Action timing out when new node versions are released

[ebwinters]

I am using this in a job:

name: Use Node.js ${{ matrix.node-version }}
uses: actions/setup-node@v1
  with:
    node-version: ${{ matrix.node-version }}

and node-version 13.x, but my workflow takes 10+minutes just to complete use node. Any idea why or anyone else having this problem?

Same here, It looks like I'm sometimes timing out and getting

Premature close
Waiting 16 seconds before trying again
Premature close
Waiting 18 seconds before trying again
##[error]Premature close

and sometimes it's working fine but still taking 7-11 minutes per install for some reason (12.x)

good to know other people are having issues - seriously stalling my pipeline 😞

Same here, We are using node 12.x.

Same. You can see the workflow on an open source project experiencing this here. From my experience this just started happening recently.

As you can see the setup node step took 7 minutes and 34 seconds 😱

One of the major issues of this action is the fact that there is next to no logs that get printed. I brought this up in #90 for the version it's using. But this is another situation where we need logs!!

This is a serious issue if one's pipeline doesn't have default timeout setup. This will cause a lot of people's CI to hang for up to 6 hours. This is not wasting MS' resource, but is wasting resource for other paying customers. Please fix this!

no code has been changed to match the timeline. it seems like some critical dependency has problem serving resources properly? but the issue can be fixed by re-running the build meaning potentially some bad hosts in the fleet or throttling?

this did cost us a lot of money already. please have a look!

We have the same problem. Today every pipeline is failing because of this. We are using Node.js 12.x.

Experiencing similar issues with Node 12.x version. The step is either timing out or takes up too much time. (~25 mins)
