JitPack build failed with ERROR: Time-out getting container status - jitpack

Question

I am trying to deploy some of my jar libraries through JitPack. So far I am still testing things out, thus version codes are dev-SNAPSHOT or master-SNAPSHOT for the libraries.
For most libraries this seems to work well (at least as far as fetching the artifacts goes); however, one library had a failed build for master-SNAPSHOT.
The corresponding build, master-36ef0715cd-1, reports failure. The last lines of the log read:
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Error building
So, apparently, the jar got built but fetching container status failed after that. This could well be an issue with JitPack’s infrastructure: over the last couple hours, it has taken several retries to get the artifacts to build, and I do not see any difference between this library and the others which built successfully.
How can I retry the failed build, or otherwise fix this (other than by going the crude way of pushing a new commit to my repo)?

Answer 1

Eventually I had to commit more changes, which eventually solved this for the moment.
On the long run, one thing to try:
Go to https://jitpack.io/
In the box, enter your group and artifact ID, and click Look up.
In the list of availale builds, click the Branches tab.
Look for the corresponding -SNAPSHOT build for your branch, and click Get it.
No guarantee this works, but it did trigger a new build after pushing a new commit. Feedback appreciated.
