⏱️ Build Failed: Timeout

conn read: read tcp 127.0.0.1:51326->127.0.0.1:41607: i/o timeout

Build Details

Category	Details
Build System	melange
Failure Point	qemu: waiting for SSH

Root Cause Analysis 🔍

The QEMU virtual machine failed to establish SSH connectivity within the expected timeout period. This appears to be a network connectivity issue between the host and the ephemeral VM during the build process initialization phase.

Suggested Changes

File: grafana-image-renderer.yaml

• modification (test.pipeline section)
  Original:

timeout: 5

Replacement:

timeout: 30

Content:

Increase the daemon check timeout from 5 seconds to 30 seconds to allow more time for the application to start in slower build environments

• addition (test.pipeline.start command)
  Original:

start: "dumb-init -- node build/app.js server --config=config.json"

Replacement:

start: "timeout 25 dumb-init -- node build/app.js server --config=config.json"

Content:

Wrap the start command with a timeout to prevent indefinite hanging that could cause SSH connectivity issues

• addition (environment.contents.packages section)
  Original:

- yarn

Replacement:

- yarn
      - procps

Content:

Add procps package to provide process management utilities that may help with service startup detection

Analysis

No similar fixed build failures were provided for analysis. The current failure is a QEMU SSH connectivity timeout during the build process initialization phase. This type of failure typically occurs when the virtualized build environment fails to establish proper network connectivity or when resource constraints prevent timely SSH service startup in the ephemeral VM.

Click to expand fix explanation

Explanation

The QEMU SSH timeout failure suggests that the build environment is struggling to establish connectivity, likely due to resource constraints or timing issues during the test phase. The suggested changes address this by: 1) Increasing the test timeout from 5 to 30 seconds to accommodate slower startup times in resource-constrained environments, 2) Adding a timeout wrapper to the application start command to prevent processes from hanging indefinitely and potentially blocking SSH connectivity, and 3) Adding procps to provide better process management tools that can help with service startup detection. These changes target the most likely cause - insufficient time allowances during the testing phase that could manifest as SSH connectivity issues in the QEMU environment.

Alternative Approaches

• Remove the test pipeline entirely if it's not critical for package validation
• Replace the daemon-check-output test with a simpler test that doesn't require service startup
• Add retry logic to the test pipeline with multiple shorter timeout attempts
• Configure QEMU with different network settings or increased memory allocation if build system configuration is accessible

Looks like they've migrated to Go, so we'll have to follow suit. grafana/grafana-image-renderer#818
