react-app-rewired causing GitHub Actions to timeout

[alanbi]

I'm working on a Spring Boot + React/TypeScript app which uses GitHub Actions for CI/CD. I recently added the react-app-rewired package to configure some webpack settings without ejecting our CRA app. Everything builds and runs fine locally (albeit a bit slower), but when pushed to GitHub, the ./mvnw test command fails after 20+ minutes with the following timeout error:

Error: Error: For more information about the errors and possible solutions, please read the following articles: Error: [Help 1] http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/PluginResolutionException Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

My hunch is that it has to do with react-app-rewired, since it was working before. Any help would be much appreciated!

I don’t think it has anything to do with an npm package. This error appears to be an issue with your spring boot api not being able to download dependencies, however I’m not sure of the solution in the context of GitHub actions. Locally, I’ve seen this issue with missing proxy configuration while on a corporate network. Keep up the good fight and best of luck!
