i am getting a “timeout” error when trying to test a chatGPT step in my workflow. What can be causing this?
I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing a timeout error with the chatGPT step in your workflow. This issue might be caused by the API taking too long to respond or some issue with the network connection. To help you further, I would need more information about your workflow and the specific chatGPT step you’re using. In the meantime, you can try increasing the timeout for the HTTP request if you’re using the axios function from @pipedream/platform. You can do this by adding a timeout property to the config object: ```
await axios($, { method: “GET”, url: “your-url”, timeout: 30000, // Timeout in milliseconds, e.g. 30 seconds });
the details of the error state:
TIMEOUT: TIMEOUT
at Timeout._onTimeout (file:///var/task/lambda_handler.mjs:884:23)
at listOnTimeout (node:internal/timers:569:17)
at process.processTimers (node:internal/timers:512:7)
I see that you’re encountering a timeout error in your workflow. This might be due to the API taking too long to respond, network issues, or some other problem in your code. To better assist you, I would need more information about your workflow and the specific step where this error is occurring. In the meantime, if you’re using the axios function from @pipedream/platform to make an HTTP request, you can try increasing the timeout for the request by adding a timeout property to the config object: ```
await axios($, { method: “GET”, url: “your-url”, timeout: 30000, // Timeout in milliseconds, e.g. 30 seconds });
what is the axios function? How do i know if I am using it. I only have chatGPT and nodeJS steps in my workflow
The axios function is a popular JavaScript library used for making HTTP requests. In Pipedream, you can use the axios function from the @pipedream/platform package to make HTTP requests in your Node.js steps. To check if you’re using it in your workflow, look for an import statement like this at the beginning of your Node.js code step: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; And then, within your code, you might see a usage of axios like this: await axios($, { method: "GET", url: "your-url", }); If you don’t see any import or usage of axios in your Node.js steps, then you’re likely not using it in your workflow. Since you mentioned you have chatGPT and Node.js steps, it’s possible that you’re using a different method for making HTTP requests or not making any requests at all. If you could provide more information about your Node.js steps, I can help you better understand if you’re using axios or not.
my timeout is occuring during a chatGPT step. And in fact i am getting the timeout error intermittently. What could be causing this?
I understand that you’re experiencing intermittent timeout errors during a chatGPT step in your workflow. This could be due to the API taking longer than expected to respond or temporary network issues. Since the issue is intermittent, it’s likely not a problem with your workflow configuration. To help mitigate this issue, you can consider adding error handling and retry logic in your Node.js steps to handle such timeouts and retry the request. However, if the problem persists or worsens, it might be worth reaching out to the chatGPT API provider to check if there are any known issues or rate limits that could be causing these timeouts. If you need further assistance or have more details about your workflow and the chatGPT step, please feel free to provide them, and I’ll be happy to help.
show me what code to use to add error handling and retry logic. I want the code to retry the request up to 5 times if there is a timeout error
To add error handling and retry logic for up to 5 times in case of a timeout error, you can use the following code snippet in your Node.js step: ```
import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”; export default defineComponent({ async run({ $ }) { const maxRetries = 5; for (let i = 0; i < maxRetries; i++) { try { const response = await axios($, { method: “GET”, url: “your-url”, timeout: 30000, // Timeout in milliseconds, e.g. 30 seconds }); return response; } catch (error) { if (error.code === “ECONNABORTED” && i < maxRetries - 1) { console.log(Request timed out. Retrying (${i + 1}/${maxRetries})...); } else { throw error; } } } }, });
make me a code that does the following:
If there is a “timeout” error during a chatGPT step named “program_create”, I want the code to retry that step up to 5 times
I understand that you want to retry the “program_create” chatGPT step up to 5 times in case of a timeout error. However, retrying a specific step like “program_create” within the same workflow is not directly possible. Instead, you can handle errors and implement retry logic within a code step that makes the chatGPT API request. Here’s an example of how you can implement retry logic for the chatGPT API request using a code step: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ props: { apiKey: { type: "string", label: "API Key", secret: true, }, prompt: { type: "string", label: "Prompt", }, }, async run({ $ }) { const maxRetries = 5; const chatGPTRequest = async () => { return await axios($, { method: "POST", url: "https://api.openai.com/v1/engines/davinci-codex/completions", headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json", "Authorization": `Bearer ${this.apiKey}`, }, data: { prompt: this.prompt, max_tokens: 50, }, timeout: 30000, // Timeout in milliseconds, e.g. 30 seconds }); }; for (let i = 0; i < maxRetries; i++) { try { const response = await chatGPTRequest(); return response; } catch (error) { if (error.code === "ECONNABORTED" && i < maxRetries - 1) { console.log(`Request timed out. Retrying (${i + 1}/${maxRetries})...`); } else { throw error; } } } }, }); This code will retry the chatGPT API request up to 5 times if a timeout error occurs. If the request is successful or encounters a different error, it will exit the loop and either return the response or throw the error. Please replace the apiKey and prompt values with your actual API key and prompt for the chatGPT API.

for the code you just wrote, do I need to replace the “prompt” value with the entirety of the prompt that I want chatGPT to go through?
Yes, you need to replace the prompt value in the props section of the code with the entire prompt you want to use for the chatGPT API request. Here’s the relevant part of the code: ```
props: { apiKey: { type: “string”, label: “API Key”, secret: true, }, prompt: { type: “string”, label: “Prompt”, }, },
