notebook failing with various different errors in builderbot

[jkingslake]

Hi,
I have a notebook that successfully runs in us-central1-b.gcp.pangeo.io (on the smallest server), which I want to include in the examples gallery.
When I commit changes to this repo, the builderbot runs, but fails while running that notebook. Details here.

First it failed with a KilledWorker error at
qmean.plot(size=10)
where qmean is a 580kb xarray.

Then I commented this line out and tried again and it failed with a KilledWorker error at
V.isel(par_esia=1, par_ppq=2, par_prec=2).plot.line(x="time",size=10);
where V is 128kb xarray.
(why am i using Pangeo for such small data!?! It starts out big and ends up small :-) ).

Then I reran the whole thing uncommented and it failed at a much earlier stage before the notebook even starts a cluster.

The other three notebooks in the repo run in builderbot without a problem.

Any thoughts on what could be causing this, given that it runs fine on central1-b.gcp.pangeo.io? Or what I can try to get around it?

Thanks!

@rabernat is this related to the binder issue you fixed by using the new image here?

[rabernat]

Maybe. It can't hurt to try to update the image.

[jkingslake]

so, pangeo-glaciology-examples/binder-gallery.yaml already points to the repo you updated with pangeo-gallery/default-binder@a095b36, correct? So, should the image already be updated?

sorry, if am misunderstanding. In any case, the build failed again when i tried it after pangeo-gallery/default-binder@a095b36:
