Unable to get request timeout response using node.js

Question

I am trying to set the timeout values inside request module of node.js but as per the given time its not returning the response. I am explaining my code below.

postRequestOptions.url = `${nsoObj.protocol}://${nsoObj.ipAddress}:${nsoObj.httpPortNbr}/jsonrpc`;
    postRequestOptions.headers = {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    };
    postRequestOptions.body = {
      jsonrpc: '2.0',
      id: 1,
      method: 'login',
      timeout: 5000,
      params: {
        user: nsoObj.userName,
        passwd: nsoObj.password
      }
    };

    request(postRequestOptions, (error, response, loginResponse) => {
      console.log('\n error: ', error);
      console.log('\n loginResponse: ', loginResponse);

      if (error || !loginResponse.id) {
        responseObj = {
          status : 'error',
          msg : `Error occurred while performing Login into "${nsoObj.nsoNickName}"  Instance. ${error}`,
          body : null
        };
        reject(responseObj);
      } else {
        loginResponse.sessionId = response.headers['set-cookie'][0];
        responseObj = {
          status : 'success',
          msg : `Successfully performing Login into "${nsoObj.nsoNickName}"  Instance`,
          body : loginResponse
        };
        resolve(responseObj);
      }
    });
  });

Here I am using request module of node.js and set timeout of 5ms. But When I am running this its taking 2min to sent back the timeout error response.

Here I need if this request could not sent back the response within 5 milisecond then it should return the timeout error.

delete timeout from body and using postRequestOptions.timeout = 5000; so do like this:

postRequestOptions.url = `${nsoObj.protocol}://${nsoObj.ipAddress}:${nsoObj.httpPortNbr}/jsonrpc`;
    postRequestOptions.headers = {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    };
    postRequestOptions.body = {
      jsonrpc: '2.0',
      id: 1,
      method: 'login',
      params: {
        user: nsoObj.userName,
        passwd: nsoObj.password
      }
    };
    postRequestOptions.timeout = 5000;//should be outside the body
    request(postRequestOptions, (error, response, loginResponse) => {
      console.log('\n error: ', error);
      console.log('\n loginResponse: ', loginResponse);

      if (error || !loginResponse.id) {
        responseObj = {
          status : 'error',
          msg : `Error occurred while performing Login into "${nsoObj.nsoNickName}"  Instance. ${error}`,
          body : null
        };
        reject(responseObj);
      } else {
        loginResponse.sessionId = response.headers['set-cookie'][0];
        responseObj = {
          status : 'success',
          msg : `Successfully performing Login into "${nsoObj.nsoNickName}"  Instance`,
          body : loginResponse
        };
        resolve(responseObj);
      }
    });
  });

I just added as per you but same issue. Its taking around 2min.

Mohammad Yaser Ahmadi Over a year ago

I think, your request is completely in correct, why the method is login?

subhra_user Over a year ago

No, its giving right result in positive test case. This is json rpc call.
