I'm currently working on error handling when my mongo database is down. I've noticed that when mongo is down, mongoose promises seem to just hang - neither the success or error handler is being called. The following code only prints out calling sign in, and the HTTP request hangs for 2 minutes before timing out on the client side.
router.post('/auth/signin', function (req, res, next) {
console.log('calling sign in');
User.find({}).then(() => {
console.log('success');
}, (error) => {
console.log('err', error);
}).then(() => {
res.sendStatus(500);
});
}
I have tried adding the following to my mongoose connection options:
return mongoose.connect(mongoUrl, {
server: {
socketOptions: {
connectTimeoutMS: 1000,
socketTimeoutMS: 1000
}
}
}, done);
But this seems to have had no effect.
