Readthedocs.org: Builds timeout: request for increased time limit

Created on 2 Mar 2018  路  4Comments  路  Source: readthedocs/readthedocs.org

Details

The builds are timing out after 15 minutes. By the end of 15 minutes the HTML build completes successfully, but the json (and local-media) build does not finish in time (see referenced build url). This is due to the project having a lot of documentation that needs to be built.

It also seems somewhat due to the speed of the computers performing the build - what takes about 15 minutes on readthedocs takes < 3 minutes on my several-year-old laptop.

If the build timeout could be increased to 30 or 45 minutes the builds should be successful. Also, or alternatively, if the json and local-media builds are not needed (I'm not sure what these are used for), disabling them would speed up the build.

Expected Result

A successful build.

Actual Result

Builds timeout.

Hi! We were having some performance issues yesterday and we are trying to recover from them. So, probably your build will take less time today or tomorrow (just a guessing, though)

Please, wait some time and let us know again if this is still an issue for you.

json and local-media builds are not needed

JSON is used for the search, and there is an issue to track the idea of disabling local-media at #3220

Update: I've been able to trim down the docs to get them to build within the 15-minute window, so some of the builds more recent than the one I referenced above pass. I would still like the time limit to be extended, though, since this would let me build the "unabridged" version of my docs.

Ok, thanks. I'll try to full docs again some in a few days or so.

It seems that your latest build are building properly. I'm closing here.

Anyway, those builds are five minutes away from the time limit. So, I just increased the time with 5 minutes more which should be enought for now. Feel free to request more time if it's needed, though.

Let us know in any case. Thanks!
