Increase Timeout for html-to-xlsx templates

[AB-D]

Hi Jsreport,

I have an urgent issue.

There is a timeout of 30 seconds for a html-to-xlsx report, we have been able to increase the timeout for pdf reports, but how do we increase the timeout for xlsx reports?

Please share the jsreport version number and the config.
Since 2.7.0 it should be enough to increase the config in reportTimeout prop.

Hi Jan,
We are updating to 2.8.0
We were on 2.6.1

We use docker, so we don't have a config file.

How do we set this reportTimeout property when using docker?

With the 2.8.0 there is a default timeout 60s.
You can see it in the output

2020-11-09T11:35:23.926Z - info: Using general timeout for rendering (reportTimeout: 60000)

If you want to increase it, you can use the environment variable

docker run -p 5488:5488 -e reportTimeout=120000 jsreport/jsreport:2.8.0

When you are still getting the timeout afterward, you may be hitting one bug we fixed recently. You can try to install the patch using

npm i jsreport-html-to-xlsx@2.8.1 --save
