Couldn't get received items: Error: HTTP error 503

[Gilroy]

.getReceivedItems sometimes messes up with a 503 error is there anything i can do so that i can retry or make it try again on the 'receivedOfferChanged' condition?

Just add it to the queue again / retry.

 

function getItems(offer, callback) {
    offer.getReceivedItems(function(err) {
        if (err) return getItems(offer, callback);
    });
}

function getItems(offer, callback) {
    offer.getReceivedItems(function(err) {
        if (err) return getItems(offer, callback);
    });
}

 

Very bad there should be a timeout for this, because maybe the session got killed and it will keep recalling it forever.

var config = {

    maxRetries: 5

};


function getItems(offer, retries, callback) {

    if (typeof retries === 'function') {

        callback = retries;

        retries = 0;

    }


    if (retries >= config.maxRetries) return callback(new Error('Max retries reached!'));


    offer.getReceivedItems(function(err, items) {

        if (err) return getItems(offer, retries + 1, callback);

        return callback(null, items);

    });

}

Better? It was just a simple example, not a serious code... Edited April 9, 2016 by Mole

yeah the first example gave me an idea thanks.
