Hi! I ran into a very strange behaviour of asyncpg. I can connect to a server with Postgresql 10.6 via psql, psycopg2, aoipg, but not asyncpg. The code is very simple:

async def main():
    print('start')
    c = await connect('postgresql://someuser:somepwd@somehost:5433/somedb')
    print('finish')

import asyncio

asyncio.run(main())

and get exception:

  File ".../tst_asyncpg.py", line 12, in <module>
    asyncio.run(main())
  File "/usr/local/Cellar/python/3.7.3/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/asyncio/runners.py", line 43, in run
    return loop.run_until_complete(main)
  File "uvloop/loop.pyx", line 1456, in uvloop.loop.Loop.run_until_complete

    c = await connect('<some dsn>')

    await asyncio.wait_for(connected, timeout=timeout)

    raise futures.TimeoutError()
concurrent.futures._base.TimeoutError

This exception is raised after 60 seconds. I tired different versions of asyncpg, and the behaviour does not change. Right now i'm building library from source in hope to get some additional debug info. I'm nearly sure, that it is not a network issue (other libraries / utilities go well). I checked logs on postgresql, and have a 'canceling authentication due to timeout' for every connection attempt. By the way, i have another instance of postgresql on a server (different port), and it works well.

I will appreciate any advice, how to debug this problem. Thanks.

Which authentication method do you use there?

[juntatalor]

Simple authentication with password via connection string

[juntatalor]

I changed password for user and the problem is gone. I don't know, is it worth to debug this issue deeper.

I had the very same issue - I had a € sign in the password. After I removed that from the password, everything worked fine.

Same TimeoutError, but in pair with SQLAlchemy. Here is my connection string (with postgres auth method set to trust), that caused an error:

postgresql+asyncpg://[email protected]:5432/postgres

After setting password to user everything seems to work fine. New connection string:

postgresql+asyncpg://postgres:[email protected]:5432/postgres
