Cancel a request Alamofire

Question

I am sending a request which is triggered based on timer. But if I press the back button the request still seems to be active and the response in turns crashes the app. Kind

Answer 1

did you try this solution:

let sessionManager = Alamofire.SessionManager.default 
sessionManager.session.getTasksWithCompletionHandler { dataTasks, uploadTasks, downloadTasks in 
dataTasks.forEach { $0.cancel() } 
uploadTasks.forEach { $0.cancel() } 
downloadTasks.forEach { $0.cancel() } 
}

i also add a check to verify if is this the request that i want to cancel:

dataTasks.forEach
            {
                if ($0.originalRequest?.url?.absoluteString == url)
                {
                    $0.cancel()
                }
            }

Answer 2

How about this:

manager.session.invalidateAndCancel()

SWIFT 5

Alamofire.Session.default.session.getTasksWithCompletionHandler({ dataTasks, uploadTasks, downloadTasks in
            dataTasks.forEach { $0.cancel() }
            uploadTasks.forEach { $0.cancel() }
            downloadTasks.forEach { $0.cancel() }
        })

Answer 4

In case it helps anyone, in my case I had a RequestRetrier on the SessionManager that retried the request after it was canceled, so be sure to check there!

Alamofire 4 / Swift 3 / Xcode 8

You can cancel a single request as below:

1 - First get the request:

let request = Alamofire.SessionManager.default.request(path!, method: .post, parameters: parameters, encoding: JSONEncoding.default, headers: createHeader()).responseJSON { response in
    switch response.result {
    case .success(let data):
        success(data as AnyObject?)
    case .failure(let error) :
        failure(error as NSError)
    }
}

2 - Then, in your viewDidDisappear, just call:

request.cancel()

---

You can cancel all requests as below:

Alamofire.SessionManager.default.session.getTasksWithCompletionHandler { (sessionDataTask, uploadData, downloadData) in
    sessionDataTask.forEach { $0.cancel() }
    uploadData.forEach { $0.cancel() }
    downloadData.forEach { $0.cancel() }
}
