It managed to hang up right as I was leaving on a long weekend trip, and I didn't notice until I got back. I wanted to get a fresh runner going anyway, for the latest Windows Updates, but was waiting until I got back to try to avoid any issues while I was gone 😁. New runner is going now |

@jeremyd2019 Would you like to check if this CI job is stuck again https://github.com/msys2-arm/msys2-autobuild/actions/runs/6570301888 ? |

I've been ruminating on the idea of some sort of 'watchdog' to detect and kill stuck pacman processes automatically, but I haven't settled on the best language/technology to do so. It seems like python would be most convenient since autobuild is already python, I could put a background thread like I did to try polling the token, but I'm not familiar with process querying/killing modules. What I've got so far is a cygwin commands to get the cygwin pid of the process I want to kill (what I really want is the child pacman process, this gets the newest pacman process older than 1800 seconds) coupled with the script I already had (because when stuck in this state cygwin kill is not sufficient) |
|
It would be a bit clear if the reason of such CI failure is explained. |
|
lost power, so any lack of runner in the near future will be due to that power is back |
|
unstuck it. the powershell variant in git-for-windows/git-for-windows-automation#61 (comment) was intriguing, it seems like it could be close to being turned into a 'watchdog', would just need to also query CreationDate field to see any pacman processes that have been running a long time (like a half hour? or hour?), and then arrange for it to run continuously (scheduled task?). Of course, I'd much rather get whatever bug is causing this fixed... |
|
There's a stuck job now, but it doesn't seem to be the runner this time. Probably something on Github's end. |
|
This seems to be a different issue. I think maybe the machine rebooted. I did a quick check and didn't notice any excess packages installed. |
|
"echo: write error: No space left on device" |
|
What?!? I deleted some of the cruft under |
|
Is #76 related? Otherwise, try good old WinDirStat :) |
seems to have gotten unstuck and errored out after some hours. (or anyone poked at it?) Unrelated note: Runner groups are now available for everyone it seems. Not that it makes much difference with the current setup with a separate org, but good to know: https://github.blog/changelog/2024-10-17-actions-runner-groups-now-available-for-organizations-on-free-plan/ |
I killed the child pacman process, as usual.
Yeah, I could do away with the extra labels to differentiate between autobuild and CI instances and enforce it with runner groups instead, presumably. |
This CI job is running for days https://github.com/msys2-arm/msys2-autobuild/actions/runs/6508662089
