After running netlify-plugin-checklinks, my build freezes and then fails

[mark-plummer]

After see the build completed message, I see this:

2. onPostBuild command from netlify-plugin-checklinks

It runs for a while displaying both green dots and red Xs, and then stops but I never get a "Build completed" message in Netlify.

The build finally failed after about 15 minutes with this message:
Build exceeded maximum allowed runtime

A bit of context/background:
Our site is a Jekyll site that we have setup to automatically build in Netlify with a Github webhook when we merge into a particular branch.

I installed the netlify-plugin-checklinks through the Netlify UI, then created a netlify.toml file with these parameters you provided:
[[plugins]]
package = "netlify-plugin-checklinks"

I then saved the netlify.toml file in the root of our site.

Then I merged the netlify.toml file into the branch, which kicked off the build.

That is indeed not a nice behaviour. Is this a public page I could try to re-run the same check on, and if that is the case, could you share the URL?

I'm attaching the log that contains the errors. I'm not sure what all of them mean, but I think there is a combination of issues. Hope it helps. I tried running it a second time, and got the same results.

Honestly, I expect some broken links, because this is an individual branch of a larger site (a documentation site, that has branches that correspond to different software release versions of a product). This particular one is the 6.1 release. I expect that any links to another version would break, but I wasn't expecting as many errors as I see in the attached log.
