How can I do string to integer conversion in a Jenkinsfile?

Question

I have the following in my Jenkinsfile:

pipeline {
    agent none
    environment {
        timeout_mins = 1
    }
    options {
        timeout(time: "$

As @burnettk says it’s a limitation with the options block. It's not the most elegant but you can use timeout as a step e.g.

pipeline {
    agent none
    environment {
        timeout_mins = 1
    }
    stages {
        stage("test print") {
            steps {
                timeout(time: env.timeout_mins.toInteger(), unit: 'MINUTES') {
                    echo "timeout_mins: ${env.timeout_mins}"
                    sh "sleep 120"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
