Excon error, timeout reached

[cippaciong]

Hello, lately my bot crashes quite often with this error:

/home/cippaciong/telegrambot/.bundle/ruby/2.2.0/gems/excon-0.45.3/lib/excon/socket.rb:299:in `raise_timeout_error': read timeout reached (Excon::Errors::Timeout)

hi, is by any chance your timeout higher than 50?
update: sorry i mean 60

[cippaciong]

I didn't set any timeout value explicitly.

[LevKhramov]

@eljojo i change :read_timeout in excon to higher, but error persists

[eljojo]

Sorry I've been pretty busy these days and haven't been able to work on the gem.
I assume the error is on the API side.

I'll take a look tonight. Probably adding a rescue for the timeout somewhere will be a simple "patch" solution, but I should probably research why the timeouts come initially.

Sorry for the delays

[cippaciong]

Any news?

[eljojo]

Hi,
I am really sorry but I haven't had the chance to play with telegram's API recently.

I'll update whenever I have news.

Hi,

my bot crushes daily with similar error:

/root/vendor-bot/lib/vendor/telegram/bot.rb:20 is:

messages = @bot.get_updates(timeout: 3, fail_silently: true)

Have someone of you any comment on this?
Did you moved to any other lib/gem?

Thanks!
