GAE deployment issues in precompilation step

[Kesava Neeli]

Hi,

Last couple of days, GAE deployments are very slow and most times they timeout. It gets stuck in "Initializing precompilation" step and it takes forever. Anyone noticing similar issues? It's affecting our development a lot.

Thanks
Neeli

Just to confirm, our app is a "java" app. We are using older version of SDK but I guess that shouldn't cause deployment issues. The logs attached below. This started couple of days ago and getting worse for deploying java apps.

The docs say

App Engine uses a "precompilation" process with the Java bytecode of an app to enhance the performance of the app in the Java runtime environment. Precompiled code functions identically to the original bytecode.

If for some reason you prefer that your app not use precompilation, you can turn it off by adding the following to your appengine-web.xml file:

But we wish to have pre-compilation step for performance reasons. Anyone from GAE team can help?

Your SDK:
Release: 1.6.6
Timestamp: Wed May 16 14:13:34 PDT 2012

Hi,

I am also facing the exact same problem right now:

Before I had the following output:

73% Uploaded 4 files.
77% Initializing precompilation...
80% Precompiling... 17 file(s) left.
82% Precompiling... 16 file(s) left.
84% Precompiling... 12 file(s) left.
85% Precompiling... 6 file(s) left.
86% Precompiling... 4 file(s) left.
87% Precompiling... 3 file(s) left.
87% Precompiling... 2 file(s) left.
87% Precompiling... 1 file(s) left.

90% Deploying new version.

Now, for the same app, with no changes in the code, I have:

77% Initializing precompilation...
80% Precompiling... 164 file(s) left.
82% Precompiling... 116 file(s) left.

87% Precompiling... 67 file(s) left.
87% Precompiling... 67 file(s) left.
87%  on backend null.
