fetch gives me "core.deltaBaseCacheLimit=512m"

[Kevin Luty]

I'm looking for what to try next after trying to build chromium on Windows 7 x64 using non-Cygwin.

So I'm following this and I've gotten to Step 3.

my PATH is:

C:\Users\kevlut\Documents\GitHub\depot_tools

In cmd.exe (Admin), after calling:

fetch --nohooks chromium

A folder, "_gclient_src_xgjzme", is created at path and eventually, I get this:

[0:38:50] Still working on:
[0:38:50]   src
WARNING: subprocess '"git" "-c" "core.deltaBaseCacheLimit=512m" "fetch" "origin

[0:39:10] Still working on:
[0:39:10]   src

I don't see any "src" folder in depot_tools.

I then notice "_bad_scm" folder is created and placed inside my PATH.  Then it seems it tries to fetch again instead of taking a nap because I also see a "_gclient_src_lbkjvr" folder created in PATH. 

I looked for a "deltaBaseCacheLimit" setting in my .git folder+files but I do not see it.  Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place.  

Every time it "fails" the size of "_bad_scm" is ~2.52 GB.  This is my 6th time trying.  It'll usually fail twice before I have to restart it (call fetch --nohooks chromium again).  After the second time I see a "src" folder with nothing but a ".git" folder inside of it.

For what its worth, here is my depot_tools/.git/config:

[core]
repositoryformatversion = 0
filemode = false
bare = false
logallrefupdates = true
symlinks = false
ignorecase = true
hideDotFiles = dotGitOnly
[remote "origin"]
url = https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "master"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/master

depot_tools/.gclient:

solutions = [{u'managed': False, u'name': u'src', u'url': u'https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git', u'custom_deps': {}, u'deps_file': u'.DEPS.git', u'safesync_url': u''}]

Here is the message after the second time fails:

It isn't intended that you fetch inside depot_tools, normally src and depot_tools would be siblings. I don't know if that's causing your errors though.

Going to extract depot_tools again and try this.

[Primiano Tucci]

this is probably due to a flaky network connection.
try fetch --no-history chromium, should reduce drastically the checkout size

[Sasha Bermeister]

You could also just try:

$ cd chromium

$ git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git

Then create a .gclient file yourself containing something like:

solutions = [{u'managed': False, u'name': u'src', u'url': u'https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git', u'custom_deps': {}, u'deps_file': u'.DEPS.git', u'safesync_url': u''}]

Then just run the sync to update all the submodules:

$ cd src

$ gclient sync

Breaking it into steps this way might just help prevent you from starting all over again whenever it fails :)

This is precisely what "fetch chromium" does. Why that would reduce the number of failures? 

Once fetch chromium fails, you can just gclient sync to retry and fetch the subproject that failed.

Running git directly from the shell prompt may reveal the underlying
problem. 'fetch' and 'gclient' may be hiding terminal spew coming
from the underlying git process.
