rescue
execution expired
(Timeout::Error)
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:56:in timeout' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:76:intimeout’
begin
page = agent.get(url)
rescue Timeout::Error
puts “Timeout!”
raise
rescue
puts “Some other error!”
raise
end
If you want control over the timeout value I think you’ll need to
re-wrap the call to agent.get in your own timeout block:
require ‘timeout’
begin
Timeout.timeout(5){ agent.get(url) }
…
If you’re wondering why your rescue didn’t handle the exception, it’s
because Timeout::Error is a subclass of Interrupt, not StandardError.

Not so: WWW::Mechanize#read_timeout= is your friend.

Sure:
irb(main):001:0> require ‘mechanize’
=> true
irb(main):002:0> agent = WWW::Mechanize.new;
irb(main):003:0> agent.read_timeout = 0.1 # set a 0.1sec timeout
=> 0.1
irb(main):004:0> begin
irb(main):005:1* agent.get(“http://www.ruby-doc.org”)
irb(main):006:1> rescue Timeout::Error
irb(main):007:1> puts “Timeout!”
irb(main):008:1> end
Timeout!
=> nil
irb(main):009:0>
Timeout errors can be caught like this:
require ‘timeout’
timeout(5) do
do_something()
end
rescue Timeout::Error
puts “Hey timeout error”
end
So I did what you said…
agent.read_timeout = 10
begin
page = agent.get(url)
rescue Timeout::Error
puts "Timeout error"
rescue
puts "Normal error"
end
but am still getting the following error. Any idea what might be
causing it?
