Maybe this can help us understand

I can take a look at this today evening if someone isn't already looking at it. 😄

@SudharakaP : I don't think it's related to timeout. I believe there is a real issue here but I didn't manage to reproduce locally.
I already restart the build 6 or 7 times and it always failed for EntityWithServiceClassPaginationAndDTO

[SudharakaP]

@pascalgrimaud : Agreed. I am trying to find that root cause currently :thinking:

[SudharakaP]

@kaidohallik : Wonderful, thanks! That fixed it :smile:

As better fix https://github.com/jhipster/generator-jhipster/pull/10820 is also merged then I'm claiming bounty: https://opencollective.com/generator-jhipster/expenses/12569

And seems that this is already approved before I could add this comment :)

[pascalgrimaud]

yes, I approuved it, as I know your email :)
