Hi, Thanks for the windows support! I’m hitting a wall with a chocolatey install in this build: https://travis-ci.org/projectriff/fats/jobs/440705540#L70 .

I just set up a minimum example: https://travis-ci.org/projectriff/fats/jobs/441544279 . Nothing happens for about 3 minutes and then it fails all of a sudden (apart from the worker information display). I reduced the .travis.yml file to the minimum version: sudo: required language: go go: - '1.11…

Restarted the job, exact same result: nothing for 3min8s (apart from the worker info) then reaches the choco install step and stops at 3min18s

Are you using any secure environment variables in your build? There is a known issue where this can block the streaming output. We are working to address this, but in the mean time can you try removing the secure env vars and see if this helps?

Sadly I cannot do that as these vars are required by the stable branches as well and would impact my teammate’s work.

Could you do this in a branch just for debugging?

I thought the security envvars were set via Travis UI and that they affected the whole repository. Is there another way of setting them?

Does choco need a -y to continue? https://chocolatey.org/docs/commands-reference#default-options-and-switches

Same thing with -y: https://travis-ci.org/projectriff/fats/builds/442249032 .

@fbiville ah yes, you are right, secure env vars from settings! I will see if I can test for this issue over the next couple of days. Otherwise, if you have time, you could create a dummy open source project for testing. Sorry for the delay, I’m at GitHub Universe this week.

I can confirm that this is a manifestation of the secrets issue: https://staging.travis-ci.com/BanzaiMan/fats/builds/233444 has no secrets and runs to completion. (If this URL does not work, please try going to https://staging.travis-ci.com/BanzaiMan/fats/requests and clicking on “Build #1”.)
