Question

Resources["ContentLoaderFunctions"].Delete() produces a "Read timed out" error

Hello community,

 

While doing tests on creating/deleting projects, I am trying to use the following function:

let url = '.../Thingworx/' + entity.type + "s/" + entity.name
var params = {
 headers: {
 "appKey": appKey,
 "Content-type": "application/json",
 "Accept": "application/json"
 } /* JSON */ ,
 url: url /* STRING */
};
Resources["ContentLoaderFunctions"].Delete(params)

 

For some reason though it is SUPER slow (and seems to be causing me to not be able to delete entities manually in the composer at the same time).

I do get the following error in my ScriptLog:

JavaException: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out

Eventually though, the entities are deleted and I can see this in the "ConfigurationLog":

Which confirms that the "Administrator" (user used for the AppKey during tests) had deleted the entities.

 

But what could be the reason for the time out issue?

 

Thanks,

Jens C.

@jensc ,

 

If you make the same call in Insomnia or PostMan, do you see the same delay?  Additionally, is there a reason why you're using the ContentLoader functions to delete entities and not the built-in services?

Hello @nmilleson,

 

When trying from Insomnia (and running the service from the composer), nothing really happens. I get a response 200 back in insomnia, but the entity still remains. Perhaps my request is wrong?

The reason why I am using the contentloader for deleting this entity is because there is no entityservice to delete mashups (and some other entity types).

If you know of any other services that can actually delete stuff like mashups, menus etc, then I'd be happy to give it a shot though!

 

Thanks,

Jens C

(you are doing a POST request in your screenshote instead of a DELETE request)

edit: ah I just noticed you call the contenloaderfunction service. so POST would be ok. But why not bypass the ContenLoaderFunction and call DELETE on 

'.../Thingworx/' + entity.type + "s/" + entity.name

I think this was the idea if this even works
