Hi Evan,

Thank you for contacting us with this and for your bug report.

In general, the build process consists of 2 steps in the IDE: TWS sends your changes to your organization and then retrieves back an information about these updates from an org (hash sum of files, date&time of the last change, etc.); if your changes are applied to the files on the organization and the build process is still in progress in TWS, the reason for the long building time can be that the organization doesn't respond anything.

Exactly the same information we have found in your TWS log files: the IDE hasn't received a response from the organization, that changes were applied and other additional data. This why the build process wasn't finished till the IDE got the result about everything went succeeded.

Regards,

Kate

Hi,

This problem affects me too. I'm attaching a screenshot, with a build process taking almost 10 minutes.

Here is the output of the build:

------ Build started: Project: ######, Configuration: Debug x86 ------
Search for changed files started [11:12:42.487].
File pages\Premier.page is changed.

Start building files on the server [11:12:49.788].

Checking if the changed files have pending server changes [11:12:49.791].
Pending conflicts were not found.
Build has finished successfully.

Time Elapsed 00:09:43.307
========== Build: 1 succeeded or up-to-date, 0 failed, 0 skipped ==========

I've checked the VF page I'm building, and I saw this:

Hi Laszlo,

Thank you for your post.

Since your changes were applied to the VF page on Salesforce, this means that the IDE had sent them to your organization immediately.

After this, the build process took so long time because the organization didn't respond to the requests about the status of changes - if they were applied, and also, didn't provide the IDE with the additional information about the file (such as hash sum of files, date&time of the last change, etc. that the file has on the org after updates).

This can be related to other activities in your organization or some delay in responses from Salesforce. When the IDE gets any response from an org, the build process finishes with an appropriate status that it gets from Salesforce.

Hello I am also getting long build times more recently then I am used to.  Based on the thread I am understanding that the wait times is on the wait times of the Salesforce Org and not the IDE?  So is there any way to prevent long build times? 

Hi Derrick,

Thank you for your post.

Since currently, we use the approach when the build process could be finished only after a response from an organization with an update about applied changes, we cannot influent on the time of retrieving this updates from Salesforce.

However, as you already found in the separate topic - we have worked on this and the next version of the IDE will include the necessary changes to avoid this issue. The changes are based on that we won't wait for this response from an org and you will be able to continue your working process right after your changes appear in your organization.

This upcoming TWS version will be available for you the end of the next week.

Thank you,

Kate

slow deploy time with a reply of "Deploy finished with errors" but no errors are shown in the TWS IDE "error List" window. What does this mean?

Hi Justin,

Thank you for contacting us on this.

We have changed the build/deploy process from the time when the current topic was started, and our changes handled most of the issue related to a long time of deploying.

So thank you for bringing this case to our attention.

I kindly ask you to send us a bug report with the attached log files directly from the IDE - please find this function in the menu Help -> Report a Bug, please specify your email and enable the 'Attach Log File' checkbox.

Also, can you please check if your changes were applied ton your organization after this deployment process?
Also, if there are any files in the Pending Changes panel after this? You can open the Pending Changes panel from the menu View.

Thank you,

Kate

  Hi Kate,

I have sent the bug report with a link to this topic url. I am working in a sandbox and long save times are caused by slow org response. I dont believe TWS is the issue there. What I am wondering about is what is being display in TWS when there is long response times from the server and how I am supposed to diagnose TWS problems when the information displayed in the UI is cryptic. Since there is pending changes in TWS, what does that mean? I am not sure if the changes were deployed to the org since I tried to deploy one time before this last deploy that failed.

Hi Justin,

Thank you for your bug report - we got it, and for your response.

The pending changes in the IDE mean that there are changed files in your TWS project which were not deployed to your organization yet. So if your changed files are present in this list, everything is correct.

Regarding the applied changes to your organization, this way we can clarify if the deployment process hangs on the IDE's side or it is not yet applied on your organization.

Also, in the bug report, you wrote that there is a background process \"Chatter Unified Digest\".
After a short investigation, we found that this process, in fact, can influent on an API response.
At the same time, this process is unknown for the IDE and this is why the IDE doesn't show any information what can take this time during the deployment.

We will investigate additionally what we can do to handle such case.

Meantime, when a deployment process takes a long time without no update, you can open your org in a browser and check the files which are waiting for changes. For easy navigation to your org, you can use the 'Open in browser' command from the context menu of your project in the Solution Explorer.

Hope this could help.

Thank you,

Kate

After the lates update I'm experiencing build times taking 10+ minutes. I only change like 1 or 2 lines in my web component, then when I build it, I recieve the "Deploying the changed files is finished , but we still need to query the remote properties of the changed items to persist them, please be patient this could take some time..." message on my output tab, but the build is still goes on for around 10 minutes, blocking me, from building again.

Hello Laszlo.

Thank you for your post.

I kindly ask you to reproduce this one more time and please send us a bug report with attached log files directly from the IDE - you can find this functionality in the menu Help -> Report a Bug, please specify your email and enable the 'Attach Log File' checkbox.
This way we would receive your TWS log files which could help us to find a reason for the error.

Best Regards,

Ihor

 In the mean time you can try building a new project using the same org. Usually that helps to clear any other problems.

Hello Justin.

Thank you for your advice.

Have a nice day!
