[LecrisUT]

Details

• Read the Docs project URL: https://readthedocs.org/projects/mystmd-temp/
• Build URL: https://readthedocs.org/projects/mystmd-temp/builds/23750011/

This is a custom build with:

version: 2
build:
  os: ubuntu-22.04
  tools:
    nodejs: "20"
  commands:
    - npm install
    - npm run build
    - npm run dev
    - cd docs
    - myst build --html
    - cp -r _build/html $READTHEDOCS_OUTPUT/html

Specifically on a PR testing the builder: LecrisUT/mystmd#1

Expected Result

Update the build log with the current status

Actual Result

The log is stuck at npm run build (or just after finishing that)

Canceled and reran the build:

• Got an internet connection issue one time: https://beta.readthedocs.org/projects/mystmd-temp/builds/23750685/
• Running it again: https://beta.readthedocs.org/projects/mystmd-temp/builds/23750691/
• It seems to report a step, only after it finished completely?

Edit:

It seems to report a step, only after it finished completely?

This seems to be the issue, but because the command I was running was watching, it never ended. The main issue here is that the stdout is not displayed while the command is still running.

Hi. Thanks for opening this issue. Yeah, the dashboard doesn't show the command that's currently being executed. That's the issue you are hitting.

This issue is a duplicate of #4288, and I'm going to close it due to that. Please, subscribe there to get updates over time.
