This started a couple days ago, all tests that we have that spawn processes now hang, the processes never finish and stay hanged up forever.

Were there any environment changes over these past few weeks?

Running the same tests on our local development machines shows no issues.

    Hi Mauricio,

    The last update was on May 12th: http://www.appveyor.com/updates

    Can you remember the exact date it started happening? What testing framework is that? What process do you call? How do you call that process?

    The first failure was 6 days ago, these tests spawn one of our programs.
    When running without spawning the code runs fine, when we spawn the process
    it always hangs forever at the appveyor environment.

    What was the last successful build (project/version)? Have you changed project settings or appveyor.yml since that time?

    No changes to appveyor.yml, the last successful build was the build 1.5.212
    of the spi-service repo. Username is neat-appveyor.

    We have a similar issue, just with one build however: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/sils1297/coala/build/1.0.242/job/qsoicjoswcgimuoy

    It just hang before doing anything. All other builds did build fine. Maybe its related. Please let me know if I need to open a new issue for this to be adressed.

    I see. This last 1.5.212 successful build was on May 22nd. And you tried to rebuild that b39aa4288 commit but no avail. There were like 16 successful builds between May 12th (the most recent update to workers) and May 22nd. When build worker updated, started and snapshot is made its state is immutable; any updates like Windows updates are disabled.

    There might be some external dependencies (nuget, npm, bower, etc.) that changed.

    @Lasse - nope, it's not a similar issue. Looks like some sporadic error.
