Set timeout in Alamofire

Question

I am using Alamofire 4.0.1 and I want to set a timeout for my request. I tried the solutions gived in this question:

In the first case

Answer 1

i have code for swift 2.3 hope it helps you, try it

    let configuration = NSURLSessionConfiguration.defaultSessionConfiguration()
    configuration.timeoutIntervalForResource = 10800 // seconds
    configuration.timeoutIntervalForRequest = 10800 // seconds

    alamoFireManager = Alamofire.Manager(configuration: configuration)

Answer 2

None of the above worked for me: Im on swift 4.2 Alamofire 4.5

I managed to solve it like this :

let request = Alamofire.request("routee", method: .post, parameters: data, encoding: JSONEncoding.default, headers: getHeaders())

/// getting request created by Alamofire and then updating its timeout Value

let url = URL(string: "myroute")!
        var request = try URLRequest(url: url, method: method, headers: headers)
        request.timeoutInterval = 900 // timeout
        request = try JSONEncoding.default.encode(request, with: data)

Alamofire.request(request)
    .responseJSON { response in

}
