Build process is stuck

[Juan Carlos Bustamante]

Hello to everyone,

Whe buiding (any target), I run into a new problem. The pretext build web command does not finish. Instead it gets stuck at

input directory expanded to absolute path: /../Sandbox/new-pretext-project/assets

As you see, I am getting this *also* on a fresh project. The pretext build web -g command got stuck at the same place, after generating what was needed.

I am on Ubuntu 22.04 and upgraded to pretext 1.4.0. The problem first showed at 1.3.0, though.

Can try on another machine, later. But this is quite weird, and the machine I am using is the usual one.

Any suggestion?

JC

Update :

The build actually finishes, 2 later, on the same machine I was using before.
The command time pretext build web gives, at the end

Success! Run `pretext view web` to see the results.

That leads me to suspect:

https://runestone.academy/cdn/runestone/6.4.4dev/

which is fine for me. Can you reach that URL in a web browser?

Please post *all* of the output with debugging enabled, subsequent lines could
be helpful.

Hello,

I am able to reach the URL you point. It take no longer that what is normally expected.

Here is the output. I only cropped the path to the .ptx files

Thanks!

If you don't want to mess with the core pretext/pretext script, sharing a GitHub repository with your code would allow me to investigate directly.

@Oscar I should really get on https://github.com/PreTeXtBook/pretext-cli/issues/330 so folks that want to see the result of pretext/pretext from CLI users can do so without the cumbersome installation process involved with pretext/pretext.

[Steven Clontz]

Ah I just clocked that this isn't an issue with source as you're reporting the issue on a new project.

I'm going to try to update the CLI so tomorrow you can install the nightly release and access the core services Rob is suggesting.

It is an important tool for development, and should not be cumbersome for
developers.

So with nobody knowledgeable about the CLI providing help on this thread, it was
the next thing for me to suggest.

Hello again,

I made new tests from different locations (so different Internet providers), and the problem seems to be gone. Later on today I will make a more complete set of tests, from home (where the problem originally showed up).

At the same time, the fact that I was able to reach the URL provided by Bob makes me think that's not the problem.

I ran time pretext build web for the same project as before. Everything went (almost) flawlessly :
real    0m4,914s
user    0m1,577s
sys     0m0,100s

I just noticed a small lag right after

input directory expanded to absolute path: /home/local/.../SCQ726-pretext/assets

Kind regards,

JC

Thanks, JC.

Your original report was in the vicinity of getting info about the latest
Javascript from a Runestone server, so that could be explained by sporadic
problems with the Internet somewhere (anywhere!) along the way.

After some amount of waiting, we fall back to slightly older info that lives in
the repository itself. You'll get a good build, but maybe a couple weeks behind on

Doing a debugging run *right after* you see a problem might relay the errors
that cause the delay and the fallback - if that really is the source of the problem.

So lets see if it happens again?

Hello again.

Thanks Bob for the input. It looks like there is some problem with the internet access, but it seems to me that this is the combination : home internet provider + cli 1.4.0.  I ran the command time pretext build web, on the same project :

• From home, with the faculty provided laptop (recent i7, ubuntu 22.04)
  Some lag after the following line appears on the terminal
  
  input directory expanded to absolute path: /.../assets

The final part of the output is
real    2m12,923s
user    0m1,455s
sys     0m0,089s

• From the university, same computer, tha lag was much smaller (at the same moment), nothing really noticeable, those were the results I posted yesterday.

• 
  real    0m4,914s
  user    0m1,577s
  sys     0m0,100s
  
  

• From home, with personal laptop (old i7, ubuntu 20.04), with **cli 1.0.4**
  No lag at all, 
  real    0m2.655s
  user    0m2.463s
  sys     0m0.132s
  
• From home, with personal laptop (same as above), after upgrading to cli 1.4.0
  Big lag, at the same place, output 
  real    2m14.027s
  user    0m2.745s
  sys     0m0.176s
  

Strange, isn't it?

How do I go back to 1.3.x?

To install a particular version of the CLI, run, for example, pip install pretext==1.3.0.

If you don't mind experimenting a bit, it will be helpful to determine the last version of the CLI that doesn't cause the issue.

[Steven Clontz]

If I recall correctly, core pretext added some phoning home to Runestone servers during the build process sometime between those releases (that is, I think this is the result of a core pretext Python routine change, not a CLI issue, but I could very well be mistaken).

[Juan Carlos Bustamante]

Hello again,

I figured out how to install a previous version, but that gave lots of errors. In any case, the problem was still there after a (not error-free) downgrade. I'm back to 1.4.0.

However, I had some issues with my Internet provider, looks like some ipv6 addresses were not working. I do not know what they did, but at this time things are back to normal, at least from home. Last time I built from the office there still was a little lag, not very annoying.

Kind regards,

JC
