  • Yes (provide example URL)
  • No
  • Not relevant
• Log gist:

https://try.gitea.io/test/too-many-files

Description

mkdir too-many-files
cd too-many-files
for i in {1..10000}; do touch $i; done
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git remote add origin https://try.gitea.io/test/too-many-files.git

Then use web browser to load the page.

P.S.

1. It will eventually have a response, just taking very long time.
2. If your server is set up with systemd, systemctl status gitea.service will show some interesting/strange phenomenon, which could be informative.

Maybe pagination to prevent this?

[lunny]

Ignore files after show some, this is also github does.

My repo doesn't have 10k files, but just 550 commits. Opening 'Commits' tab takes more than 2 seconds.

@azlan Can you specify the details of the problem in another ticket ?

[lunny]

I will check that

[metalmatze]

Yes. Github just limits at 1000 files. I think that should be somewhat reasonable for a web UI, you can always check out locally or know what you're looking for an change the url, maybe use a search too. Idk how practical pagination might be for that. I don't see a real value in browsing thousands of files through pagination.

[lunny]

So we could also limits at 1000 files to fix this issue.

[bkcsoft]

@lunny maybe add pagination in the future?

[bkcsoft]

or at least some kind of lazy-loading (Press here to load more)

[lunny]

That's another issues. Currently we have to limit 1000 files just like Github to fix this one.
