I'm deploying to CircleCI and but my code is timing out.

The command in particular that CircleCI is calling that's causing the time-out is during the checkout stage:

git reset --hard SHA

Where SHA is the hash of the build, but upon ssh'ing in I noted that HEAD and others that I tried also run forever.

At that point the code has been checked out with:

git clone --quiet git@github.com:Organization/Repo.git . --config core.compression=9 --depth 10 --no-single-branch

Why would git reset --hard run (seemingly) forever on the CircleCI environment, and what fixes are reasonably available?

More details (we've got some git-lfs files here, too):

  • lsb-release Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS
  • git version 2.11.0
  • git-lfs/1.5.4 (GitHub; linux amd64; go 1.7.4)

EDIT This appears related to:

I would also note that adding GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE=1 (in the CircleCI Project config) has not had any useful effect.

It does help to go back to Ubuntu 12, but obviously that's less than ideal.

EDIT

Here's a recent bug report I filed: https://discuss.circleci.com/t/cannot-pull-with-git-lfs/14346

(Just to ensure visibility, because my other reports were buried in comments)

    Probably the Git-LFS 1.5.x bug fixed in 1.5.6: https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/pull/1932 – torek Jul 08 '17 at 14:38
  • @torek Thanks. I'm thinking then that the best answer here is to pick a docker image for CircleCI that has git-lfs 1.5.6. – Brian M. Hunt Jul 10 '17 at 13:28

The issue was a typo, namely that CircleCI was running version 1.0, but should have been using 2.0.

In particular, I had created a .circleci/config.yaml, with the appropriate config.

... however, it should've been called .circleci/config.yml.
