ETIMEDOUT after some time on Mainnet (Ethers.js and Infura)

Bugs
1

Hello everyone,

I seem to have run into an issue, where i get simple event responses on new blocks, and then i make a new call after that again.

After like 5-10 calls or so, it gives an ETIMEDOUT error , and i cant understand why.
Would appreciate all the help i could get.

This is the error it gives.

And here is my code:

const { ethers } = require(“ethers”);
let network = “mainnet”;

const provider = new ethers.providers.InfuraProvider(network, ‘24254d9e2dc5439a841745f0c5e03a31’);
provider.pollingInterval = 20000;

provider.on(‘block’, async (tx) => {
console.log(“New block tx in “+network+”'s networks”, tx)
let block = await provider.getBlockWithTransactions(tx)
let transactions = block.transactions;
//check each transaction in the block
transactions.forEach(transaction => {
//if transaction contains any of the array ones.
if(transaction.to == “0x704cEF323aa8ac769C52fb61d32Db0a788CD3018”) {
console.log(“We have the transaction”, transaction)
let txid = transaction.hash;
}
});
})

Best regards, Robo

Hi Robo,

Thanks for your patience! After working on this for some time, I’m having a hard time recreating your error; I’ve had it running for about 10 min and it’s still going strong (77 calls and counting).

It appears you’re getting an “Unhandled Promise Rejection Warning” with a “missing response” error, which is what I believe may be causing that timeout.

Do you define the getBlockWithTransactions function elsewhere in your code? If not, that may be causing the error message to show.
