We've been getting timeouts at the 35 minute mark. A single step was doing all the work, running
./gradlew build
and then./gradlew publish
. The build task runs all checks, including Android Lint, so it ran for too long. And none of it was using a build cache.With the way
gradle/gradle-build-action
works, nothing is actually uploaded until after the step has completed successfully. So if a step times out, all the incremental progress it made will be lost. For this reason, it's best to break very long-running steps down into smaller ones. That way, even if the very first run times out, subsequent runs will save time by using its cache.
