How to set a Start-To-Close Timeout in Go

To set a Start-To-Close Timeout, create an instance of ActivityOptions from the go.temporal.io/sdk/workflow package, set the StartToCloseTimeout field, and then use the WithActivityOptions() API to apply the options to the instance of workflow.Context.

This or ScheduleToClose must be set.

  • Type: time.Duration
  • Default: Same as the ScheduleToCloseTimeout
activityoptions := workflow.ActivityOptions{
  StartToCloseTimeout: 10 * time.Second,
}
ctx = workflow.WithActivityOptions(ctx, activityoptions)
var yourActivityResult YourActivityResult
err = workflow.ExecuteActivity(ctx, YourActivityDefinition, yourActivityParam).Get(ctx, &yourActivityResult)
if err != nil {
  // ...
}
