When starting a conversation from an explore, I’ve noticed that i’ll get a response to a question like “I’ll write a query for question: ….” and it’ll take several minutes and then nothing. No errors or anything or a real answer. Since it takes so long I don’t keep the browser tab active and let it run in background and wondering if that has something to do with it.
I see a lot of info when expanding Debug Info but none of it shows up as an answer in convo
In addition to the background tab issue (which is a very likely cause), it is worth testing the query complexity.
Try asking an extremely simple question, such as ‘Count the total number of rows in this table’ or something that should return instantly. If that works quickly, it confirms that the connection itself is fine.
If your original query is too complex, it might be hitting a timeout limit (either in Looker or the database server) before Gemini can formulate the final textual response.
It was definitely not a complex query. Also I’ve seen times where CA says it can’t come with an answer and error out, but this didnt happen either
