Searchkick with ElasticSearch returns “Faraday::ConnectionFailed: execution expired”

Question

I\'ve been using the searchkick gem with elasticsearch with no problems on a Rails 4.2.0 application. I have a single Video model using searchkick.

For some reason

Answer 1

For me, the problem was with the missing port in the URL. ( I am using AWS elasticsearch and not running it on localhost. )

I changed

ENV['ELASTICSEARCH_URL'] = Rails.application.credentials.dig(:elasticsearch, :url)

to

ENV['ELASTICSEARCH_URL'] = Rails.application.credentials.dig(:elasticsearch, :url) + ':443'

This does not affect all my projects, so I am guessing this has to do with a newer release.
