Esockettimedout error

[VictorOmbui]

Am getting ESOCKETTIMEDOUT Error when I try to connect to Rinkeby or ropsten from my local truffle project. How do I resolve this?

ESOCKETTIMEDOUT

hi @VictorOmbui and welcome to the community !
Can you please post the full error response you’re getting ?
Also, would help to see the network configuration in the truffle-config.js file.

Thanks,
Traian

Try to add networkCheckTimeout and timeoutBlocks parameters into your Rinkeby network settings - see this for reference https://github.com/trufflesuite/truffle/issues/3468

[VictorOmbui]

The cause of the error is truffle times out before we deploy, no?
I’ve used the article to update my truffle config. My deployment was still failing with networkCheckTimeout: 1000000 and timeoutBlocks: 200, so I should increase the two values as much as possible?
Am going as high as 100000000 and 20000 and still getting the same error

Error: ESOCKETTIMEDOUT

It’s probably something else. Can you show me how you’ve defined the network in truffle config ?
Also it would be good to try a plain curl to infura and exclude a more general connection issue:

curl https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/<project_id>
-X POST
-H “Content-Type: application/json”
-d ‘{“jsonrpc”:“2.0”,“method”:“eth_blockNumber”,“params”: [],“id”:1}’

[VictorOmbui]

rinkeby: {

  provider: () => {

    return new HDWalletProvider(mnemonic, url)

  },

  network_id: 4,

  networkCheckTimeout: 1000000000,

  timeoutBlocks: 200000, 

  skipDryRun: true

},

[VictorOmbui]

Not familiar with curl, I can look it up, or if you can share someplace I can read about it I will appreciate

[traian.vila]

Thanks, I’ll look a bit more into this error.
Here’s the doc about curl: https://curl.se/

@VictorOmbui

ESOCKETTIMEDOUT

It all indicates a timeout on the block polling, can you show me the provider url ? (without the projectid ofc) I’d like to see the format and if it’s ws or https.

Also, try to add the following option too in your truffle network config:

confirmations: 2

Thanks !

https://rinkeby.infura.io/v3/ (I could have replied earlier, but different time zones)

Could truffle be part of the issue? I was being asked to try out hardhat instead

[VictorOmbui]

I managed to deploy successfully with hardhat today. I might be using that going forward

[traian.vila]

Hmm, weird, maybe the Truffle team could help out better with this error: https://www.trufflesuite.com/community

Thanks
