MeiliSearch::TimeoutError · The request was not processed in the expected time. execution expired

[macwilko]

Description
When creating records within the Rails app connected to a Meilisearch instance that is not responding correctly, transactions fail.

I have configured a Rails app with a misconfigured Meilisearch instance that's not responding.

I have specified raise_on_failure to be false:

meilisearch sanitize: true, raise_on_failure: false, enqueue: :trigger_meilisearch_job do

Expected behavior
When configured with raise_on_failure: false, I expect Transactions not to throw exceptions.

Current behavior
Transactions fail with MeiliSearch::TimeoutError

Hi, @mattsrobot. Thanks for reporting this issue. I'll look at it soon!

Thanks for using Meilisearch!

Hi, @mattsrobot can you try out this PR #174?

I realized that only ApiError's were caught in the SafeIndex validations, so I've added the Timeout as well.

I'm using a VPN and I think sometimes it causes my connection to the meilisearch instance to be slow (I'm in Georgia, VPN to UK, meilisearch is in France).

edit:

update, so rails transactions in the app are working with this fix! I'm not sure if the rake task is important also?

[macwilko]

Ahh, with some more testing, I don't think so:

@mattsrobot can you give me the full stack trace from this last message? Because it seems to be outside of the SafeIndex.

[brunoocasali]

@mattsrobot I made an update in the branch can you check that, please?

[macwilko]

@brunoocasali thanks!! I've not seen an issue with it so far 🚀
