Github likes to queue the build... for a while. #2

Hmm, it's hard not to believe this delay isn't the result of some sort of new enshitification (https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/21/potemkin-ai/#hey-guys) ploy on the part of Microsoft. Perhaps the old Readme with instructions for local builds should be dusted off? |
hi there it's hanging for me too (10 minutes and counting) - it always used to run in 30-40 seconds
I've contacted Github Education - I and my students use free Github resources through their education programme for universities I'll post again here once I hear back from them to see what is happening ... .. matt .. |
Thanks for investigating, Matt! There don't appear to be any published outages on this page: https://www.githubstatus.com/ |
And... just got a note saying my build failed. :) That was a long wait. |
I got a fail notification today, with a note to a deprecation of Ubuntu-18.04 I made that change to the actions yaml and it seems to have passed
But it's looking hopeful that things may be due to the deprecating of Ubuntu-18 and not a shitification by Github by not giving resources to runners But I'm surprised dependabot or some agent didn't highlight the deprecated virtual machine configuration before now However, I was not able to email GitHub education the way I used to - I got redirected to the mess of support pages and forums
|
it seems a runner is not picked up if there are issues with the actions YAML contents
but seems to be picking up runners in less than a minute now - so hopefully good enough for reliable thesis generation .. matt .. refs: |
Great that you got to the bottom of it! But have the people at Microsoft Github never heard of error messages? If they have code that stops runners from picking things up, how hard can it be to have that code tell the user why? |
yes they could have made it a lot easier to track down the problem!
when it works, Github Actions, Codespaces etc. give a great free introduction to development stuff for students
I think any company that does't give decent stuff to free to students is crazy, since once they working they'll want to use the same too regards .. matt .. |
Hi - and thanks for taking the time and trouble to share this!
Just an FYI that at least for me, github is queuing the build instead of doing it immediately. I'm at 20 minutes since my last push and it has yet to start. It's possible they are low prioritizing me as I don't give 'em any money or have special status. Perhaps they run through your builds faster because you do?
Anyhow - just thought I'd mention it so you are aware.
