## Problem
Builds are failing intermittently due to network connectivity issues when
resolving dependencies from external repositories. The specific error
encountered includes:
> `Read timed out` and other transient HTTP errors during dependency
resolution.
> Could not determine the dependencies of task
':geode-assembly:acceptanceTest'.
> Could not resolve all task dependencies for configuration
':geode-assembly:acceptanceTestRuntimeClasspath'.
> Could not resolve org.gradle:gradle-tooling-api:5.1.1.
> Could not get resource
'https://repo.spring.io/release/org/gradle/gradle-tooling-api/5.1.1/gradle-tooling-api-5.1.1.pom'.
> Read timed out
---
## Solution
Added network tuning configuration to `gradle-wrapper.properties` to improve
build reliability:
- **Connection Timeout**: Increased from default ~30s to 60s
`systemProp.org.gradle.internal.http.connectionTimeout=60000`
- **Socket Read Timeout**: Extended from default ~30s to 120s
`systemProp.org.gradle.internal.http.socketTimeout=120000`
- **Retry Mechanism**: Added automatic retry logic with 5 attempts and
5-second delays
`systemProp.org.gradle.internal.repository.max.retries=5`
`systemProp.org.gradle.internal.repository.retry.delay=5000`
---
## Benefits
✅ Resolves "Read timed out" errors during dependency resolution
✅ Handles transient HTTP errors (401, timeouts) from external repositories
automatically
✅ Improves CI/CD build reliability without requiring manual re-runs
✅ Better handling of slow network connections and repository response times
---
## Testing
- Verify builds work normally under good network conditions
- Confirm `:geode-assembly:acceptanceTest` task executes successfully
- Monitor CI pipeline for reduced timeout-related failures
---
## Risk Assessment
**Low risk** – These are timeout and retry configurations that don't change
build logic.
The only potential downside is slightly longer wait times when repositories
are genuinely unavailable.
