(I've only tagged this as "Major" as it's majorly annoying! - there is a manual workaround)

Our main Codehaus instance (and test instances) all suffer from unreliable connections back to the SVN servers (as they are countries apart I suspect).

Whenever there is a timeout for N periods, the build is disabled. However disabling the build is not really required - it should just wait until the server is available again (perhaps with some kind of backoff algorithm.

So if there is any network outage, all my build plans are disabled - 15 odd at the moment, more in the future. That's a lot of clicking to get everything going again, and I have to notice first.

Thanks,

Ben

Ben,

Some other people also have had problems with this feature. We have had some debate whether to just remove it completely. Do you reckon that'd be okay for you?

Cheers,

I think disabling this would be useful for Codehaus.

However I think some visual or other notification that the build has been unable to run for a period of time would also be useful.

The rationale:

If the build is running successfully I won't receive emails.
If the build can't check out, then I'd like to know occasionally - eg. after a day (a tradeoff between notifying too frequently and not early enough).

The build should probably also be highlighted ("This build hasn't been able to connect to the source code repository for X days" in dayglo orange text)

(I'm clearly not a graphic designer!)

+1 for disabling feature, but agree some sort of other notification would be nice

Guys,

This is now partially done for 1.0.2 (we've disabled it)

We're building a more robust notification scheme in the background at the moment, so maybe the real fix for this will come after that.

Cheers,

Hi Guys,

I will resolve this issue as builds no longer disable themselves (post 1.0.2) and this should no longer be an issue.

Cheers,
Ajay
