Sometimes I use slow internet connections to deploy to firebase hosting.
They end up with this error:
Task XXX failed: retries exhausted after 6 attempts
It is possible to extend the connection timeout? And/or the number of retries?
Thank you
No, this is not possible at present.
However, you can open an issue in the firebase-tools GitHub repo, explaining your problem and requesting this functionality: https://github.com/firebase/firebase-tools
Edit: workarounds
User @example had an interesting work around in a comment (paraphrased):
connect to a remote computer to do all the internet heavy tasks like deploying things. 1. Change code locally, 2. push to your git, then 3. pull, it in your remote computer and 4. deploy. 1, 2, 3 are low data, and the remote handles 4., the high-data task
And as an alternative, you could set up a GitHub action to deploy on push to master: here's a post describing that workflow https://fireship.io/snippets/github-actions-deploy-angular-to-firebase-hosting/
