"Taking snapshot of files..."

[jjasghar]

In running jx v3, on a minikube instance, it seems `Taking snapshot of files..." takes a very long time. Nothing seems to change or move, and looking at the logs you almost worry it's broken.

It hangs for "10-12" mins, https://youtu.be/Id2bj-xQQ5w is an example of me seeing this real time.

Is there a way to get more information on the status, or is it something to do with minikube and the resources it has?

that sounds like its a container build. Building images on minikube is pretty slow in general; since it has to download all of the layers for all of the images it needs to build the new images; then push them all back up to somewhere (e.g. github's container registry). So generally speaking, initial pipelines can take a very long time on minikube.

There's nothing I'm aware of to give an indication in minikube as to progress of a container build.

Maybe put some notes about it in the documentation? For a first time user it's close to that "Oh crap is something broken?" time of length. Some heads up would be nice :)
