Describe the bug

We are experiencing intermittent TimeoutError errors when using the SDK, particularly the ListRulesCommand in EventBridge.

Error: AWS SDK error wrapper for TimeoutError: socket hang up
    at asSdkError (/home/runner/work/project/project/node_modules/.pnpm/@[email protected]/node_modules/@aws-sdk/middleware-retry/dist-cjs/StandardRetryStrategy.js:88:12)
    at StandardRetryStrategy.retry (/home/runner/work/project/project/node_modules/.pnpm/@[email protected]/node_modules/@aws-sdk/middleware-retry/dist-cjs/StandardRetryStrategy.js:61:29)
    at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:96:5)
    at /home/runner/work/project/project/node_modules/.pnpm/@[email protected]/node_modules/@aws-sdk/middleware-logger/dist-cjs/loggerMiddleware.js:6:22
    at func (/home/runner/work/project/project/test.ts:174:13)
    at Object.<anonymous> (/home/runner/work/project/project/test.ts:315:7) {
    '$metadata': { attempts: 1, totalRetryDelay: 0 }
}

According to the service-error-classification, we would expect TimeoutError to be included as a transient error code, and therefore automatically retried, however this does not occur. By logging the error above, we see that there was only one attempt.

SDK version number

Which JavaScript Runtime is this issue in?

Node.js

Details of the browser/Node.js/ReactNative version

Reproduction Steps

The error occurs intermittently when running integration tests in a workflow, however it always occurs on the same API call in the same test.

const client = new EventBridgeClient({
  region: "eu-central-1",
});

await client.send(
  new ListRulesCommand({
    EventBusName: "event-bus",
    NamePrefix: "rule",
  })
);

Observed Behavior

Error: AWS SDK error wrapper for TimeoutError: socket hang up
    at asSdkError (/home/runner/work/project/project/node_modules/.pnpm/@[email protected]/node_modules/@aws-sdk/middleware-retry/dist-cjs/StandardRetryStrategy.js:88:12)
    at StandardRetryStrategy.retry (/home/runner/work/project/project/node_modules/.pnpm/@[email protected]/node_modules/@aws-sdk/middleware-retry/dist-cjs/StandardRetryStrategy.js:61:29)
    at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:96:5)
    at /home/runner/work/project/project/node_modules/.pnpm/@[email protected]/node_modules/@aws-sdk/middleware-logger/dist-cjs/loggerMiddleware.js:6:22
    at func (/home/runner/work/project/project/test.ts:174:13)
    at Object.<anonymous> (/home/runner/work/project/project/test.ts:315:7) {
    '$metadata': { attempts: 1, totalRetryDelay: 0 }
}

Expected Behavior

The API call would retry by itself and then succeed.

This seems to be an issue caused by using jest

https://github.com/facebook/jest/issues/2549

I am guessing that all these checks fail, therefore a new Error object is created

https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3/blob/fcb4ba102eafbc847048c9b83d99ac9733fe620e/packages/middleware-retry/src/StandardRetryStrategy.ts#L120

Hi @cecheta-lego, thanks for opening this issue. This issue seems to be similar to this one, where I have asked for more details to reproduce the error. In that related issue I see there are 3 retries, so, could you update to the latest version and see if the error is retried there?

Thanks!

Hello @yenfryherrerafeliz,

This error occurs intermittently when we run tests in a GitHub Actions workflow. We are using v3.215.0. When the error occurred, there were no retries, most likely due to this comment https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3/issues/3851#issuecomment-1211618132.

I no longer have access to the codebase so I will be unable to reproduce this again or update to the latest version.
