Octopus 'Create Release' keeps hanging

Hello.

We are using octopus deploy to deploy a big application which has almost 40 nuget packages. When I go to create a release, Octopus constantly hangs there. I don’t know why, I can guess it’s because Octopus has to search through every nuget package in the feed? Is there a way I can make octopus ‘create release’ faster? Or is this entirely a nuget server issue?

Hi Manny,

Thanks for getting in touch!

Are you using the internal NuGet feed in Octopus or are you using an external feed?

If you open the Developer Tools of your web browser when you go to create a release, you will be able to see what call(s) it is that is taking a very long time to complete and causes Octopus to hang.

Thank you and kind regards,
Henrik

We are using an external nuget feed we set up on another server. When i tried the developer tool in chrome, i see it stuck on loading packages. I see it has an array of 47, but it takes a very very long time to stop trying to load. It just sits there with the circle waiting icon. Any ideas?

Hi Manny,

Is your external NuGet feed running NuGet.Server? This has been shown to have performance issues when it hosts many packages.

Thank you and kind regards,
Henrik

Thanks!! That worked so well. Our ‘create release’ takes less than a minute now versus timing out or taking A LONG time.
