Go Tour ok?

[Anssi Porttikivi]

I had to run the Go Tour locally, because the web version gives me odd "timed out" and "build failed" (with no reason) errors indeterministically... Is it just me?

On a quick test of a few pages it works for me - but that doesn't prove anything one way or the other.

If you try it again, and it still fails, have a look in your browser's console to see what requests it was making and what response it got (HTTP status code, any error message in the body).  That might give a clue.

  

Do you have any sort of web proxy between you and the Internet?  Could it be a local connectivity issue?

I was having the same trouble earlier today. The build (or run) was
timing out, and the tour seemed to be caching that result so that simply
retrying came back immediately with "timed out", whereas the first time
took a few seconds. Changing the code (adding an innocuous comment)
allowed it to run.

Note that this was the play window reporting that the build or run timed
out, it was not an HTTP timeout.

Yes, exactly that happened, your bug reporting is better than mine. ;-)
