Greetings Habicats,
I’m seeking assistance with an issue I’ve encountered when attempting to trigger an auto-build for a builder package.
Specifically, I was completing the following tutorial: https://learn.chef.io/modules/hab-web-app-builder#/. I’ve proceeded through the step called “Watch your package build automatically” and yet, the auto-build for the package is never triggered. I’ve attempted starting from scratch several times to ensure that I’ve followed the instructions exactly, but without success. Previously, I followed the tutorial at https://www.habitat.sh/demo/build-system/steps/1/ and was able to trigger the auto-build successfully within the same origin.
I’m not sure how to further troubleshoot this issue, I’m posting here to ask for any tips, hints, or suggestions that denizens of the forums might be able to provide.
Many thanks!
Thanks for the report! Are you able to trigger a build successfully manually? Can you confirm that you set the “Auto build” setting when connecting your project (the instructions on Learn Chef may be out of date regarding that setting).
Hi Salam,
Thanks for the help. I confirmed that the “auto build” setting was enabled, however I discovered that manual builds are also not working (I thought I had checked this). To troubleshoot this I delved into the hab bldr job commands and discovered the hab bldr job status --origin {origin-name}. On executing hab bldr job status --origin {origin-name} I found that I had two jobs marked as “Queued” and two jobs marked as “Dispatching” - One set from several days ago, and the other set from when I had tested executing a job manually through the bldr.habitat.sh UI.

I was able to cancel the “Queued” and “Dispatching” jobs, but any time I attempt to trigger a build, either manually or automatically, the first job seems to hang at “Dispatching” and further jobs seem to stay in “Queue” status perpetually.
I’ve taken the time to walk through habitat/chef tutorials again just to ensure I’m following appropriate steps, but I can’t seem to see anything I’ve missed and I have been able to walk through these tutorials successfully just a week ago. Any further troubleshooting tips, hints, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
