Greetings!
I’m following the instructions from the Zeebe Documentation, Section 10.2 Installing Helm Charts. I was able to deploy my workflow after insuring that partition 1 had leader status. I then ran my go client (which worked without problem in the downloaded-zeebe-binary scenario) and I was able to issue zbctl create instance, giving it arguments that I knew would force it down a short path in the workflow. It worked fine. It was an error condition (expected) and finished quickly. Good. Then I launched a command with all arguments and therefore real work to do. Checking in Operate dashboard, it took over 2.5 hours for the single instance to complete. The xterm where I had my client running continuously exhibited this message, with my script’s STDOUT messages interspersed:
2019/12/04 18:12:36 Failed to activate jobs for worker default rpc error: code = DeadlineExceeded desc = context deadline exceeded
In the xterm where I was running kubectl port-forward, it was streaming this message continuously:
...
Handling connection for 26500
E1204 18:16:36.950360 31115 portforward.go:376] error copying from local connection to remote stream: read tcp4 127.0.0.1:26500->127.0.0.1:36324: read: connection reset by peer
Handling connection for 26500
...
I google’d the E1204 error and found lots to read about it but no solution (yet). That said, using kubectl port-forward is recommended only for development (per Zeebe Documentation). But, that’s not good, to have such a long run time, even for development.
Have you encountered this problem before? I plan to put my go client into a container, so perhaps doing so will make this a non-issue. But still…
Thank you 
Kimberly
