gclient sync can't pull a new tree on windows

[Jered]

gclient sync in a new tree on Windows has been hung for hours on:

"Syncing projects:  95% (107/112) src/third_party/WebKit/Source"

I don't think it's actually doing anything.

I downloaded and installed a new depot_tools zip this morning and followed the public wiki instructions.

What can I do to help diagnose this? My .gclient:

solutions = [

  { "name"        : "src",

    "url"         : "https://src.chromium.org/chrome/trunk/src",

    "deps_file"   : "DEPS",

    "managed"     : True,

    "custom_deps" : {

      "src/third_party/WebKit/LayoutTests": None,

      "src/content/test/data/layout_tests/LayoutTests": None,

      "src/chrome/tools/test/reference_build/chrome_win": None,

      "src/chrome_frame/tools/test/reference_build/chrome_win": None,

      "src/chrome/tools/test/reference_build/chrome_linux": None,

      "src/chrome/tools/test/reference_build/chrome_mac": None,

      "src/third_party/hunspell_dictionaries": None,

    },

    "safesync_url": "",

  },

]

Is it perhaps prompting? Does "svn info" in src/third_party/WebKit/Source" tell you anything?

If there's junk left in there, you could try rmdir /s/q third_party\WebKit\Source && gclient sync again.

There's no visible prompt. ^Z doesn't do anything

svn info says something entirely reasonable:

C:\chromiumtrunk\src\third_party\WebKit\Source>svn info

Path: .

URL: http://svn.webkit.org/repository/webkit/trunk/Source

Repository Root: http://svn.webkit.org/repository/webkit

By junk left in there, do you mean unversioned files in WebKit\Source? I don't think there should be, since this is a fresh tree. I will attempt to abort the sync, wipe the directory, and sync again.

^C froze gclient with the message below. I killed the hung python process, did rmdir /s/q src/third_party\WebKit\Source and ran gclient sync again from \chromiumtrunk. It's been hung with no output for about a minute.

Instead of gclient sync, maybe try svn up in WebKit\Source and see if you get more sane output. gclient sync buffers which might be confusing things. e.g. it could be the project after WebKit that's causing problems.

[Jered]

I've been serially running gclient sync, removing the directory where it bombs, and then running it over again. This sort of sucks. :-/

Is there some different more mainstream windows dev setup or am I just really unlucky today?

[Scott Graham]

Not that I know of. Perhaps there's been server troubles today, but I haven't noticed anything personally.

[Daniel Cheng]

The first sync of WebKit takes a pretty long time. Are you sure it's not just doing something and taking a really long time to do it?

​Also, I've found that passing gclient sync -f to force updates in the dependencies to be helpful when things got confused.​

Other gclient debugging steps:

Try "gclient sync -j1 -vvv"

It it looks stalled, sometimes you have to hit enter to see the message (usually svn prompt).
