Does anyone have any idea what the source of the intermittent Travis failures for Hackage is? The HighLevelTest program sometimes fails to connect to the server -- you can see an example at the bottom of https://travis-ci.org/haskell/hackage-server/builds/18423099 with the (almost) equivalent code passing at https://travis-ci.org/haskell/hackage-server/builds/18970590 -- but there's no indication that the server had problems starting (for instance, because the test port isn't available, or something like that). Looking through the Travis history, this has been happening since at least 31 Oct 2013 (https://travis-ci.org/haskell/hackage-server/builds/13335852). Has anyone seen this happen on any system other than the Travis build machines? -- Ian Ross Tel: +43(0)6804451378 ian@skybluetrades.net www.skybluetrades.net

Cabal builds on Travis sometimes error out because of network connectivity problems. Example: https://travis-ci.org/haskell/cabal/jobs/18955110

There was a blog post by Travis about the mysterious connectivity issues. They have introduced the retry command because of it. You might want to use it. -- Mateusz K.

This blog post? http://blog.travis-ci.com/2013-05-20-network-timeouts-build-retries/ (introduces a "travis_retry" shell function) -Isaac

Yes, that's the post I was referring to. -- Mateusz K.

Thanks, that's useful to know about!
