silently hanging

When I try to connect, I do get a silent timeout. My code:

           var influxDbClient = new InfluxDbClient("http://mydomain.com:8086/", "user", "pwd", InfluxDbVersion.v_1_0_0);
               Console.WriteLine("Pinging..");
               var responseP = await influxDbClient.Diagnostics.PingAsync();
               Console.WriteLine("Pinging..Done");

I use Windows 10 Home with .net core 2.0 and JetBrains Rider IDE. I downloade the latest InfluxData.Net libraries via “paket”. My server runs influx 1.0.2 on debian stretch linux.

I can connect to my influxdb without any problems via InfluxDB Studio. In my example above, I never get the “Pinging…Done” printout.

Any ideas?

Issue is closed for sure! I kept it open, because I believe that a demo project added to the library would make sense. Otherwise one might end stuck and not start using this fantastic library!

Hi, yes - async functions should return tasks. And using .Result should be avoided. Please see this. Your calling function (the one that’s calling the influxdata.net lib functions) should also await otherwise it will run in a “fire and forget” mode and you’ll end up having strange results (you won’t be able to debug the method when you attach to the process, sometimes you might not get a result, etc…). So the issue you were having is not really specific to the library itself it’s more of the way async/await is supposed to be used.

Can I consider this resolved and close the issue?
