[Bug 1409995] Re: Queries to remote scopes time out

 

I'm not sure whether this is related. But, looking at this:

void HttpClientQtThread::run()
{
    QNetworkAccessManager* manager = new QNetworkAccessManager();

    QNetworkRequest request(url_);
    for (auto const& hdr: headers_)
    {
        request.setRawHeader(QString::fromStdString(hdr.first).toUtf8(), QString::fromStdString(hdr.second).toUtf8());
    }

    QNetworkReply* reply = manager->get(request);
    reply->setReadBufferSize(0); // unlimited buffer

The reply is being used without checking that it was created
succesfully. Shouldn't there be a call to error here? Something like

if (reply->error() != QNetworkReply::NoError)

Title:
  Queries to remote scopes time out

Status in unity-scopes-api package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm seeing this on Mako, image #63, devel-proposed.

  Periodically, the music scope fails to return any results, leaving a
  blank screen.

  Looking through the log files, I'm seeing tons of messages such as
  this:

  [2015-01-13 01:33:27.056262] INFO: SSRegistry: SmartScopesClient.get_remote_scopes(): GET https://dash.ubuntu.com/smartscopes/v2/remote-scopes?locale=en_US
  [2015-01-13 01:33:27.057239] ERROR: SSRegistry: SmartScopesClient.get_remote_scopes(): failed to read /custom/partner-id: unity::FileException: cannot open "/custom/partner-id": No such file or directory (errno = 2)
  [2015-01-13 01:33:46.996259] ERROR: SSRegistry: SmartScopesClient.get_remote_scopes(): Failed to retrieve remote scopes from uri: https://dash.ubuntu.com/smartscopes/v2/remote-scopes: unity::ResourceException: Request timed out: https://dash.ubuntu.com/smartscopes/v2/remote-scopes?locale=en_US

  The request times out even though the remote end works fine. (Easy to
  confirm by pasting the same URL into the browser.)

  As an aside, the error about /custom/partner-id isn't an error: if the
  file doesn't exist (errno = 2), we should say nothing. That'll get rid
  of a lot of noise.

  In addition, when I run a query, I see all queries to remote scopes
  fail (see attached trace).

  I'm not familiar with the code. Looking through, I noticed this:

  HttpResponseHandle::SPtr response = http_client_->get(remote_scopes_uri.str(), [&response_str](std::string const& replyLine) {
                  response_str += replyLine; // accumulate all reply lines
          }, headers);
          response->get();

  Following this through, it appears that response_str is being appended
  to from a different thread without any lock. That looks like it's
  wrong to me. But that doesn't explain the timeout exception that is
  thrown from response->get().

  I suspect a race condition somewhere because, occasionally, I get a
  query that works.
