Google App Engine: Build Timed Out during Deployment

Question

Edit: Google Cloud at its finest. Made absolutely no changes but deployed fine this morning.

Error after ~10m of deployment (10+ deploy attempts).

I've changed the app to add a simply function with less than 10 lines of code. It has no affect on libraries and uses native python only and hence I'm not sure how it can affect the deployment.

I've tested the app and it runs fine locally.

Here is the error that I get:

ERROR: (gcloud.app.deploy) Cloud build failed. Check logs at https://console.cloud.google.com/xxxxxxxx/ Failure status: UNKNOWN: Error Response: [4] DEADLINE_EXCEEDED

Previously to that, logs don't show any errors, in fact everything is going as expected.

Newest entries first:

Have you tried the first deployment through the cloud shell? Probably some environment variable was first set and then deleted once the cloud shell was closed. — Rubén C., May 15 '18 at 08:01
@RubénC. I've only used my Mac using gcloud. It still happens when I deploy, but generally updates the service on the 3rd-4th attempt so I just go along with it although not ideal. — GRS, May 15 '18 at 09:25

According to this you can change the build timeout setting with:

gcloud config set app/cloud_build_timeout 1000

Setting it to 1000 seconds in this example.

cloud_build_timeout is 10 minutes. I tries to set it to more than 10 min but it doesn't work. – AsmaG Mar 15 '19 at 15:31

`gcloud config set app/cloud_build_timeout 1200` seemed to work for me – Alex Apr 08 '20 at 20:11

I set this config and it still keeps failing after 10 minutes. – 7029279 Aug 11 '20 at 08:46

I have this problem too when deploying my custom image to AppEngine flex. My image requires a few ML models and takes around 2 hours to build and GAE does not seem to like it.

To build your container images outside of Google Cloud Platform, you must first upload your images to a container image repository before you can deploy your images to App Engine with the gcloud app deploy command.

In short, push your image to Google Container Registry or container image repository of your choice, then deploy with this command

gcloud app deploy --image-url gcr.io/YOUR_PROJECT_ID/YOUR_CONTAINER_IMAGE

For my case, I've found out the problem was that I have the same version for all gcloud app deploy command. When there's traffic, the deployment will timeout.
