VuePress site build fails with a cryptic error

Support

1

Hi there, Netlify community!

I am currently encountering a build error that I can’t seem to pin down a reason for. The site is built on VuePress, located here https://kuma.netlify.app, and I’m using a custom build command located in a netlify.toml file:

node ./bin/setup-redirects && node ./bin/curl-endpoints && node --max_old_space_size=8192 ./node_modules/vuepress/cli.js build docs

I’ve successfully built the site locally both directly with the command above, and with netlify build, but when deployed live, the build fails with the following log:

The site is a VuePress docs and product site that has become quite large. Because of this I’ve resorted to the aforementioned custom build command where I boost Node’s RAM with --max_old_space_size=8192. This has worked without any issues. The site even deployed and built successfully 3 days ago with no changes other than a single line in a markdown file.

To give some more insight, there was another recent build that failed that contained this error:

3:53:25 PM: Execution timed out after 16m53.207225642s
3:53:25 PM: Error running command: Command did not finish within the time limit
3:53:25 PM: Failing build: Failed to build site
3:53:25 PM: Failed during stage 'building site': Command did not finish within the time limit
3:53:25 PM: Finished processing build request in 17m24.983571004s

This lead me to think maybe the build time limit needed to be increased to 30 minutes instead of 15 (I saw this mentioned in another thread), but this most recent log doesn’t mention anything about a time limit and instead gives some vague (to me) errors that I haven’t been able to find clear explanations for.

To recap, the site builds flawlessly locally (in ~8 minutes with netlify build), but fails when trying to deploy live.

Thanks in advance!

Well, after doing another build with some slight cleanup and testing the addition of CI='' to the build command, I am seeing this 15 minute build time limit error again:

Error running command: Command did not finish within the time limit

So I’m guessing simply increasing that to 30 minutes will do the trick.

As an aside, my local build takes 6-8 minutes on average, which is more than half of what it takes in production. I’m wondering why one is so much longer than the other.

I can’t explain why, but our site seems to be deploying without a hitch now. Perhaps a fluke in Netlify’s deploybot or something? Another dev launched a change to production and the site built flawlessly (in ~16 minutes). Strange.

Hey there!

Our build time limit is set to 15 minutes. Your build duration is very close to this duration so, depending on resources and what’s being built, sometimes it’ll pass, sometimes not.

As discussed in the ticket, I’ve bumped this to 30 minutes. Do let me know if this helps!

It’ll also take less time locally than prod because of the resources available :slight_smile:.

Thank you, @Pie! The build time increase will help but I think there is something else going on that I can’t seem to pin down.

When I try to build the site, all of my deployments fail. If 2 of my fellow devs deploy the site, it finishes without any errors. One of our devs was even able to deploy my own changes successfully. I’ve tried redeploying with the cache cleared but still run into an error.

Here is the truncated error for reference:

I can build the site locally without issue with both netlify-cli and my build script.

Is it possible there’s a permission issue at play here? Either on GitHub or Netlify. I’m not really sure what could be causing the error and I’m having a hard time tracking down exactly what Build script returned non-zero exit code: 2 means.

I finally resolved this issue (I hope)

If you encounter this yourself, there is a simple solution (at least for me).

  1. Log into Netlify
  2. Click on your user icon in the top right corner
  3. Under “Connected accounts”, click “Edit settings” and click the “X” next to your GitHub account to remove it
  4. Now reconnect your GitHub account and try to redeploy

I discovered this when I noticed that the summary for my failed deployments was not showing my GitHub username.

Example of a summary on a failed deployment:

Production: master@1ebe13f. Today at 11:14 AM

Example of a summary on a fresh successful deployment:

Production: master@e166943. By @bloqhead on GitHub. Today at 5:08 PM

Netlify was disassociating my deployments from my account and I think this is what caused them to fail halfway through. Reconnecting my GitHub account seemed to do the trick. Why this would happen is beyond me. There is absolutely nothing anywhere in the logs that alludes to this being a permission issue (that I can find anyway, and I did a bunch of searching).

TL;DR

Disconnect and reconnect your GitHub account from your Netlify account.

I stand corrected. Now the error continues to occur regardless. I am trying this solution but I am not optimistic. This issue has been plaguing me going on week 2 now. I can’t reproduce it at all, except by deploying to Netlify itself.

Edit: this did not fix it.

Things I’ve tried

  • cleaning up a handful of peer dependency warnings
  • increasing memory used by node from 8192 to 12048 (both of which are already ridiculous, but what I have learned is that VuePress is GROSSLY inefficient)
  • added CI='' to the front of my build script in netlify.toml (per these docs)

For anyone that arrives here with VuePress woes, let me try to ease your pain

TL;DR - Keep your VuePress site small!

If you’re starting with VuePress v2 (which uses Webpack 5), you will (hopefully) have a better time, since the newer version of Webpack is supposed to build faster and be more efficient.

VuePress 1.x is inefficient with file handling and if you have a VuePress website with any sort of versioning mechanism, try to keep the amount of versions on your site to a reasonable number. In an effort to make the site smaller and to make it easier to navigate, we’ve removed all 0.x doc versions and are striving to keep only release versions there. This approach has made our site successfully deploy again, as well as build faster and generally run faster

Here are some stats as a reference:

  • Before optimization: 15-20 minute build times, ~1,300 build files generated
  • After optimization: 5-6 minute build times, ~500-600 build files generated

We were even able to completely remove the Node max_old_space_size flag, which we initially had set to 4096 and then to 8192. The site builds successfully and is faster to work with for everyone on our team.

In my logs above, you’ll see a 137 error. This generally relates to memory allocation issues. If you run into that, try to reduce the size of your VuePress site and the amount of files it has to generate.

Another thing that would be really valuable, but VuePress seems to be lacking, are incremental builds. Having to rebuild the entire site each time for small changes is a huge waste of resources and can eat up build time minutes on your Netlify account.

@bloqhead ,

thank you so much for continuing to work on this and keeping us informed of your progress! we super appreciate it - and i am sure others will too!
