Pull Request (PR) description

Limits all 12 Azure Pipelines integration-job families to 120 minutes so a stalled SQL Server media download does not occupy a Microsoft-hosted agent for approximately six hours.

Successful main builds matched to merged PR commits had longest integration-job durations between 71.47 and 75.81 minutes. The 120-minute limit provides 44.19 minutes, or 58.3 percent, of headroom above the observed maximum.

The build, QA, HQRM, unit-test, and code-coverage timeouts remain unchanged.

Validation performed:

• Parsed azure-pipelines.yml successfully with PyYAML.
• Confirmed that all 12 integration timeout values are 120 minutes.
• Confirmed that the four non-integration timeout values remain zero.
• git diff --check passed.

This Pull Request (PR) fixes the following issues

• Fixes CI: Limit integration job runtime when media downloads stall #2485

Walkthrough

Twelve Azure Pipelines integration job families now have a 120-minute timeout instead of an unlimited timeout. The changelog records the limit and links it to issue #2485. Two test configuration contexts cast $env:APPVEYOR to Boolean before passing it to -Skip.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #2485 is the only active directly linked issue. Its coding requirement is a timeoutInMinutes of 120 on the 12 integration-job families in azure-pipelines.yml. The build, QA, HQRM, unit-test, and code-coverage timeouts stay unchanged. The change summary for azure-pipelines.yml reports +12/-12 lines. It lists the 12 integration-job families, each changed from 0 to 120. The previous assessment read Test_Integration at head with timeoutInMinutes: '120', and the QA, HQRM, Unit, and Code_Coverage jobs still set '0'. The issue requires no automated test changes. The CHANGELOG.md entry references #2485. Limit: the head file read was truncated, and the diff tool could not read changed blobs. The 12 integration timeouts rest on the change summary and the previous read, not on a full direct read. The commit Fix SqlRSSetup AppVeyor test discovery is not part of the #2485 requirement and is assessed under out-of-scope changes.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No eligible functions found in the changed files. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 0 functions across 0 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The azure-pipelines.yml timeout edits and the CHANGELOG.md entry connect directly to #2485. The current head also contains commit d98d8b7, Fix SqlRSSetup AppVeyor test discovery. Its change summary lists tests/Integration/Resources/DSC_SqlRSSetup.Integration.Tests.ps1 with +2/-2 lines. Both configuration contexts now cast $env:APPVEYOR to [System.Boolean] before -Skip. This change concerns AppVeyor test discovery in SqlRSSetup integration tests. It does not concern Azure Pipelines job runtime, the #2485 requirement, or the media-download timeout. The PR description does not mention this file. The PR description lists only azure-pipelines.yml and the changelog as validated work. The previous out-of-scope PASS covered only two files and no longer covers the current head. Limit: the diff tool could not read the changed blob. This verdict relies on the change summary and the commit subject.

Resolution

Remove the Fix SqlRSSetup AppVeyor test discovery change from this pull request. Move it to a separate pull request with its own linked issue, or link an issue that requires it and update the PR description to cover it. Then reassess the out-of-scope check.
