I have a scope which has a custom compensation. My scope has a timeout value
and after the timeout the custom compensation should be called but it never
does.

Transaction is 'long running'.

Is this a bug as I have seen this issue mentioned somewhere else. Thanks.

1) Compensations are only called when the transaction succeeeds - but the
outer scope thinks it should roll back.  So you are wrong to think that the
compensation will be called when the timeout happens.  In fact  - if the
transaction fails - the compensation will *never* be called.
2) Custom compensations aren't called automatically. In order for a scope's
compensation to be called, an outer scope has to have its compensation
called (for default compensations) or the outer scope must decide something
is wrong - throw an exception and call the inner scope's compensation block
from inside of an exception.

Thank you very much. Of course it makes sense now 
I got around the problem by using a Listen shape instead. That way I am able
to handle the timeout as well as Receive a file, whichever comes first.
