XRMToolBox RibbonWorkbench (timeout) errors, RibbonMetadataGeneration slow

Hello

Thanks for taking your time to read this question.
Please be so kind as to read my full question before answering.

Since rather recently work with the RibbonWorkbench of XRMToolBox has been annoying, both when working with entity ribbons, but even more when working with application ribbons.
I keep getting eithers timeouts

or error messages saying that RibbonMetadataGeneration is still running.

Checking the solution history, there seems to have been a change introduced sometime after June, that made RibbonMetadataGeneration significantly slower.

My actual questions:

Why is RibbonMetadataGeneration "suddenly" so slow and maybe how to "fix it"?
Any ideas on how to still keep on working with RibbonWorkbench even with timeouts and RibbonMetadataGeneration being excruciatingly slow

Thanks,
Sa.

Hello,

I had this exact same error trying to publish a change to a form ribbon. I found this on the XRMToolBox site - https://www.xrmtoolbox.com/documentation/for-users/connecting-to-an-organization/

I increased the 'Service timeout' for the connection to 00:04:00 minutes and I was able to publish my ribbon changes successfully.

It seems to me like you haven't used Ribbon Workbench for a while.

Since a few versions back you can only use it with solutions which contain nothing but one raw entity without anything.

Also, I think the problem isn't Ribbon Workbench at all.

I think some things in Dynamics in the way ribbons are prepared, e.g. RibbonMetadataGeneration, have just become excruciatingly slower.

Hi,

Strange...

I hope you have not included multiple components and only added entity without fields, forms, views in your solution which is being used for ribbon customization

Try to post your query on this page to get response from the creator of the tool

I had the latest version in RibbonWorkbench.

Also tried the managed solution, different error

but probably same/siminar problems underneath
