lately. Builds are randomly stuck and will eventually time out
unless I cancel them. It's not much though, as it might have been 4
builds out of 60 or so.</p>
<p>Anyway, these are the builds:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href=
"https://ci.appveyor.com/project/Archomeda/lightfx-extender/build/0.2.3.20">
Stuck in PowerShell script</a>: This script updates the version
number inside a file and also on AppVeyor (by using
Update-AppveyorBuild). Don't know why it got stuck.<br></li>
<li><a href=
"https://ci.appveyor.com/project/Archomeda/lightfx-extender/build/0.3.1.71-dev-lightfx-device/job/j8vghlhoaq6b9r6k">
Random unhandled exception in msbuild</a>: Don't know why it threw
that exception, other jobs were/are fine and it only happened once
so far (it got stuck after this exception, had to cancel it).</li>
<li><a href=
"https://ci.appveyor.com/project/Archomeda/lightfx-extender/build/0.3.1.78-dev-lightfx-device/job/rt3hjqmg36030520">
Stuck in PowerShell script again</a>: This time I don't even have a
clue where it got stuck. There's not even an output here.</li>
<li><a href=
"https://ci.appveyor.com/project/Archomeda/lightfx-extender/build/0.3.1.80/job/2fm8x1oup9kugvcf">
Stuck when cloning</a>: Again, clueless (depending whether the
other job in the matrix fails or succeeds, the link might change to
<a href=
"https://ci.appveyor.com/project/Archomeda/lightfx-extender/build/0.3.1.80-dev/job/2fm8x1oup9kugvcf">
this</a>)</li>
</ul>
<p>These failures seem totally random to me, as most of the time
the jobs are running just fine. Is there some sort of error on my
part or are the servers having a hiccup?</p></div>archomedatag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/362381132015-03-09T21:14:36Z2015-03-09T21:14:36ZBuilds are randomly stuck<div><p>Don't stop <a href=
"https://ci.appveyor.com/project/Archomeda/lightfx-extender/build/0.3.1.80/job/2fm8x1oup9kugvcf">
this one</a> for now I'm going to take a look.</p></div>Feodor Fitsnertag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/362381132015-03-09T21:19:20Z2015-03-09T21:19:20ZBuilds are randomly stuck<div><p>I figured it would be helpful to keep it running just in case it
was needed ^^<br>
Thanks for taking a look!</p></div>archomedatag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/362381132015-03-09T21:21:42Z2015-03-09T21:21:42ZBuilds are randomly stuck<div><p>That build...looks like the system decided the worker unhealthy
and recycled it immediately after the build started. Will try to
re-construct what happened.</p></div>Feodor Fitsnertag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/362381132015-03-09T21:46:09Z2015-03-09T21:46:09ZBuilds are randomly stuck<div><p>Hmm, is it a coincidence that the <a href=
"https://ci.appveyor.com/project/Archomeda/lightfx-extender/build/0.3.1.81/job/vpn8vi1gwhtqerh0">
next build that was in queue</a> is currently stuck as well, or are
you working on it? :)</p></div>archomedatag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/362381132015-03-09T21:49:43Z2015-03-09T21:49:43ZBuilds are randomly stuck<div><p>I'm afraid it's not a coincidence but it's a bug. Looks like it
happens when worker is provisioned in the second or 3rd region
(i.e. when it takes longer than 5 minutes).</p></div>Feodor Fitsnertag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/362381132015-03-09T21:58:28Z2015-03-09T21:58:28ZBuilds are randomly stuck<div><p>Right, I understand. Is there anything else I can do on my part,
or do I have to wait for it to get fixed?</p></div>archomedatag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/362381132015-03-09T22:01:37Z2015-03-09T22:01:37ZBuilds are randomly stuck<div><p>Thanks, I've got enough data. Will be fixing that. Hopefully,
will deploy update later today.</p></div>Feodor Fitsnertag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/362381132015-03-09T22:05:27Z2015-03-09T22:05:27ZBuilds are randomly stuck<div><p>Okay, looking forward to it. Thanks for your quick response!</p></div>archomedatag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/362381132015-03-10T04:20:04Z2015-03-10T04:20:04ZBuilds are randomly stuck<div><p>Just deployed an update with a fix for this issue. Seems like
it's gone?</p></div>Feodor Fitsnertag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/362381132015-03-10T18:45:19Z2015-03-10T18:45:19ZBuilds are randomly stuck<div><p>Did a couple of builds, and so far no issues yet.<br>
I trust that it's solved, so I'll close this. If I happen to come
across this problem again, I'll let you know.</p>
<p>Thanks again!</p></div>archomeda
