Environment builds taking a long time to complete

Billy Sharpe

Hello all,

I created Bamboo job that was running fine for months. It would take about 5 minutes to complete because I was loading python packages through a virtual environment, so it was taking a while to download them. 

I have not made any changes to the build or python script, but it's now taking hours to complete. I ensured the data size was the same, but it's still taking hours. 

 

(I have 4 agents which are able to build it, and they all have the same issue)

Where do I begin investigating this issue?

Hello @Billy Sharpe

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

To troubleshoot "mysterious builds" you would ideally:

1. Log into the Bamboo Agent that runs the build
2. "su" to the Bamboo user account
3. Go to the <bamboo-agent-home>/xml-data/build-dir/<PROJ-PLAN-JOB> directory
4. Run that slow Job commands manually and analyse their output

Following these steps will allow you to observe how the build behaves when outside of the Bamboo scope. When running the Job tasks manually, you may have to declare certain variables or properties by hand depending on how your Plan is constructed.
