travis ci timeouts in covr::coveralls

[Gregory Jefferis]

Dear All, 

This is not exactly on topic, but it's the best community I can think of to ask the question. The final stage of the travis test process for some of my R packages (e.g. https://github.com/jefferis/nat) is to run a code coverage analysis using the library covr 

after_success:

  - Rscript -e 'library(covr);coveralls(exlusions="R/zzz.R")'

As of yesterday, I am getting timeout errors like this (https://travis-ci.org/jefferis/nat/builds/257926460):

$ Rscript -e 'library(covr);coveralls(exlusions="R/zzz.R")'
Loading required package: methods
No output has been received in the last 10m0s, this potentially indicates a stalled build or something wrong with the build itself.
Check the details on how to adjust your build configuration on: https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/common-build-problems/#Build-times-out-because-no-output-was-received
The build has been terminated

It seems like the covr::coveralls call is stalling. No output appears on https://coveralls.io/github/jefferis/nat. Restarting a travis build that worked fine on 14th July gives the same error so it seems like the problem is some travis/coveralls interaction rather than any change in my code.

Has anyone seen anything similar? Any suggestions?

With many thanks,

Greg Jefferis.
