Another alternative is to ask the user if he wants to wait longer

CDK start timed out due to slow image download ---------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-21293 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-21293 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Bug Components: openshift Affects Versions: 4.3.1.Beta1 Reporter: Martin Malina Assignee: Rob Stryker Fix For: 4.3.1.CR1 I set up a CDK server using https://github.com/redhat-developer-tooling/openshift-vagrant . Then I tried to start the server for the first time. Of course this will take quite long as it needs to download the VM image first. I was on a very fast connection, but it still only went around 1 MB/s. So the startup took longer than the default timeout of 450 s. The result was that the startup timed out in the middle followed by an attempted shutdown by the tooling which failed. So in the end I ended up with the running box, but with two unwanted errors. I'm not sure what we can do here. Perhaps just increase the timeout to something bigger? Even better would be if could detect that a download is in progress so it will take longer, but I don't think the current mechanism is capable of anything like that.
