Guzzlehttp\Exception\ConnectionException: cURL error 28 resolving timeout after 2851 milisecond - php

Question

I have recently integrated Algolia with my laravel application using Laravel-Scout library. Whenever, I try to search to search any products using algolia, I get GuzzelHttp\Exception\Connection\Exception. Following is the screen output of the response. The same issue also appears when I sync my database with Algolia's server. I have doubled checked my Algolia credentials in my project and they match correctly. I am running this project in linux mint-18.04 LTS, using default laravel server (neither Apache nor Nginx) and MySQL server.

It can be solved in the following way, given that you have already added Scout to your project:
Create your own app\Scout\EngineManager.php:
<?php declare(strict_types = 1);
namespace App\Scout;
use Algolia\AlgoliaSearch\Config\SearchConfig;
use Algolia\AlgoliaSearch\SearchClient as Algolia;
use Algolia\AlgoliaSearch\Support\UserAgent;
use Laravel\Scout\EngineManager as BaseEngineManager;
use Laravel\Scout\Engines\AlgoliaEngine;
class EngineManager extends BaseEngineManager
{
/**
* Create an Algolia engine instance.
*
* #return \Laravel\Scout\Engines\AlgoliaEngine
*/
public function createAlgoliaDriver()
{
$this->ensureAlgoliaClientIsInstalled();
UserAgent::addCustomUserAgent('Laravel Scout', '7.0.0');
$config = SearchConfig::create(config('scout.algolia.id'), config('scout.algolia.secret'));
$config->setConnectTimeout(10);
$algolia = Algolia::createWithConfig($config);
return new AlgoliaEngine(
$algolia,
config('scout.soft_delete')
);
}
}
Create your own app\Scout\Searchable.php:
<?php declare(strict_types = 1);
namespace App\Scout;
use Laravel\Scout\Searchable as BaseSearchable;
trait Searchable
{
use BaseSearchable;
/**
* Get the Scout engine for the model.
*
* #return mixed
*/
public function searchableUsing()
{
return app(EngineManager::class)->engine();
}
}
Create your own app\Providers\ScoutServiceProvider.php:
<?php declare(strict_types = 1);
namespace App\Providers;
use App\Scout\EngineManager;
use Laravel\Scout\ScoutServiceProvider as BaseScoutServiceProvider;
class ScoutServiceProvider extends BaseScoutServiceProvider
{
/**
* Register the service provider.
*
* #return void
*/
public function register()
{
$this->app->singleton(EngineManager::class, function ($app) {
return new EngineManager($app);
});
parent::register();
}
}
Exclude the default scout package from the package discovery in your composer.json:
"extra": {
"laravel": {
"dont-discover": [
"laravel/scout"
]
}
},
Add your ScoutServiceProvider to the provider list in config/app.php.
Run composer dumpautoload.
Whenever adding the Searchable trait to a model, add your own trait to it instead of Scout's.
If you would like to make the timeout environment-dependent, it can be extracted to a config setting. Also please keep it in mind that the above is a bare minimum for getting the Searchable trait to work with a longer timeout, other classes may also need to be overridden for other features to work.

Answer 2

Algolia has default timeouts and this error pops when requests are over the default (I believe 2 seconds). You can check how long requests might be taking for you with: time host [ALGOLIA_ID].algolia.net. Unfortunately, Laravel Scout doesn't have the ability to override this and I've not found a good workaround.
