I had a pipeline that basically looked like it froze then 15 minutes later I get an error

Something with go-getter I'm guessing

asked copilot

The 15 minutes comes from 3 sequential git commands in pkg/downloader/get_git.go (git ls-remote, git clone, git submodule update), each of which can hang for the full 5-minute context timeout set in internal/exec/terraform_execute_helpers.go when the remote is unreachable. There's no per-command timeout, so if all 3 hang you get exactly 15 minutes before atmos gives up. The fix would be adding git-level timeout flags (e.g. http.lowSpeedTime for HTTPS or ConnectTimeout for SSH) to each command so git itself enforces a shorter deadline rather than relying solely on the Go context.

might be something worth throwing in some retries or throwing more logging anyway

Did it eventually succeed?

It should have been fatal if it didn't

My guess is the gitlab instance was unreachable

It eventually succeeded due to workflow retries, but I think that specific atmos command failed

It was just interesting it was exactly 15 minutes and hung silently

Do you have this configured?

Do you think it'll be configurable to help it fail faster?

Alternatively we might need to expose a timeout

You know the drill - happy to harden atmos for this failure condition

if you can

--use-version

to help validate this alleviates problems we can merge
