Request timeout is not working

[Dhvl-Golakiya]

Hi,

I have set timeoutIntervalForRequest and timeoutIntervalForResource both for NSURLSessionConfiguration but service stop directly when I use below code.

func callService() {
       // var alamoFireManager : Alamofire.Manager?
var alamoFireManager = Alamofire.Manager.sharedInstance
        let configuration = NSURLSessionConfiguration.defaultSessionConfiguration()
        configuration.timeoutIntervalForRequest = 10 // seconds
        configuration.timeoutIntervalForResource = 10

        alamoFireManager = Alamofire.Manager(configuration: configuration)
        alamoFireManager.request(.GET, RequestCall.API_URL + request, parameters: parameters, encoding: .URL)
            .responseJSON { response in

                if let JSON = response.result.value {
                    print(JSON)
                    callback!((JSON as! NSDictionary))
                }
        }
}

Is any wrong with code? I want timeout when response not retrieve after 10 seconds.

As soon as your code leaves callService(), there is no longer any reference to your alamoFireManager variable and it is deallocated, cancelling any pending requests you have. You're also redundantly setting alamoFireManager to the sharedInstance and then to a newly allocated instance later on.

What the documentation about custom Managers doesn't state is that you need to keep the manager around somehow. I like to use a static property in a struct:

struct APIManager {
    static let sharedManager: Manager = {
        let configuration = NSURLSessionConfiguration.defaultSessionConfiguration()
        configuration.timeoutIntervalForRequest = 10        
        return Manager(configuration: configuration)
    }()
}
