Question about exceptions.InvokeTimeoutError

[tmr232]

First, just wanted to thank you for this library. It is awesome!

As for the issue - I sometimes get an atproto.exceptions.InvokeTimeoutError when posting, despite the post actually being posted successfully.
As a result, I am currently ignoring this exception. But that might not always work, and I don't know if it always succeeds.
How can I tell whether posting actually succeeded?

Thanks!

Hey @tmr232! My pleasure!

To understand that posting is successful you need to:

1. pass through send_post without any exception
2. get the return value from send_post which will contain created post info (URI and CID)

Thanks for the quick reply!

That's what I thought, so my problem is - the posts get posted even when I get the exception.
Is there a way to avoid duplicate posting in that case? I am really not sure how to approach this.

The exception is visible here - https://github.com/tmr232/cfgbot/actions/runs/12615124139/job/35154824578

Oh I see it now. So the request is processed by the server, but client doesn't wait for response anymore. In that case I recommend to increase default timeout for reading. Here is how to do it: #501. And back to the previously described strategy

Thanks, will do!
I'm closing this issue.
If it still happens, I might reopen.
