clasp commands occasionally hang the prompt

[OleksandrRakovets]

Expected Behavior

clasp push, version, deploy, versions, deployments finish execution correctly and let me enter next command.

Actual Behavior

Commands execute correctly, but prompt hangs, so I have to hit Ctrl+C to enter next command.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

I have not noticed any particular circumstances leading to the issue. They hang randomly.
On clasp 1.3 experienced this a couple of times, but on 1.4 it appears more frequently.

I tried to write a shell script to automate version submission and redeployment for test/prod URLs in order to stop copy/pasting long ids, but had to drop it for the time being because of hangs.

Specifications

• Node version (node -v): 10.6.0
• Version (clasp -v): 1.4.0
• OS (Mac/Linux/Windows): macOS 10.13.5

I have the same kind of issue using
clasp version crCp_build_v3.01
clasp version description trying to save/snapshot actual version a new one.
the prompt hang on - Creating a new version...

Node version (node -v): 10.6.0
Version (clasp -v): 1.4.0
Windows 10

Strange. My initial instinct is that the API is not responding for some reason.

Would a forced ~10 second cutoff in clasp with an error message solve the problem?

It may be because checkIfOnline which uses is-online hangs, but the default timeout is 5 seconds.

Feel free to re-open this issue or upvote it if it's still an issue.
Closing due to lack of activity.

hi, I am using clasp 2.3.0 on mac and I have the situation where clasp commands hang at the prompt; after a while I give up and press Ctrl-C

@tofutim can you try by building from PR #778 if there is any improvement?

There seem to be multiple issues for the same thing. I am sure there are more but I can't find all of them. Not sure which one we want to be primary so I am posting this in all of them. Any resolution or idea what is wrong?

• Avoiding Ctrl+c exits to every call #805
• Clasp commands execute but never return to the prompt #717
• clasp commands occasionally hang the prompt #257 (this one)

Try replacing @google/clasp 2.3.0 with forked-clasp which is more advanced. This should fix the issue.

npm uninstall -g @google/clasp
npm install -g forked-clasp

@PopGoesTheWza gave me this idea, but just re-installing @google/clasp globally worked for me:

npm un -g @google/clasp
npm i -g @google/clasp

My prompt now finally closes. It drove me crazy, when it would hang lol
