Stuck on "Fetching closed dates for issues"

[Bluefitdev]

Hey guys

I have 2 repos, front end and backend. Front end works fine when i generate changelog for the first time, however backend stucks here:

Then it just stuck for more than a day now, i tried to cancel, rerun, run from docker, nothing works. Any idea why?

When I cancel with ctrl + c it just says interrupt, 'block in make_fiber`. not sure what's that...

Hi,

(Go for hello everyone, we want to include everyone!)

Thanks for the report!

Can you add a backtrace of where you Ctrl-c? That may or may not make this easier to pinpoint.

[Bluefitdev]

Hey guys, gee you're fast in replying! Thanks for the amazing project

Here's CONSOLE_LEVEL=debug doesn't give me extra information, I reckon because it has no error at all? its just stuck at the "Fetching closed date for issues".

Also if its worth noting, this project is in laravel (php) if that affects anything which i think it shouldn't? The other one that works is in react

Here's the full log after Ctrl - c

[olleolleolle]

• Upcoming Ruby 3.0.2 has a bug fix, that may be relevant to this issue.
• Can you try running with Ruby 2.7?

[aelam]

I tried ruby 3.1.2 with github-changelog-generator 1.16.4, still stucks

[Bluefitdev]

Hey, i tried running with ruby 2.7

Same result after 20 minutes that I have to cancel it

Thanks for making an attempt!

CONSOLE_LEVEL=debug should give you a ton of extra output from the event loop and async-http. Are you getting that?

[Bluefitdev]

No i didn't get anything at all,

[olleolleolle]

What if you leave off the initial && just after the "debug" word?

[ioquatix]

Oh, yeah, totally missed that. It should be CONSOLE_LEVEL=debug ./command without the &&.

[Bluefitdev]

Omg guys i missed it!!

Here's the log. although not sure if it meant something. It stucked at the same stream after 2.6s

This log file looks okay.

[HevaWu]

I got same issue now. But in my case, it also shows a warning about Can't fetch commit e01afc986580916f72ef76e9bdaf31f476fb0423. It is probably referenced from another repo..

2 weeks ago, the same script works well. But for now, it start stuck
Maybe bellow commit have any influences on it? (Not sure... 🤔

================================
Update:

I just find that 1.15.2 works well. I will switch my project to specify that for a while 😆

[denchen]

So I'm running to this exact issue, and I tried to downgrade back to the original version I was using (v1.15.2), but now I'm getting a bunch of errors:

I tried to uninstall and reinstall, but still the same thing:

sudo gem uninstall github_changelog_generator
sudo gem install github_changelog_generator -v 1.15.2

How do I cleanly uninstall everything and try again?

Other notes:
OS: MacOS 11.13.1
Ruby: ruby 2.6.3p62 (2019-04-16 revision 67580) [universal.x86_64-darwin20]
Gem: 3.0.3

EDIT: I just tried to uninstall every single Ruby gem that this library installed, and then reinstall v1.15.2, but I still get the same error. I'm extremely confused how that can be. v1.15.2 was working just fine before I tried to upgrade to v1.16.2.

[Bluefitdev]

Weirdly it only happens in some repo. In my case only 1 repo, the rest are fine..

[olleolleolle]

Can you share their specific github_changelog_generator invocations, so I can try and reproduce?

[Bluefitdev]

Hey I just manage to try it again, after I downgraded to 1.15.2, it works!! Yayy

[olleolleolle]

So, the new feature in 1.16 and later is a much-more-efficient asynchronous way of talking to GitHub - and we're interested in having that tested out, with combinations that consistently get stuck, so that we can analyze what is going wrong.

[ioquatix]

It looks like you might be using a mixed up install. I see in the log the executable is coming from your system. Make sure you install it using bundler and then use bundle exec.

[olleolleolle]

@ioquatix Most users of this tool are not primarily Ruby users

Here's a very small guide to what the above meant.

Using Bundler & bundle exec

In order to app-isolate the RubyGems packages used when running a Ruby tool, Ruby users often rely on Bundler, a "package manager manager". It installs and selects what versions of packages should be used.

These steps would get you to where @ioquatix noted you could try:

1. Find a file Gemfile in the directory where you want to run the command, and if you can't find one, create one using: bundle init
2. In Gemfile, add a line gem "github_changelog_generator"
3. Run bundle install. This will fetch and install gems, then create a Gemfile.lock with the selected versions.
4. Now, you're ready to use those exact gem versions: bundle exec github_changelog_generator (with the options you have selected, etc, etc, in the regular way of using GitHub Changelog Generator).

Hope this helps!

[denchen]

Thanks @olleolleolle . I'm new to Ruby & bundle, so your instructions helped, but I had to change Step 2 to:

gem 'github_changelog_generator', '~> 1.15.1'

After that, everything worked as expected!

[ioquatix]

[olleolleolle]

Hello, and welcome to a threaded discussion about this!

[Bluefitdev]

Not sure why everyone, but after downgrading to v1.15.2, it works for me perfectly. Not sure why the latest one is not working

[ioquatix]

Can you add me to the repo which has the problem. Otherwise I cannot test.

[Bluefitdev]

It's a company private repo unfortunately.. Sorry

[ioquatix]

Okay, if you prefer, you can pay me as a consultant and I will fix your problem :) I am happy to sign a contract/NDA.

[kikito]

Hello there,

I am testing github-changelog-generator on a new repo and I am getting the same error discussed here: it gets stuck when fetching closed dates for issues.

My repo is https://github.com/kong/kong/ , it is open source. In my case I am using the docker image to attempt to generate the changelog.

I have tried several combinations of options, all get stuck. Here a simple one:

git clone https://github.com/kong/kong/
cd kong/kong
docker run -it --rm \
    -e CONSOLE_LEVEL=debug \
    -v "$(pwd)":/usr/local/src/your-app \
    githubchangeloggenerator/github-changelog-generator \
    --user kong \
    --project kong \
    --token "$GITHUB_TOKEN"

It finds the tags,

Fetching tags dates: 131/131
Sorting tags...

It receives the issues around the 2-minute mark:

Received issues: 6974

Then the logs stop at around the 4-min mark. Last lines:

@kikito 👋 How does v1.16.4 work for your use-case?

[kikito]

Hi, nice turnaround! I have tried again (with Docker) and got the same result (stuck after Received Issues).

It seems that dependabot has not yet pushed the v1.16.4 bump to https://github.com/github-changelog-generator/docker-github-changelog-generator/pulls .

For now I am stuck to trying this with Docker, so I will have to wait until v1.16.4 lands there.

[olleolleolle]

Right, there were a few levers to pull, there, and soon, the version ought to be more ready to go out.

[kikito]

Hello, since I saw that 1.16.4 was already bumped in the docker image, I tried manually creating the image myself:

git clone https://github.com/github-changelog-generator/docker-github-changelog-generator.git
cd docker-github-changelog-generator
docker build -t localchangelog .

And then used it to try to generate the changelog:

cd kong/kong
docker run -it --rm \                                                                                                                                              
    -e CONSOLE_LEVEL=debug \
    -v "$(pwd)":/usr/local/src/your-app \
    localchangelog \
    --user kong \
    --project kong \
    --token "$GITHUB_TOKEN"

Unfortunately that also didn't work. It found and fetched the tags

Found 131 tags
...
Fetching tags dates: 131/131

Unfortunately it failed, again at the 4 minute mark. The failure might be more useful than the previous one since it includes a traceback:

I'm under the impression that the generator is just trying to pull too much stuff from Github, and at some point I get rate-limited, and the changelog dies (it would be nice it if died with a more specific error).

I am ok with doing more tests like this. But is there a way to limit the amount of info the generator pulls from github? Currently I am not interested in generating the whole changelog from scratch, just the "Unreleased" changes. Can this be used somehow to limit the amount of issues pulled from github? They should be a substantial subset of the whole list.

Update: tried again, same command as before:

cd kong/kong
docker run -it --rm \                                                                                                                                              
    -e CONSOLE_LEVEL=debug \
    -v "$(pwd)":/usr/local/src/your-app \
    localchangelog \
    --user kong \
    --project kong \
    --token "$GITHUB_TOKEN"

That was ~40 minutes ago. The generator is still "working on it" .. kindof. Here's the latest logs:

I can confirm this issue persists in the latest 1.16.4. - no matter what type of flags I add to the gem command, it gets stuck on fetching closed dates for issues: 689/689. It looks like you guys always fetch the full history list, at which point i assume the app applies the filters and sorting to the list, which is probably why the process is hanging on repos with very large git histories. Good luck.

[cormacrelf]

A good workaround is to use --since-tag with a recent tag. You can use git describe --abbrev=0 --tags to find the most recent one. This will of course generate a CHANGELOG without all the historical entries, but you can join the new and old together afterward.

I have a complicated bash + awk script that concatenates two CHANGELOG.md files, such that you can fetch only the most recent stuff and whack it on the end. The reason I wanted this originally is so that I can avoid the "summary issue" system, and simply edit the changelog in-place to add commentary. A nice side effect is that I am not affected by the hang.

[eike-hass]

We discovered the same problem. There is a very easy reproduction. Basically exclude all tags present in the repository. Something like
docker run -it --rm -e CONSOLE_LEVEL=debug -v "$(pwd)":/usr/local/src/your-app githubchangeloggenerator/github-changelog-generator --user USER --project PROJECT --token TOKEN --exclude-tags v0.1.0,v0.2.0,v0.3.0,v.0.4.0,v0.5.0[...].
For us the use case is that we have multiple changelogs in the same repository and only certain tags relate to a specific changelog. The situation where all tags are excluded happens when a new changelog is create for the first time.

Will try to work around that with placing some dummy tags and report back soonish :)

[eike-hass]

things are getting weirder. The only way I can generate a changelog with excluding almost all tags is allowing at least one tag. It has to be somewhere in the middle of the history though. If I allow a very early or a very recent tag the process also hangs at Fetching closed dates for issues.

[eike-hass]

also memory usage is slowly creeping up if the process is kept running
