Hello all,
I am learning nextflow, and am trying to launch the codespaces for the RNA-seq pipeline. However, a dozen times it keeps on timing out on me telling me that I don’t have Internet connection. I do have an Internet connection, but I don’t understand why codespace doesn’t load for me. Is anyone else having this problem?
Thanks, csmatyi
Hi Matthew
Can you provide a screenshot of the error you’re seeing? Does this issue also affect other codespaces? For example, an you start any of the example codespaces listed at github.com/codespaces:
This looks like a firewall or VPN is preventing you from accessing the codespace. Do you see the same message/error when starting one of the example codespaces listed at github.com/codespaces?
How do I resolve that?
I’d recommend turning off ad blockers and/or VPNs to start. It would be helpful to determine whether the issue is with the Nextflow training repository specifically or whether your issue is an inability to access any Codespaces on Github. Do you see the same message/error when starting one of the example codespaces listed at github.com/codespaces?
Could not find any ad blockers that I had turned on. I also tried turning off my VPN, but that also did not work.
Do you see the same message/error when starting one of the (non-Nextflow) example codespaces listed at github.com/codespaces?
other non-nextflow codespaces also do not load
Ok, great - we can rule out any repository-specific issue then. The problem is an inability to connect to Github Codespaces in general. I’d recommend checking out the Codespaces troubleshooting guide, and checking any firewall rules that exist on your network. If the problem persists, I’d ask with your network admin (if you have one), and/or testing different browsers and profiles so you can eliminate the particular browser as the source of the connection issue.
thanks, I’ll try
