Dealing with Timeout Issues with Typesense in Algolia Plugin

TLDR Prime encounters timeout while making a typesense request inside a custom algolia autocomplete plugin. Though recommended solutions were tried, the issue wasn't fully resolved.

If I'm making a typesense request inside a custom algolia autocomplete plugin, I get timeout every time.

Have you tried increasing the timeout when initializing the client? https://github.com/typesense/typesense-js/blob/6fbbdbe90e3c60643c65b4699778366a7fd00695/doc/examples/clientInitialization.js#L51

Could you right click on the failing network request in the network tab, copy as curl and paste it here, minus the api key

Jack Yes, tried, I increased the timeout to 10 secs, and still timeout

If I make this request with postman (exactly same headers, useragent, everything the same) it works. Somewhy only as algolia plugin fails. If I make the same request from the main file where I have the autocomplete (App.tsx) then it works just fine, network tab showing 40ms response time.

Can you clone this project and see if you can replicate the issue in it: https://github.com/typesense/typesense-autocomplete-demo

Prime

Jason I can't, because I don't know how can I make an autocomplete plugin without the react framework im using

Jason

03:57 PM

Could you give me a standalone project based on react autocomplete that uses Typesense running in a docker container that replicates the issue?

Prime

Yes, I can try to give u a replica of it

Jason Somewhy if I do the same things, in a new folder, just with the endpoint provided in the typesense-autocomplete-demo, it works without issue.

It almost sounds like the ENV variables are not set correctly in your app?

Prime

I don't have env variables. the weird thing tho, if I set the timeout to 500 then it works just fine

I’m not sure what else could be wrong… especially if everything works on a different page in your app.
