If the orb does not already have a parameter for this, it may not yet have been a concern. The way to handle this in an orb is to “pass through” the parameter.
You can see here in the Python Orb’s install-packages command, we “pass through” no_output_timeout.
type: string
default: requirements.txt
description: |
Name of the requirements file that needs to be installed with pip. Prepended with `app-dir`. If using pipenv or poetry, this is ignored.
If using `pip-dist`, use this to use the cache checksum against the `setup.py` if desired.
If `pip-dependency-file` is set to an empty string, no dependency file is used in the `pip install` command.
app-dir:
type: string
default: "."
description: Path to the directory containing your python project. Not needed if dependency file lives in the root.
no_output_timeout:
type: string
default: "10m"
description: Elapsed time the command can run without output. Passed to install command.
venv-cache:
type: boolean
default: true
description: Use the lockfile to cache the virtualenv. Not used with pip as pkg-manager.
pypi-cache:
type: boolean
default: true
