Syncthing local=true didn't respond after 1m0s

Support
1

Hi, I’m testing okteto both under VSCode and with the CLI, and I get the error:
“Syncthing local=true didn’t respond after 1m0s” on a “okteto up” command.

I tested with the 2 samples “vscode-remote-go” and “go-getting-started” on a Microk8s single node.

Here is the log of “okteto up” command:

And during the intialization message “Activating your dev…”, I can connect sucessfuly in SSH into the containter:

[cloud@inexpk8s01b vscode-remote-go]$ ssh localhost -p 22100 -i /home/cloud/.okteto/id_rsa_okteto
Welcome to your development container. Happy coding!

Any clues ? Thanks

Are you synchronizing a folder with a lot of files? (or big ones?). If this happens again, could you open a separate terminal, run “okteto doctor”, and share the generated logs? Those logs include more information on what’s blocking the sync and will help us troubleshoot the issue.

Hi Ramiro, I’m just running the GO sample from Okteto to evaluate it before going to a real project. So I can’t tell if the volume of files to sync is huge or not. I guess it should work :slight_smile:

I don’t know if there’s a way to send you in a better way the doctor file, so I put it under my Github’s repo:
HERE

Thanks for you help.

Ramiro, I invited you to my repository with the doctor file in case where you’d had access issue.
Will you have the time to look at my problem ?

Thank you for your help.

We looked at the logs but haven’t been able to figure out the issue. Is there anything special about your network connection or file system? The error in the logs means that syncthing was able to finish the initial sync of your filesystem within the allotted time. Is this happening with other repositories on different folders?
