Jobs on Windows fail without logs sometimes

[tysonite]

Sometimes, jobs on Windows fail without logs:

Examples:

• https://github.com/robotframework/robotframework/runs/1230597456
• https://github.com/robotframework/robotframework/pull/3703/checks?check_run_id=1230632395

This might be related to similar issues on macOS: #841 or #736

Hey @tysonite

I took a look at the failure! The runner abruptly disconnected which is why the step appears to have hanged and their aren't any logs available at the step.

This is a different error than the errors we've seen with our Mac VMs. We have a team internally investigating this. As a heads up internal telemetry is showing this error to come up very very infrequently. The RCA is unfortunately still unknown on our end 🤔

@tysonite , do you still experience these issues?
When you have seen repro last time?

[tysonite]

I haven't looked into this since I reported it.

As far as I see, issue has been confirmed from github end, no point to look for me further unless there is confirmation that fix was applied.

Thanks for initially opening this issue @tysonite

There can be various causes on our end that lead to jobs failing with no logs. Over the last few months we've made a host of improvements to reduce the chances of these errors happening. For now I'm going to close out this issue. If this happens again please open up a new issue and you can ping me.
