Crash Output

Expected Behavior

I would expect Terraform to either succeed and fail immediately. More than 3 seconds for command is unacceptable.

Actual Behavior

So, as you can see, commands seems to be failing because of this:

Checkpoint error: Get https://checkpoint-api.hashicorp.com/v1/check/terraform?arch=amd64&os=darwin&signature=fcc0431b-ff6a-ab58-73e3-c9ed18233eb0&version=0.12.16: net/http: request canceled while waiting for connection (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)

I try to curl, and it works fine:

### Steps to Reproduce
<!--
Please list the full steps required to reproduce the issue, for example:
1. Install terrafom in MacOS
2. Run try to run any command
-->

### Additional Context
<!--
Are there anything atypical about your situation that we should know? For example: is Terraform running in a wrapper script or in a CI system? Are you passing any unusual command line options or environment variables to opt-in to non-default behavior?
-->

All other commands and tools run well.

Also, it is worth noting that ANY subcommand even a fake one takes time to process:

time terraform foo
2019/11/21 19:38:15 [INFO] Terraform version: 0.12.16

Usage: terraform [-version] [-help] [args]

The available commands for execution are listed below.
The most common, useful commands are shown first, followed by
less common or more advanced commands. If you're just getting
started with Terraform, stick with the common commands. For the
other commands, please read the help and docs before usage.

I have looked, but I can't quite find the same.

Hi @guillemlc, are you still seeing this behaviour? It may have been a brief issue with the route to our checkpoint endpoint that's now past, and I've been unable to duplicate it on a number of 10.14 machines or VMs.

[guillemlc]

Yes, @pkolyvas it is still behaving the same way:

Hey @guillemlc I'm sorry you're still experiencing this issue. It looks like some ongoing network connectivity issues to our Checkpoint endpoint.

We don't believe this is a bug. You can speed up your runs by disabling Checkpoint either within a config or by setting an environment variable:
https://www.terraform.io/docs/commands/index.html#upgrade-and-security-bulletin-checks

If you'd like to continue discussing this, I'd invite you to join us at our community forums.

[guillemlc]

FYI, disable_checkpoint = true in terraform.rc did NOT have any effect.

OK, I will follow up in the community forum. I guess that you are implying that I have some configuration issue on my side. While that may be the case, Terraform command is failing to come back on a reasonable time with the error, nevertheless.

I'm going to lock this issue because it has been closed for 30 days ⏳. This helps our maintainers find and focus on the active issues.

If you have found a problem that seems similar to this, please open a new issue and complete the issue template so we can capture all the details necessary to investigate further.
