Many different crashes on starts of Teamcity builds
Answered
Hello,
We have Ubuntu and Windows TeamCity build agents and recently they started to behave oddly. The build agents are on their own machines separate from the TeamCity server. From time to time they fail to start the build and when you run it afterwards it is okay. Examples of the error messages:
On the Windows agents:
Failed to start build #1069 in branch master at 22 Nov 16 15:04 on EC2-i-025689c694b810b10
Failed to start build
Failed to start build #1140 in branch mh_pier_walk at 29 Nov 16 15:51 on EC2-i-025689c694b810b10
Error downloading patch into temporary file "C:\BuildAgent\temp\buildTmp\temp227451476451236331patch_59690"
On the Linux agents:
Failed to start build #8826 in branch jh-subscription-pivot at 29 Nov 16 14:57 on Build Agent 1
Error downloading patch into temporary file "/home/teamcity/TeamCity/buildAgent/temp/buildTmp/temp9126327176144699454patch_59646"
Failed to start build #8830 in branch master at 29 Nov 16 15:21 on Build Agent 3
Error downloading patch into temporary file "/home/teamcity/TeamCity/buildAgent/temp/buildTmp/temp802465751316427621patch_59673"
We are using TeamCity Professional 9.1.7 (build 37573). I know 10 is available but we haven't had the time to upgrade our server to the newest version. All the agents are on AWS and are managed via Cloud profiles.
Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Hello Stoyan,
(copied from email support)
According to all logs your agents and server receive the same error: java.io.IOException: Broken pipe. Which means there is something in your environments which intervenes the network communication. To workaround the problem, please switch to agent side checkout that is a recommended setup. You can also use Retry Build trigger.
