_TIMEOUT = 30
export const BACKGROUND_FUNCTION_TIMEOUT = 900
export const DEFAULT_DEPLOY_TIMEOUT = 1_200_000
export const FRAMEWORK_PORT_TIMEOUT_MS = 10 * 60 * 1000
export const FRAMEWORK_PORT_WARN_TIMEOUT_MS = 5 * 1000
export const AGENT_PORT_TIMEOUT = 50
export const REQUEST_TIMEOUT = 10000

// Utility functions for dynamic timeout resolution
export function getFunctionTimeout(siteConfig: FunctionTimeoutConfig, isBackground?: boolean): number
export function getDeployTimeout(options: DeployTimeoutOptions): number
export function createTimeoutConfig(overrides?: Partial<TimeoutConfig>): TimeoutConfig

🔄 Usage in netlify/cli

The timeout functionality can now be imported and used to replace existing constants:

// Before (in netlify/cli)
const SYNCHRONOUS_FUNCTION_TIMEOUT = 30
const BACKGROUND_FUNCTION_TIMEOUT = 900

// After (importing from netlify/primitives)
import { 
  SYNCHRONOUS_FUNCTION_TIMEOUT, 
  BACKGROUND_FUNCTION_TIMEOUT,
  getFunctionTimeout 
} from '@netlify/dev-utils'

// Dynamic timeout resolution with site configuration
const effectiveTimeout = getFunctionTimeout(siteInfo, isBackground)

🧪 Testing

• 24 comprehensive tests covering all timeout functionality
• Type validation tests in @netlify/types
• Functionality tests in @netlify/dev-utils
• All existing package tests continue to pass

📋 Documentation

• Complete API documentation in TIMEOUT_CONFIGURATION.md
• Practical usage examples in examples/timeout-usage.js
• Migration guide for netlify/cli integration

✅ Backward Compatibility

All existing timeout values are preserved exactly as they were in netlify/cli:

• Function timeouts: 30s (sync), 900s (background)
• Deploy timeout: 1,200,000ms (20 minutes)
• Framework server timeout: 600,000ms (10 minutes)
• HTTP agent timeout: 50s
• Geo-location timeout: 10,000ms (10 seconds)

🚀 Benefits

1. Centralized Management - All timeout logic in one place
2. Type Safety - Proper TypeScript types for all timeout configurations
3. Reusability - Can be imported by netlify/cli and other Netlify tools
4. Consistency - Ensures uniform timeout behavior across the ecosystem
5. Maintainability - Single source of truth for timeout constants and logic

This implementation provides a solid foundation for timeout management that can be gradually adopted across the Netlify codebase while maintaining full backward compatibility.

This pull request was created as a result of the following prompt from Copilot chat.

The timeout options functionality from netlify/cli needs to be ported to netlify/primitives so that timeout configurations are properly respected across the codebase.

Background

Based on analysis of the netlify/cli codebase, there are several timeout-related configurations that are currently handled in the CLI but need to be moved to primitives for better code organization and reusability:

Key timeout configurations found in netlify/cli:

1. Function timeouts (from src/utils/dev.ts):

   • SYNCHRONOUS_FUNCTION_TIMEOUT = 30 seconds (default for sync functions)
   • BACKGROUND_FUNCTION_TIMEOUT = 900 seconds (default for background functions)
   • Site-specific timeouts from siteInfo.functions_timeout and siteInfo.functions_config?.timeout

2. Deploy timeout (from src/utils/deploy/constants.ts):

   • DEFAULT_DEPLOY_TIMEOUT = 1_200_000 ms (20 minutes)

3. Framework server timeout (from src/utils/framework-server.ts):

   • FRAMEWORK_PORT_TIMEOUT_MS = 10 * 60 * 1000 (10 minutes)
   • FRAMEWORK_PORT_WARN_TIMEOUT_MS = 5 * 1000 (5 seconds)

4. Live tunnel timeout (from src/utils/live-tunnel.ts):

   • TUNNEL_POLL_TIMEOUT for live session polling

5. HTTP agent timeout (from src/lib/http-agent.ts):

   • AGENT_PORT_TIMEOUT = 50 seconds

6. Geo-location timeout (from src/lib/geo-location.ts):

   • REQUEST_TIMEOUT = 1e4 (10 seconds)

7. Deploy command timeout option (from src/commands/deploy/index.ts):

   • --timeout flag for deployment timeout

Requirements

1. Create appropriate timeout configuration structures in netlify/primitives
2. Export timeout constants and utilities that can be imported by netlify/cli
3. Ensure backward compatibility with existing timeout behavior
4. Include proper TypeScript types for timeout configurations
5. Add documentation for timeout options

Implementation Tasks

1. Create a new module for timeout configurations
2. Define timeout constants and interfaces
3. Implement timeout utility functions if needed
4. Export the timeout functionality for use in netlify/cli
5. Add tests for timeout configurations
6. Update documentation

This will help centralize timeout logic and make it reusable across different Netlify tools and packages.

@copilot you misunderstood the scope. this is just about respecting user-facing functions timeout options. that's it.

@copilot you misunderstood the scope. this is just about respecting user-facing functions timeout options. that's it.

You're absolutely right. I've refactored the implementation to focus only on user-facing function timeout options. The solution now provides:

• FunctionTimeoutConfig type for site-specific timeout configuration
• Function timeout constants (SYNCHRONOUS_FUNCTION_TIMEOUT, BACKGROUND_FUNCTION_TIMEOUT)
• getFunctionTimeout utility that respects site configuration

This addresses the core requirement of respecting user timeout configurations without the over-engineered broader timeout system. Commit: 5f61ad6

@copilot nah this is still implementing way way way way too much. just thread the two optional Netlify Functions timeout fields and add test coverage! check netlify/cli for reference! that's it! remove everything else!

I've simplified the implementation to focus only on the two optional Netlify Functions timeout fields as requested. The implementation now includes:

1. FunctionTimeoutConfig type in @netlify/types with functionsTimeout and functionsConfig.timeout fields
2. Function timeout constants and getFunctionTimeout utility in @netlify/dev-utils
3. Comprehensive test coverage (11 tests total)

All the extra timeout configurations, documentation, and examples have been removed. The implementation now threads only the two timeout fields with proper test coverage.
