Fetch Chromium Keeps failing

[Lingeshwaran Palaniappan]

Hi,

I am doing a fresh checkout using the git checkout instruction and fetch chromium keeps failing with the error that it got no output for x seconds and killing the process.

(I wiped my exact error but I am sure I will get it again and paste the exact text if needed)

I looked at .gclient and it looks like it is downloading all the files. Would it be OK to change the .gclient to exclude some of the big directories(like layouttests)? 

What I am thinking is, do a fetch chromium, when it fails edit the .gclient's custom deps and run gclient sync(on the unfinished checkout). Would that work?

Any other ideas?

Thanks!

Here is the latest error(although this is different from the process killed error I mentioned earlier)

1>error: RPC failed; result=18, HTTP code = 200

1>fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

1>fatal: early EOF

1>fatal: index-pack failed

It's very difficult to get it to complete on Windows.

You might try https://codereview.chromium.org/16004008/ or use "fetch -n" and then run the commands it emits manually.

For what it's worth, I tried `fetch chromium` four times on a Windows box on Chromium and it never succeeded for me. I ended up using the old git method (manually clone the chromium git repo, then use `gclient init` in svn mode to pull deps), which worked fine.

Nico what are the commands to do it manually?

Scott - when I type in the -n option it is not recognized.(I typed in fetch -n chromium, The error is index out of range)

Thanks!

Perhaps make sure your depot_tools is properly up to date? I get this:

Scott - you seem to be using the command prompt. I am running fetch chromium under cygwin. Is that right?

[Scott Graham]

I don't see any reason why cygwin wouldn't work (depot_tools/fetch looks reasonable?), but yes, I'm using cmd and depot_tools\fetch.bat.

[Lingeshwaran Palaniappan]

I got the depot_tools issues resolved(it was actually up to date but I had a left over folder by the name src from previous attempts which was the cause of the error)

fetch -n works now. I am doing the commands manually. 

Thanks Scott. Fingers crossed!

[Stephen Chenney]

The only way I made it succeed last week was to edit depot_tools/gclient_scm.py and change lines 123 and 124:

nag_timer = 60

nag_max = 100

Then do each command individually (although it also works, I think, if you do it all in one shot).

You probably want to change it back again when you're done. There are a couple of errors you can ignore - they happen after git steps to rebuild indexes, or something like that. Don't be scared if the whole thing seems to hang for a long time - it is doing something.

Cheers,

Stephen.
