Timeout not working

Timeout not working

Reproduce

1. ManagementRoot(host, user, pwd, timeout=1)
2. Timeout of 1 second is not respected

Problem

Timeout is not respected. Instead the default timeout for the 'request' library is used, which is forever.

Solution

Replace the following line: response = connect.get(base_uri) By: response = connect.get(base_uri, timeout=self.args["timeout"])

Note: This will only fix the issue for the tmos version call, but since this is the first call the sqk always makes, it fixes the problem is most of the cases. If a connection opens ones, it will probably open a few seconds later.

More information

The timeout is supposed to be set here: self.session.timeout = timeout But that doesn't work anymore.

I solved this by wrapping ManagementRoot object and changinf icr_session

class WrappedManagementRoot(ManagementRoot):
    """A customized wrapper for f5.bigip.ManagementRoot providing preferred behavior."""

    def _get_icr_session(self, *args: Any, **kwargs: Any) -> iControlRESTSession:
        # We wrap this session creating to properly enforce timeouts
        icr_session: iControlRESTSession = super()._get_icr_session(*args, **kwargs)

        timeout: tuple[float, float] = (settings.F5_CONNECT_TIMEOUT, settings.READ_TIMEOUT)

        # noinspection HttpUrlsUsage
        icr_session.session.mount("http://", TimeoutHttpAdapter(timeout=timeout))
        icr_session.session.mount("https://", TimeoutHttpAdapter(timeout=timeout))

        return icr_session
        
 mgmt = WrappedManagementRoot(hostname, ....)
