Solana: Websocket signature_subscribe timed out
Problem Report: Solana signatureSubscribe function timed out
We have encountered an issue with the signatureSubscribe function on the Solana blockchain. The function is used to subscribe to a specific signature for a specific contract address. However, when using the SolanaPy library to interact with the network, we experienced a random timeout when attempting to execute this function.
Symptoms:
- When running the code, some signature subscription attempts time out without any apparent reason or error message.
- The connection attempt succeeded after a timeout, but the
signatureSubscribefunction does not return any data.
Code Snippet:
Connect asynchronously to a websocket using connect(wss_url):
await websocket.signature_subscribe(signature, "confirmed")
In this example, we connect to the Solana WebSocket interface using theconnectfunction provided bySolanaPy. Then, thesignatureSubscribefunction is called with two arguments:signature(the signature to subscribe to) and“confirmed”(the confirmation type).
Debug steps:
- Increase the timeout: Temporarily increase the timeout for connection attempts by setting a higher value for theconnect
function.
Sync as websocket with connection (wss_url, timeout=30):
...
- Check network connectivity: Verify that the Solana network is connected and available by checking the status of the WebSocket interface.
Expected behavior:
- The signatureSubscribe
function should return a result (e.g., a Boolean value indicating success or failure) after it finishes executing.
**The wait period should be long enough to allow the function to execute without encountering an error.
Resolution:
To resolve this issue, we recommend that you increase the connection attempt timeout by setting a higher value. Additionally, it is recommended to check network connectivity and ensure that thesignatureSubscribefunction is working successfully.
By addressing this step, users should be able to resolve thesignatureSubscribe` timeout issue when using SolanaPy with a WebSocket connection.
