Intermittent 504s downloading from github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs #27

Closed jinnovation closed 2 years ago

jinnovation commented 2 years ago

I use setup-emacs for CI in kubernetes-el.

In the last couple of days I've noticed intermittent failures in CI steps using purcell/setup-emacs@master. These appear to consistently stem from 504s in downloading from NixOS/nixpkgs:

warning: error: unable to download 'https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/48acffcc81a5acd315c0b719d1f624223efca99d.tar.gz': HTTP error 504

See this particular test run for an example.

Anything in either setup-emacs or nix-emacs-ci that needs to be updated?

Thanks as always 😎

I'm getting the same thing.

Here is another example if it helps. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help/fix it.

I've seen sporadic issues in CI downloading that URL, but there's nothing particularly special about it. I'll update it to a newer revision in case Github's tarball cache is messed up, but I'm wondering if it's some sort of rate-limiting thing going on, or transient errors on github's side.

Update done, maybe that will be more reliable, but that will be more a matter of luck than having fixed a well-understood issue.

Thanks so much for letting me know that you've been having issues, it's hard for me to have broad visibility of that.

Thanks for following up @purcell ✌️
