Action runs for 30 mins then cancels, no errors

[Ethan Jon]

We've been using the action for a while and it's been really great. But recently we encountered a license error, so I bought a license and am providing it to the action. Unfortunately, the action is still failing, even though it appears our app code is working as expected. Can you help?

Hi @e10jon, and thanks for buying the license. I can confirm the action went through, but as you say something is not working properly when booting the app since it ends up in timeout.

A few things you can try to debug further:

• remove the pullpreview label, wait until the environment is destroyed, then re-apply the label. This will make sure you start from a fresh instance.
• increase the timeout to e.g. 40min just to see if it makes any difference.
• log into the EC2 instance while the deployment is occurring, and have a look around with htop, docker logs, docker ps etc. see if you are running out of memory or see misbehaving containers.
• log into the EC2 instance, and manually start the compose stack to see if any errors are output interactively:

ssh ec2-user@IP
cd /app
cat $(env /etc/pullpreview/env) docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml,docker-compose.preview.yml up

Judging by the number of containers you start, you may also want to try a larger instance type to see if it makes any difference.

Please let me know if you need any further help, we can also schedule a pairing session if the problem persists.

Also facing this issue. I will try the steps you mentioned for debugging further.

@e10jon were you able to fix your issues?

Sorry, I forgot to respond on this!

The problem was with our code. I was able to use docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.preview.yml up to identity and fix the problem.
