Synchronous Processing does not complete for large files

[namor]

As per documentation, to do synchronous processing

# loop until processing is finished
until response.finished?
  sleep 1; response.reload! # you'll want to implement a timeout in your production app
end

I use this code but it locks up the ruby thread indefinitely (even though Assembly has completed) only when i upload large files ~ 3GB
< 1 gb files works fine which makes this a very odd problem

Is there an internal timeout which is not caught?

Hey!

Does this happen for every upload that is 3GB big or just a particular one? It's interesting to see, as we just query the assembly status all the time so the only time this code can lock up is when the assembly never returns the status finished. Can you check what the assembly status is? response['ok'] is where it should be in. Maybe log that out in every nth loop.

The implementation of finished? is actually pretty simple, so I suspect that we don't get the right status back as response.

Maybe @tim-kos or @kvz also can look into the specific assembly on the backend side of things.

Hi there, if it's one particular assembly causing issues, feel free to send its id to support@transloadit.com so it will be a private ticket.
