I have one problem with some ruby script I developed. This look a basic
issue to solve, but I did try several things and till now I didn't find
a solution...
This script is basically to do some http requests to trackers. I'm
getting this following exception some time after I start the script:
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:60:in `extract_information': execution
expired
from /home/user/NetBeansProjects/trackers/lib/trackers.rb:113:in `run'
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:62:in `timeout'
from /home/user/NetBeansProjects/trackers/lib/trackers.rb:111:in `run'
from /home/user/NetBeansProjects/trackers/lib/trackers.rb:103:in `each'
from /home/user/NetBeansProjects/trackers/lib/trackers.rb:103:in `run'
from /home/user/NetBeansProjects/trackers/lib/trackers.rb:76:in `each'
from /home/user/NetBeansProjects/trackers/lib/trackers.rb:76:in `run'
from /home/user/NetBeansProjects/trackers/lib/main.rb:11
So, the script starts but after a while (the time varies) I get the
above exception.
The structure of the code is like this:
run()
...
infohash.each{ |hash,info|
...
trackers.each{ |t|
url = ...
a, b = extract_information(url) #<----------------- Error line(113)
}
}
end
extract_information(url)
begin
Timeout::timeout(3) do #http call to url
end
rescue Timeout::Error => e
rescue SystemCallError => e
...
end
end
So, as you can see in extract_information(url) function I handled the
Timeout::Error, so I dont get why is giving the Timeout error. I also
added a timeout in run() function to handle the extract_information(url)
call, like this:
...
begin
Timeout::timeout(60) do
a, b = foo(url) #<------------ Error line
end
rescue Timeout::Error =>e
rescue SystemCallError => e
end
1. Write a standalone test program which demonstrates the problem. I
tried the following, but it works fine:
require 'timeout'
require 'open-uri'
begin
Timeout::timeout(1) do
open("http://1.1.1.1/foo"\).read
end
rescue Timeout::Error
puts "Rescued"
end
If it works for you too, then keep adjusting it until you find what it
is about your full code which causes the problem.
2. Describe the details of your system. I ran the above under
ruby 1.8.7 (2010-01-10 patchlevel 249) [x86_64-linux]
(Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64)
3. I see your backtrace doesn't include function 'extract_information',
so I suspect that the error is actually being raised from somewhere
other than where you think.
I can handle the exception, the script keeps running and the error
message I got in 'e' is, of course, the same I said in the first port.
As I told you, this just happens sometimes. So, I'm gonna try to build
an example when I get the exception, put in a file and post it here, so
you can check.
Here is an example to explain you the problem.
In attachment there are 2 files. Put both in the same directory run the
main.rb.
$ruby main.rb
Maybe you need to install some gems... Just check the imports I do in
example.rb
A log file will be created in the same directory. Do a 'tail -f' in the
log file so you can check what is going on.
You should get the execution exception - timeout exception:
i tested these, and the program is capturing the Timeout error.. note,
i edited some logging info to include file/lineno and retry counts set
to 3. i also moved the rescue timeout block before the rescue
exception...
mine times out because of dns error...
eg,
$ grep ^E log_2011-01-25.txt
