Labs (ch-7 / labs-1) serverError validate

maximilianofurtado

Server error validation when the branded service is inactive:
The req.setTimeout (1500) on line 27 (validate.js) delays a short time for the response with statusCode 500.
And validation fails because the server does not respond in time.

Tnx

You can do something like this

SPOILERS! ->

``` const boat = await got(`${boatSrv}/${id}`, {timeout: 600, retry:0}).json() const brand = await got(`${brandSrv}/${boat.brand}`, {timeout: 600, retry:0}).json() ```

Perfect! I had been looking through the got docs and didn't see anything as simple as what you posted @aalthawr.

Timeout is an option in the api docs. Kind of hard to grasp this.

hard but necessary

Hi @davidmarkclements, I'm a bit confused about this issue. Do you mean 'hard but necessary' because adding the timeout option is necessary as a workaround for validate.js to succeed? Or would it also be necessary in production/the exam?

If it is necessary besides validating with the script: could you please explain why? Which timeouts are colliding and why etc?

Nevermind, found an excellent answer in the forum: https://forum.linuxfoundation.org/discussion/861101/things-about-ch7-lab1#latest
