BuildForge "Connection to agent timed out"
I am getting this error while zipping a large folder (300M) with Winzip. It's times out after 5 minutes. I did:
1. Add a environment variable in the project _TIMEOUT=600. I can see this taking effect when I start the project.
2. Change the Administration --> System values as follows:
3. Restarted the BF mgmt console, all agents.
But I am still getting this error. My BF are at version 7.1.1.3. Do you need to upgrade?

One answer
You may need to upgrade, as there were a few defects associated with that version of Build Forge.
How long does the Winzip command run on its own? We can only assume it's over 5 minutes at this point. What you may want to try to to place the Winzip command in a wrapper that produces an echo of some kind. ie: echo "Still running..." As long as the bfagent provides some type of direct feedback to the console, you should be able to avoid the agent timeout error. |
