Business application studio: dev space remains in status 'Starting'

[geertvermuyten3]

Hello,

I created in the Business Application Studio a SAP Fiori dev space mid November 2020. I have done developments in that dev space and a few days ago I could still 'Start' this dev space.
However, when I try to start the dev space today, it seems to be hanging in the 'Starting' status, now already for almost one hour.

My other dev space (a SAP Cloud Platform Mobile Services dev space) I can start within a minute.

Anyone has a clue what might be going wrong with my SAP Fiori dev space ?
And anyone has a solution to get it into the 'Running' status ?

I found in the Help pages this (https://help.sap.com/viewer/9d1db9835307451daa8c930fbd9ab264/Cloud/en-US/62003fa8096f47a99089395840a2cfdf.html):

Your dev space remains in the STARTING state and doesn't switch to the RUNNING state

If your dev space is taking too long to start, check the total dev space size.

From the terminal, enter du-s to display the total size of each project file, including images and other source files. (You don't need to check the size of the node_modules folder.)

But how can you open a terminal to enter the 'du-s' command when the dev space remains in the 'Starting' state ???

Thanks.
Regards,
Geert.

Update: a few cycles of starting and stopping (while it's in 'starting' state) seem to have got it started eventually.

Been having this issue since yesterday for all my dev spaces (5 of them).

All dev spaces freeze on starting state.

Tried the stop and start cycle a bunch of times, no luck there.

region : eu10cf.

This is causing a major down time since we are unable to download the content.

Hi Geert,

Could you please start the devspace again and keep it starting. I'm checking.

Best regards,

[geertvermuyten3 · Accepted solution]

Hello Ahmad,

I just stopped the still 'Starting' devspace and I restarted it. So far, still in 'Starting' state.

Regards,
Geert.

[former_member292197 · Accepted solution]

Hi Geert, Please stop it. I would like to change some configuration then will ask you to start it again. Regards, Ahmad

[geertvermuyten3 · Accepted solution]

Hi Ahmad,

it's stopped now.

Regards,
Geert.

[geertvermuyten3 · Accepted solution]

Hi Ahmad,

did you just restart the devspace ? I just saw it changing into 'Starting'.

Regards,

Geert.

[geertvermuyten3 · Accepted solution]

Hi Ahmad,

the dev space is running now and I can access it again 🙂

Thanks.

Can you clarify what the cause was and maybe what you did to fix it?

(And can this be avoided? Did I do something wrong ?)

Regards,

Geert.

[former_member292197 · Accepted solution]

Hi Geert,

I give more space to your devspace then the devspace started fine.

You need to verify that you don't exceed 6GB size, after that you can face those issues.

Best regards,

Ahmad

[geertvermuyten3 · Accepted solution]

Hi Ahmad,

find below the disk usages. As in the help text it is said that the "node_modules" should not be taken into account, I'm well below the 6GB limit.

However, including the node_modules, I'm approaching the limit. Is the help text then wrong when it says ignore the node_modules?

user: projects $ du -sh --exclude=node_modules
147M    .
user: projects $ du -sh
4.9G    .
user: projects $ 

But to be sure, I'll be removing some projects and their node_modules to lower the disk usage.

Thanks once more.

Regards,

Geert.

[former_member292197 · Accepted solution]

Hi Geert,

Thank you for sharing this information. We will try to reproduce the issue on our landscapes and will find the root cause of such issue.

I'm so glad to hear that your devspace is up and running now.

[former_member292197]

Hi Chaitali,

Your dev space now is up and running. I increased the dev space disk size. Could you please backup your dev space content (you can backup it to git or another tool you prefer).

In addition, please make sure to reduce the amount of projects in the dev space. It is not recommended to create a lot of projects in the same dev space, since you might face the same issue again.

Best regards,

Ahmad

[former_member723794]

Hi Ahmad,

The dev space is running now. Very Thanks 🙂 .

Sure, I will keep this in mind, and I will take the backups.

Thanks and Regards,

Dear Team

I am using a HANA Trial Account to finish SAP Extension Suite Learning Journey and certification. My Dev Space almost never opens and gets stuck in the following error "It's taking longer than expected to prepare your dev space. See Connectivity Troubleshooting" for hours. I have tried clearing cache and cookies, used chrome incognito, IE and Firefox. Nothing helps, out of the last 40 times I have tried it has opened up 2 times. Any help I could get will be wonderful !

My work space id is ws-wxlqs and the Disk Usage shown is 3.5/3.8 gb. If that helps !

Thanks
