Timeouts of plugins

Post by newturn » 21 Nov 2016 11:55

Hi Martin,

i use some (tasker) plugins from joao (for example). With some actions (especially) for autoremote i get all the time plugin timeout. Trying the same actions in Tasker doesn't give any timeouts. Can you do something to prevent this?

Also i noticed with some of the autotools actions that they run one time and the other time they fail (also with timeout).

Can i move around this, without invoking tasker from automagic?

Thanks!!

Hi,

Timeouts happen when the plugin does not send a response within a given time. There's unlikely to be a way for Automagic to resolve this except by using a longer timeout in the plugin action or by disabling 'Synchronous with Timeout'. Did you try to increase the timeout?
Failing plugins are likely a problem of the plugin itself. Contact the author of the plugin when the plugin sometimes works but sometimes fails.
How does the plugin fail? Always with a timeout or is there an error shown by the plugin or an error shown in Automagic?

Regards,
Martin
