faraday timeout on a simple get


Is there a way to add timeout options in this simple get method?

I am using Faraday 3.3.

Faraday.get(url)

After searching around, I can only apply timeout options after I initiate a connection first, then apply timeout options. Or there's a simple way?

This is what I am doing right now:

conn = Faraday.new
response = conn.get do |req|
  req.url url
  req.options.timeout = 2 # 2 seconds
end

Solution

  • Try this one:

    conn = Faraday.new do |conn|
      conn.options.timeout = 20
    end
    response = conn.get(url)
    

    UPD: After I had reviewed gem sources, I found out that there's no way do it like you want.

    With get method you can set only url, request params and headers. But to specify timeout, you have to access @options of Faraday::Connection instance. And you can do this by using attr_reader :options

    conn = Faraday::Connection.new
    conn.options.timeout = 20
    

    Or on initialization of Faraday::Connection instance:

    Faraday::Connection.new(nil, request: { timeout: 20 })
    

    Or when it copies connection parameters to request parameter and yields request back:

    Faraday::Connection.new.get(url) { |request| request.options.timeout = 20 }
