test_deploy_shiny times out: R package install exceeds 300s on staging #23
Description
Description
test_deploy_shiny consistently times out waiting for the Shiny deployment to complete. The 300-second deadline expires while packrat is still downloading and installing R packages one by one.
Observed behavior
Task output shows multi-minute gaps between package downloads (e.g. ~3 minutes between PACKAGES.rds fetch and R6 tarball). The deployment is still actively installing packages when the timeout fires — it's not stuck, just slow.
Environment
- Cluster: ganso01-staging
- Connect version: 2026.01.1
- R version: 4.2.2
Options
- Increase the deploy timeout beyond 300s
- Slim down the shiny manifest to fewer dependencies
- Pre-warm the packrat cache on the staging cluster
