Meaning

Processes default to a 60-second timeout. Increase it with ->setTimeout(300) / Process::timeout(300), set null for no timeout (careful), or run long jobs in queues. idle timeout triggers when there is no output for the set period.

Common causes

  • Long build/artisan commands launched from PHP
  • Default 60s timeout
  • Waiting on interactive input
  • Network-dependent command hanging
  • idleTimeout reached

⚡ Quick fix

  1. Process::timeout(300)->run('npm run build') or $process->setTimeout(300)
  2. Run it asynchronously in a queued job
  3. Make commands non-interactive

Detailed fix by platform

Laravel

  1. Process::timeout(600)->run(['composer', 'install', '--no-interaction']);

How to diagnose

  1. Command — Duration?
  2. Timeout — Value set?
  3. Input — Interactive?
