[Feature Request] when: on_fail does not work on timeout

Build Environment
1

I added slack notification command with when: on_fail, but it did not work when a timeout occurred.

  slack_notice_on_fail:
    steps:
      - run:
          name: 'failed notice'
          command: |
              curl -X POST -H 'Content-type: application/json' \
                --data \
                "{ \
                  \"text\": \"<!channel> failure\" \
                }" $SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL
            fi
          when: on_fail

jobs:
  build:
    executor:
      name: cloud-sdk
    steps:
      - checkout
      - run:
          name: 'build'
          command: some_long_running_command.sh
          no_output_timout: 1h
      - slack_notice_on_fail

I prefer when: on_fail works on timeout, too.

Hi, and welcome to Discuss!

That sounds like a great idea. Would you please add that to our Ideas page, so other users can vote on it, too? We use the Ideas page to prioritize future development.

Hello Team,

Was this fixed, because apparently when:always or " || true" also do not work with timeout
