Request to increase time limit or any tips to mitigate timeout

I’ve asked in the GitHub support repository, but it doesn’t seem like there’s much activity these days. So, I’m coming here as it seems more appropriate.

Would it be possible to increase the time limit for the OpenToonz project to 90 minutes?

We’ve noticed that the AppVeyor build is consistently hitting the 60-minute timeout, causing delays in nightly releases and affecting community feedback on new features or bug fixes. You can see the history of these timeouts in the AppVeyor history https://ci.appveyor.com/project/opentoonz/opentoonz/history.

If increasing the time limit isn’t possible, but there’s any way to mitigate this issue, we’d greatly appreciate any tips or recommendations to help us resolve it!

Thanks so much!

    Hi, again!

    I tried removing the debug setting to see if it helps reduce execution time, and I added the skip_commits directive to prevent unnecessary workflow runs for irrelevant changes:

    skip_commits:
      files:
        - 'doc/**' # Skip everything inside doc/ (recursive)
        - '.github/**' # Skip everything inside .github/ (recursive)
        - 'README.md' # Skip changes only to README.md

    I also enabled caching for OpenCV, update to Visual Studio 2022

    However, even with these changes, the build is still exceeding the 60-minute limit.

    Bumped timeout to 90 minutes. Hope that helps.

    I would like to express our gratitude to the AppVeyor team, especially to @FeodorFitsner. The build is now working properly!
