Builder got stuck on "Updating crates.io index"

[Centril]

In #64246 (comment), the test-various builder got stuck (https://dev.azure.com/rust-lang/rust/_build/results?buildId=7573):

i have the same issue

[pipehappy1]

I have the same issue on some network. Is this related to some network problem?

[pietroalbini]

The crates.io index is downloaded from GitHub, so I would contact GitHub support to ask about it.

I have the same issue, any resolve for that?

[mk30]

based on rust-lang/cargo#7662 (comment), i cleared the contents of ~/.cargo/registry/*. the crates.io index updated successfully after that.

Triage: I presume this aims to track our CI issues and it doesn't happen on recent our CI builds. The cargo issue itself should go to the cargo repo (like rust-lang/cargo#7662). Therefore I'm going to close.

Same problem here when I added num = "0.4" in the dependencies.
It takes a lot of time, or freezes, on "Updating crates.io index".

Rust 0.4.171.4656-221
toolchain 1.61.0
IntelliJ IDEA 2022.1.1 (Ultimate Edition)
Build #IU-221.5591.52, built on May 10, 2022

@blueglyph Note that this issue is about our CI builder.

I had this issue too, I simply changed directory from the terminal into the registry file@mk30 specified and CLion resumed the build.

[Rtoax]

+ cd ceaos-coreos-pinger-0.0.4
+ /usr/bin/env CARGO_HOME=.cargo /usr/bin/cargo build --release -j32
    Updating crates.io index

Could i just skip the cargo build procudure?

[felipelalli]

Same issue here. Maybe proxy issue?

EDIT: it worked after tip of #64248 (comment)

Same here with 3GB and ~400000 files in the .cargo/registry on windows (using a SSD).

make sure to run your IDE as admin or sudo. it fixed for me. also clean the registry cache as per this comment

The solution by @mk30 worked for me. It was hanging at a certain percentage, but after I did what @mk30 suggested above, it instantly started working. Could there be some kind of corruption issue with the index?

I am experiencing the same issue when building a very simple project (its only dependency is Rocket) inside a docker (it is a fresh environment, the cargo registry is empty)

[mohit310]

having same issue on linux

[nuclyk]

the same issue on Mac

[deltakid0]

Same issue, Debian Stretch 32-bit, I'm trying to add num-bigint crate manually but still the same problem, no solution so far?
