Running zef to install module dies with "Fetching [FAIL]" error

[zarulzakuan]

The problem

I was trying to run the following command

zef install App::MoarVM::HeapAnalyzer

and it fails with the following message

===> Searching for: App::MoarVM::HeapAnalyzer
===> Fetching [FAIL]: App::MoarVM::HeapAnalyzer from git://github.com/jnthn/p6-app-moarvm-heapanalyzer.git
Aborting due to fetch failure: App::MoarVM::HeapAnalyzer (use --force-fetch to override)

I then run it again with --force-fetch and it also fails with the following message

Failed to fetch, but continuing with --force-fetch
No such method 'parent' for invocant of type 'Any'. Did you mean 'print'?

I would say it's a temporary failure. I just managed to install it here. I have also reported it in the specific repo for that tool. Please close if it works now or if it's better to continue discussion in that issue.

Nope. still happening to me. I should have mentioned that, the CPU shoots up to 100% and zef dies.

Half gigabyte of RAM is too little RAM... In that case I would say the problem is in zef itself, since the module does not even start to install...

[JJ]

Do you have swap configured? What's the size for that? For 0.5 Gb, it should be 1 El mar., 4 dic. 2018 a las 11:04, zarulzakuan (<notifications@github.com>) escribió:

@JJ I have swap configured 2gb with swapiness 30. It's not eating the ram by the way. It's the CPU. The CPU shoots up to 100% and zef fails

[zarulzakuan]

Is there a way that I can install the module if I downloaded the package manually to my server?

[JJ]

@zarulzakuan you can download via git, and then zef test and zef install...

[zarulzakuan]

zef install ./META6.json to be exact. Thanks JJ!

If it's (kinda) solved, feel free to close this now...

[zarulzakuan]

it's a workaround. fetch still problematic

Closing this, since it probably does not belong to this repo.
