WaitForUpdates timed out

[maciej_wos]

Hi,

Anyone encountered this problem:

When I try to execute WaitForUpdates and no updates happen for a while (a minute maybe?) then the operation throws an exception:

SystemError: The operation has timed out

Shouldn't it be a locking call and wait forever?

No, it doesn't wait forever. I've heard 30 minutes (not one). I'll check.

I think it depends upon the socket timeout. I am getting a timeout after 2 minutes which is in line with my socket timeout value.

Obviously, the work around is to put this in a loop and only exit the loop if you get the value you want.
