Default job time out can cause problems

[freddydk]

yeah, but beforehand - it should have removed duplicates (the ones mapping to w1).
Will investigate and see

[freddydk]

All countries - agree, good idea.
On the time-out - I will have a look.

Second, I think I want to add support for running the countries simultaneously - side by side.
Using your own runners - some jobs will just wait until your runners are available for executing the job.

job timeout is 6 hours and cannot be more (it can be set lower)
https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/usage-limits-billing-and-administration

workflow duration can be up to 72 hours.
The idea of running countries side by side is probably the best solution.

on dz, it should be mapped to w1:

$bcContainerHelperConfig.mapCountryCode
ae : w1
ar : w1
bd : w1
dz : w1
cl : w1
pr : w1
eg : w1
fo : dk
gl : dk
id : w1
ke : w1
lb : w1
lk : w1
lu : w1
ma : w1
mm : w1
mt : w1
my : w1
ng : w1
qa : w1
sa : w1
sg : w1
tn : w1
ua : w1
za : w1

Not sure why that doesn't happen

[StefanMaron]

Does that help?

It seems like that mapping is not used.

The first try was with the countries of that list here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/compliance/apptest-countries-and-translations

then the build failed but told me which are not valid:

Then I got the error with country code DZ.
I managed to get the actual list of 49 countries by checking each country with Get-BCArtifactUrl and checking if w1 gets returned or not. I was not aware of the setting

[freddydk]

Does it make a difference if they are lower case?
Looks like a bug, will investigate. The mapping should be automatic:

[StefanMaron]

If they are not lowercase it does not work. But I changed them to lowercase after I removed the ones mapping to w1 so I would need to test this

[StefanMaron]

I think this is why that does not work:
https://github.com/microsoft/navcontainerhelper/blob/74bd262fc0af2296c571c3c6428b9aa1b48f5ec3/AppHandling/Run-AlPipeline.ps1#L768

The url is build manually using the country code from the settings instead of using Get-BCArtifactUrl
