I have a pretty simple build process for a Ruby on Rails project that’s running rspec (bundle exec rspec --require spec_helper --format RspecJunitFormatter --out /tmp/circle-tests/rspec/rspec.xml --format progress $(circleci tests glob “spec/**/*_spec.rb” | circleci tests split --split-by=timings) …

Steps have an individual timeout, see this post: [image] CircleCI builds and runs some tests successfully but then freezes Build Environment Hey @samfuller01 , There is a decent chance that you will require more than 4Gb of RAM and therefore need to enable the resource_cl…

I increased the time on the command and our builds are running to completion now…but I’m not real clear why I needed to make that change. The rspec command I’m running is generating output to stdout the whole time it’s running. It prints a period to the console for every single test case completed…

You’re welcome :grinning: I agree with your analysis. Raise a bug report by sending a message to support@circleci.com, and an engineer will look at it.

I have the same issue. Changing --format progress to --format documentation worked for me. It looks the behavior of stdout buffer has changed and jobs timeout when there’s no line-breaks for 10 minutes?

I’ve started seeing the same issue but with a minitest test suite. I’ve seen this happen very intermittently in the past but as of today it has happened on 7 out of 14 builds.

@wktk @amleaver Thanks for confirming the issue. I sent a bug report to Circle support referencing this post.

Sorry, it wasn’t my intention to snub you. @halfer I appreciate the assistance.

Thanks @jhulford - appreciated! :+1:

Thanks for raising this - the issue was caused by an edge case we had overlooked when rolling out our new secrets masking implementation . We’ve toggled it off for now and will get this sorted before continuing our rollout.
