Scott Wegner commented on BEAM-5662:
------------------------------------
I ran this locally without hitting these failures many times, so they seem like
uncommon flakes.
The website pre-commit validates external links, and has [sane timeouts
configured|https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/41dd6e1d651b41bd75f04e7a8ac536c8a62ef0ea/website/Rakefile#L7]
(90s connect, 3min roundtrip).
It would be nice to be able to add retries, but the html-proofer doesn't have
this functionality. There is an [existing feature
request|https://github.com/gjtorikian/html-proofer/issues/310] which we can
track.
I don't think there is anything actionable right now. If we find a particular
domain is unreasonably flaky, we can exclude it. Otherwise, I think our
configuration is sane and it's valuable to have these checks.
I've opened https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/7393 with various cleanup to
the config file.
