DetailsThe automatic version check in Flyspray does not have any failure handling at the moment. While the flyspray site was down last week, requests would just time out rather than fail with any specific exception. This meant that my installation of Flyspray also went down, as it was trying to do the version check on the first use in the session. It got terminated by php’s 30 second execution time default limit. It would be a lot better if there was a short timeout set on the version check (e.g. 5 seconds), so that if the flyspray website is down for some reason, installations of Flyspray will continue to work properly. Ideally this would just get done once per session (or even once per day), so that the delay only happens once. |
