QTcpSocket why SocketTimeoutError is raised ?

[jsulm]

@JonB said in QTcpSocket why SocketTimeoutError is raised ?:

but he didn't respond....

This is often the case...

@jsulm
Sigh, yes :)
I'm wondering whether the OP's "timeout error" is because he's open()ing the same socket twice, and maybe that's what you get if you try to do that....

Thanks for your answer and sorry if I didn't directly try what you said @JonB .
So I try to remove all the call to open(). I call open() in my constructor of my Rs232 object and connectToHost in the object of my socket connection.
I had the same error raised.
But right to check that connection is open isOpen works fine.
But as I have this socketTimeoutError my tests fails.

Why do you call open()? connectToHost() is enough.

@jsulm
Sorry if I am not really clear.
But I have two classes one for a RS232 which call open() in the constructor.
An other one for Socket which call connectToHost() in the constructor.
So for now I am not calling open() for Socket connection. I only use connectToHost().
And the SocketTimeouError is still raised.

@CHPOG You wrote: "But when I want to check that my socket is correctly open by QVERIFY(socket->open() ==true) the test fails". So, you do call open() to check whether the socket is open? If so, then please change it to isOpen().

@jsulm Yes you're right I write this at the start of my post. But after I follow you advice and use conn->isOpen() instead. This does not solve my issue with SocketTimeoutError.

To be easier for everyone to understand I test with a main and get the same error.

#include <QCoreApplication>
#include <QTcpSocket>
#include <QDebug>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);
    QTcpSocket *socket = new QTcpSocket();
    socket->connectToHost("10.1.0.1",1470);
    socket->write("list\r");
    QString fullData;
    int maxSize = 5000;
    //We wait end of data transmission but not too much if device is in start mode
    while(socket->waitForReadyRead(1000) && fullData.size() < maxSize) {
        QByteArray data = socket->readAll();
        //Removing TCP header
        data.remove(0,32);
        //qDebug()<< "data added  " << data.toHex();
        QString dataAsString(data);
        //qDebug()<< "data added in string  " << dataAsString;
        fullData.append(dataAsString);
    }
    qDebug()<< "isWaitingForCommand " << fullData;
    qDebug()<< "ERROR = " << socket->errorString();
    socket->close();

    return a.exec();

}

I can do more simple. And I always do not understood why this error is raised.
Below this is the ouput :

ERROR =  "Network operation timed out"

@CHPOG since you insist on using the synchronous api, you should at least use https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qabstractsocket.html#waitForConnected

for the connection to the host to be established...

[CHPOG]

@J-Hilk I tried what you said. But the error is still raised. And the message "Connected!" is displayed.
The two lines of code are added just after the connectToHost.
