Getting `Ement: Sync timed out` ement version 0.7
ement Version: 0.7 GNU Emacs 30.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, cairo version 1.16.0, Xaw3d scroll bars)
I know the changelog for 0.7 had:
- Retry sync for network timeouts. (Accidentally broken in v0.6.)
It seems I'm still getting them? I've enabled toggle-debug-on-error and waiting to see if I get a backtrace for this.
Ah there it is:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (ement-api-error "28: Operation timeout.")
signal(ement-api-error ("28: Operation timeout."))
ement-api-error(#s(plz-error :curl-error (28 . "Operation timeout.") :response nil :message nil))
plz--sentinel(#<process plz-request-curl<2>> "exited abnormally with code 28\n")
Not too much information though.
Hello,
Please be more specific. Is it happening regularly, or only occasionally? Is it happening when you first connect, or later? Are you using the matrix.org homeserver, or something else? Are you sure you have the correct version of the package loaded, not any older version? Do you have ement-auto-sync enabled?
Thanks.
Hello, Please be more specific.
Okay, no problem.
Is it happening regularly, or only occasionally?
It happens regularly, every 1-2 minutes.
Is it happening when you first connect, or later?
After first connection. First connection looks like:
No more unread articles
Ement: Read sessions.
Ement: Sync request sent, waiting for response...
Ement: Response arrived after 9.21 seconds. Reading 1.2M JSON response...
Ement: Reading JSON took 0.34 seconds
Ement: Reading events...
Ement: Sync request sent, waiting for response...
Ement: Sync done. Use commands ‘ement-list-rooms’ or ‘ement-view-room’ to view a room.
Then a minute or so later, the minute after that, and so on:
Ement: Sync timed out (@pareto-optimal-dev:matrix.org). Syncing again...
However... if I just sit at the *Ement Room List* I've noticed the issue doesn't seem to happen.
If I join the #org-mode:matrix.org room or others though, I'll get the syncing error every minute or so.
Are you using the matrix.org homeserver, or something else?
matrix.org homeserver
Are you sure you have the correct version of the package loaded, not any older version?
I'm pretty sure. When I do C-h f ement-connect RET and navigate to the source the file has:
;; Author: Adam Porter <[email protected]>
;; Maintainer: Adam Porter <[email protected]>
;; URL: https://github.com/alphapapa/ement.el
;; Version: 0.7
Additionally it has the taxy powered ement room list.
Do you have ement-auto-sync enabled?
Yes.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
I'm confused: is the problem you're reporting that you sometimes see this message:
Ement: Sync timed out (@pareto-optimal-dev:matrix.org). Syncing again...
...and that Ement continues to sync?
Or is the problem that you get this error:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (ement-api-error "28: Operation timeout.")
signal(ement-api-error ("28: Operation timeout."))
ement-api-error(#s(plz-error :curl-error (28 . "Operation timeout.") :response nil :message nil))
plz--sentinel(#<process plz-request-curl<2>> "exited abnormally with code 28\n")
And you have to manually make Ement sync again by pressing g in a room buffer?
If it is the former, that is normal behavior when the server doesn't respond in time. It can happen when it's busy, like any other server.
If it's the latter, that should no longer be happening, since I fixed it; and I have confirmed that the fix works on my own system.
However... if I just sit at the Ement Room List I've noticed the issue doesn't seem to happen.
What do you mean, "sit at the room list"? Please use the specific Emacs jargon so I know what you mean (e.g. selected window, current buffer, etc).
If I join the #org-mode:matrix.org room or others though, I'll get the syncing error every minute or so.
I'm guessing you mean, "If I open this room in a buffer," because I'm guessing you aren't actually leaving and rejoining that room, because that's not normal for Matrix (it's not like IRC where people constantly leave and rejoin rooms).
If it is the former, that is normal behavior when the server doesn't respond in time. It can happen when it's busy, like any other server.
I really don't know... i can just make a screencast later to demonstrate.
Is there some way to supress these messages though? They're happening every minute now and it's kind of distracting.

No, but that's not normal. It would seem to suggest that the server is overloaded (which the main matrix.org server usually isn't), or that your network connection is not stable.
