Drone step hanging for a bit after cache restore

[xvandish]

Describe the bug In Drone, when running the plugin on a cache restore using GCS, the restorer component prints out that restore is finished and took x seconds. The Drone step for the restore, however, doesn't terminate for another ~30-50s. A screenshot is attached below.

In the screenshot you can see the component=restorer msg="cache restored" took=11.174617156s is printed as 12s by drone, but the pipeline step that does the restore still took ~54s.

The cache restored message is printed here and called by Exec here, and I don't see any work that occurs after. Could it be a hanging gcs connection that isn't immediately terminated and a worker waits around for? I'll take a look on my own, but figured I'd file this just in case this is a know issue or I made a mistake somewhere.

Any questions let me know, thanks!

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Using ... config (in .jsonnet format)

   local RebuildOrRestoreCache(isRestore) = {
   name: "%s-cache" % (if isRestore then "restore" else "rebuild"),
   image: "meltwater/drone-cache:latest",
   environment: {
   GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS: "./credentials.json",
   BACKEND_OPERATION_TIMEOUT: "12m"
   },
   pull: "if-not-exists",
   settings: {
   debug: true,
   backend: "gcs",
   restore: isRestore,
   rebuild: !isRestore,
   override: false,
   // checksum function provided by plugin - https://github.com/meltwater/drone-cache/blob/master/DOCS.md#using-cache-key-templates
   cache_key: '{{ checksum "yarn.lock" }}',
   archive_format: "gzip",
   bucket: "...",
   region: "...",
   mount: [
     "node_modules",
   ],
   },
   };

2. While ... Running the restore-cache step created above
3. See error Pipeline step finishes much later than the final output.

Thank you for reporting this issue, we will investigate as soon as possible.

@xvandish is this still an issue you are facing? If so I can try to replicate it, though not having used GCS and having no live test enviropnment for it this may prove challenging to replicate.

@bdebyl I'm facing the same kind of issue with AWS S3.

Hi, I have the exact same issue on premise using a local volume. Logs state it takes a few sec (around 10s) but step lasts for between 1 and 2 minutes. I wondered if it can be due to the updates drone does to the pod images (replacing placeholders) but if so it is not convenient and we should report them to implement the pipeline differently on kubernetes probably.

Hi,

any news on that? I get it on a single node kubernetes cluster with a local host volume for the cache so it is quite weird and bothering for a pipeline which should be fast (~1mn) it adds another minute of overhead/latency.
