Vercel deploy fails, reason: socket hang up

[vinisaveg]

Vercel CLI failed while trying to deploy the app.

Even though the app continue to build and deploy on vercel, with a sequence of staging deploys queue.

Command:

npx vercel

Output:

Vercel CLI 23.1.2
Error! request to https://api.vercel.com/v13/now/deployments?teamId=team_***  failed, reason: socket hang up

Result:

Expected:
no errors, 1 deploy.

Platform: Linux
Vercel CLI version: 23.1.2

Hi @vinisaveg, is this still an issue for you? Likely it was related to your local internet connection. For future reference, you can check on the status of Vercel here: https://www.vercel-status.com/

hi @vinisaveg @TooTallNate, How did u solve that error? I'm getting the same error
For some reason the command vercel -t my-token fails with a failed, reason: socket hang up. This error happens in our GitLab ci (and also in local). The other thing is that I don't get why 6-7 deployments are created when we run vercel -t my-token only one time.

Hi @GiancarlosIO @TooTallNate. I did not do anything, It just simply started working as it should after a few days... 😅

[Oriole-Alex]

I'm having the exact same issue, it hangs for a while and then errors out with failed, reason: socket hang up. Anyone found a fix?

[gitnasr]

Issue still presist

I'm also experiencing this issue with Vercel CLI 25.1.0.

Experiencing this issue too! Vercel CLI 18.0.0

[davidkolesom]

Anyone? 😢

[jpall12]

I have opened a ticket with Vercel and referenced this issue. Hopefully they can resolve this issue soon.

[mrkstwrt]

I've encountered this issue too with 28.2.2

[zioForas]

i'm having this issue too, my partber @ziadidi has no issues on the same network

[willkuerlich]

Same here..
Also Vercel is not reflecting current commit to my github repo for at least 30minutes now

We are also experiencing it on our self-hosted Gitlab runners since yesterday.

Vercel CLI 28.4.10

It looks like the upload doesn't get acknowledged from the server. It broke on its own without any changes from our side. Moving it to a vercel integrated repository is not an option as it is behind a firewall. It also doesn't seem to be a blocked/limited IP as the deployment job was ran on multiple runners with different IPs.

@ivstiv I was getting the same error. To fix that I switched to vercel deploy --prebuilt --archive=tgz
Now, we run the following commands in our gitlab runner to deploy our nextjs apps:

• vercel pull
• vercel build
• vercel deploy --prebuilt --archive=tgz

Here is part of the response I got from Vercel regarding the aforementioned error:

Socket hang up can happen when too many files are being pushed to Vercel, hitting the API limit threshold or the internet connection itself is poor and the connection is dropped. Typically when we've seen it, it's been caused by the nodes_modules and the .git folders being uploaded to Vercel, which aren't required for the build.

I was not able to identify any such large folders or internet issues, so I tried what @GiancarlosIO proposed by adding --archive=tgz and it worked! Here is what our uploading script looks like:

vercel pull --yes --environment=production --token=$VERCEL_TOKEN
vercel build --prod --token=$VERCEL_TOKEN
vercel deploy --prebuilt --prod --archive=tgz --token=$VERCEL_TOKEN

Experiencing the same issue. Deploy step hangs in Github Actions even though on Vercel UI it triggers multiple deploys which all complete successfully. Adding

vercel deploy --prebuilt --archive=tgz

also worked for me.

Why the option --archive=tgz option is not on Vercel's CLI help? 🤔

I turned on the VPN and everything worked
