Rails HTTParty Getting Timeout::Error

问题

I have an API centric application (/api/v1/users) it simply return all users restfully with JSON format.

My problem is, if I call that route on the controller, it returns "Timeout::Error" What is the problem?

class BaseController < ApplicationController
  def index
    return HTTParty.get('http://localhost:3000/api/v1/users').body
  end
end

Update

• users_controller.rb (/api/v1/users)
• application_controller.rb

回答1:

If I understand correctly, you have an API end-point, at /api/v1/users, and your BaseController#index is calling that method?

If that is correct, inside the same rails process, and you are testing in development mode (as I can tell from your url), then you only have a single process running, which can only handle a single request at once. So if you start a request to BaseController#index, it will start another request to your own test-server, which is busy, and it will just wait until it times out.

If you want to test your API, I would look at a client tool like e.g. Postman.

HTH.
