Problem

The indexing of a SVN repository does not complete, timing out in a command.

The following appears in the atlassian-fisheye-YYYY-MM-DD.log:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 2014-12-01 00:00:00,000 ERROR [InitPing2 Repository ] fisheye BaseRepositoryScanner-handleSlurpException - Problem processing revisions from repo Repository due to class com.cenqua.fisheye.rep.RepositoryClientException - org.apache.subversion.javahl.ClientException: svn: E175002: timed out waiting for server svn: E175002: REPORT request failed on '/svn/repository/!svn/bc/10000' ...

Caused by: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out

Cause

This is possibly caused by something interrupting the connection, like an antivirus. This was specifically observed when using the AVG antivirus, as per this comment on stackoverflow.

Resolution

  • Disable the Anti-Virus
