Build queued but no other feedback. Have no idea what it's actually doing

Continua CI Discussion

Hello,

I have added a simply configuration which has a single build stage that runs VS2010.

I have manually started a build at which point the it says 'Build Queued' but I'm not sure what its waiting for.

The 'Log' tab says 'No log file found'.

The time line has the following:

Build initialising 3 minutes ago 108 milliseconds
Build initialising 3 minutes ago 8 milliseconds Waiting for Repositories to be checked
Build initialising 3 minutes ago 2 seconds [Repository Poller] Waiting for repository 'looksoftware-trunk' to be checked.
Build initialising 3 minutes ago 33 milliseconds Associating changesets with the build.
Build initialising 3 minutes ago 12 milliseconds Initializing build on Server.
Build initialising 3 minutes ago 94 milliseconds Initializing build Workspace on Server.
Build initialising 3 minutes ago 7 milliseconds Creating build log file.
Build initialising 3 minutes ago 38 milliseconds Creating build Stages.
Build initialising 3 minutes ago 15 milliseconds Queueing Build
Build queued 3 minutes ago 3 minutes 

Status is 'Stage Not Run'

Seems like it should have a log file since it said it created one.

Any idea?

Thanks,

Simon. K

Hi Simon

Please try the latest build I just posted, if you see the same issue with that build then please provide more info on what you have configured.

Hi Vincent,

I’ve updated to 1.0.0.1250.

Now it seems to be stuck on ‘[Repository Poller] Waiting for repository ‘looksoftware-trunk’ to be checked.’

Ok, it finally changed saying that it does not have a compatible agent. I think it was because I had added a 'Finalbuilder 7' action and then disabled it rather than deleting it.

Cool, now it's running my build step

The waiting for repository message can take a while if it’s the first time, depending on the repository type. For dvcs’s like git or mercurial it has to clone the repo. Other repo types will be quicker the first time as we just get the latest copy of the source. FWIW, mercurial will be quicker than the others after the first check, because it’s what we use internally as our repo cache on the server and the agent.

Hi Vincent,
I am having the exact same issue. Where can I find the latest build you mentioned yesterday - “Please try the latest build I just posted”?
Thanks,
