Query Timeout and Long-running Tasks

Hello, I'm working on some functionality using the HTTP API and frappe.call() to do work that is processor intensive. Is there a way to extend the timeout from 1 minute to something a bit longer? Is that a frappe setting or something in Python?

I'm guessing the recommended way is to put the task in a celery queue. Would there be a way to return information to the browser after completion, or would that be limited to sending the result through email only?

Thanks.

You can set custom timeout

bench config http-timeout <integer>
bench setup supervisor
bench setup nginx

As root,

supervisctl reload
service nginx reload

You can define a task in task.py in your app and run it asyncrhonously,

eg,
https://github.com/frappe/erpnext/blob/develop/erpnext/tasks.py#L101

import the function and run func_name.delay(arg1, arg2)

At the moment, we don’t have any implementation for long polling.

Thanks.

Thanks for the pointers! 

I'm working on getting celery working, but it doesn't seem to be executing with the func_name.delay(args...) command. Do you need to start the dev server in a particular way to enable the schedule queue? I'm using frappe sitename --serve. I'm just trying to get the output to show on the task in the dev server output.

Basic code snippets here:

Thanks.

You can set custom timeout

`bench config http-timeout <integer>`
`bench setup supervisor`
`bench setup nginx`

As root,

```
supervisctl reload
service nginx reload
```

Are you on the new bench?

With the new bench, bench start (instead of frappe --serve), starts
the celery workers and celerybeat process. For production setup, our
supervisor config has you covered for celery too.

Basic code snippets here:
celery_code.md · GitHub

looks good.

I just upgraded to the new bench, and following your instructions it's working fine. Thanks.
