How to configure a compilation result

[rafael-bg]

Hi, I'm try to execute scheduled workflows in Dataform, my repo is not connected with a git remote. I'm using dataform repo.

I've created a Release configurations and the error is: generic::failed_precondition: Package installation timed out.

and Workflow configurations error is:

generic::failed_precondition: Release config projects/11178040344/locations/us-central1/repositories/ind-owf-mde-dev-dataform/releaseConfigs/Dev set for workflow config projects/11178040344/locations/us-central1/repositories/ind-owf-mde-dev-dataform/workflowConfigs/ind-owf-mde-dev-dataform did not produce a compilation result

I don't know what needs to be done, even reading the documentation.

These errors are related to package installation timeouts and issues with using a Release configuration in your workflows. Here is how to address these problems:

Error 1: "generic::failed_precondition: Package installation timed out."

This error typically indicates issues with network connectivity or slow package download speeds during Dataform's package installation process. To address this, consider the following steps:

• Check Network Connectivity: Ensure that your Google Cloud project has a stable internet connection and can access public package registries (like npm or PyPI) without issues.
• Review Network Restrictions: If operating behind a corporate firewall or proxy, make sure the necessary addresses for package registries are whitelisted.
• Increase Timeout Settings: If possible, adjust the timeout limits for package installation in Dataform or your cloud environment settings.
• Optimize Dependencies: Review the size and number of dependencies in your project. Large or numerous dependencies can contribute to timeouts. Streamlining these might help.
• Consider a Local Package Cache: For persistent network issues, setting up a local package cache or artifact repository can reduce reliance on external registries and improve installation speed.

Error 2: "generic::failed_precondition: Release config [...] did not produce a compilation result."

This error suggests that the Dataform Release configuration either failed to compile the code or did not produce an expected artifact. To troubleshoot this, you can:

• Review Release Configuration: Ensure all dependencies are correctly specified and look for any syntax or logical errors in your Dataform scripts that might prevent successful compilation.
• Test Compilation Locally: Before deploying, compile your Dataform code locally using the Dataform CLI to identify any issues.
• Examine Dataform Logs: Check the logs for specific error messages during the Release configuration process. This can provide insights into potential issues in your code or configuration.
• Ensure Access to Necessary Files: Verify that your Dataform environment has access to all required files and configurations, especially if they are not stored in a Git repository.
