Redmine

Hello,

In the admin/plugins page the Check for updates link works well when there is a small number of plugins installed.
However above a certain amount, more than 13-14 in our case, it fails almost 50% of the time
It gets worst as number of plugin increases, I also assume the network condition also affect the process

To reproduce the issue one would need to have 10-20 or more plugins installed

When it fails a popup shows up after 3secs saying;

Unable to retrieve plugin informations from www.redmine.org

My temporary solution:

I found out that the check was initiated from the browser (javascript) and further research led me to ./app/views/admin/plugins.html.erb which contains the js code

$ grep -i timeout app/views/admin/plugins.html.erb
timeout: 3000,

Changed it to 30000 then restarted Redmine, no more failure !!

So it would be nice if this could be fixed at the source

Merci :)
