How do I resolve the error: connect etimedout

15.6K    Asked by Amitraj in Salesforce , Asked on Sep 22, 2022

Does anyone know what could cause this error after running the pipeline, and how to fix that?

Error: connect ETIMEDOUT xxx.xxx.xx:12345
  at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:12345:12) {
  errno: -110,
  code: 'ETIMEDOUT',
  syscall: 'connect',
  address: 'xxx.xxx.xx',
  port: 12345
}
ERROR running force:source:deploy:  Metadata API request failed: connect ETIMEDOUT:  xxx.xxx.xx:12345

Interesting thing is that it didn't work last night (I had an error I mentioned) but today it works fine, there is no error/issue.

Error: connect etimedout is a Temporary issue when the Salesforce API is timed out. ETIMEDOUT comes from the Node.js engine and the error implies


ETIMEDOUT (Operation timed out): A connect or send request failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time. Usually encountered by HTTP or net. Often a sign that a socket.end() was not properly called. Since this is a network issue there is not a lot you can do and wait for the network to be up. If you are not able to resolve it, then make sure your network connections are fine.

The error "Connect ETIMEDOUT" typically indicates that a connection attempt to a server has timed out. This can happen for various reasons, such as network issues, server unavailability, or firewall restrictions. Here are some steps you can take to resolve this error:


Check Network Connection:

Ensure that your device has a stable internet connection. Try accessing other websites or services to verify connectivity.

Verify Server Availability:

Check if the server you are trying to connect to is up and running. You can try accessing the server from a different device or network to confirm its availability.

Review Firewall Settings:

Check if there are any firewall or security settings blocking the connection. If you're behind a corporate firewall or using security software, it may be blocking the connection. Adjust the firewall settings as necessary to allow the connection.

Retry the Connection:

Sometimes, connection timeouts can be temporary due to network congestion or server load. Retry the connection after some time to see if the issue resolves itself.

Increase Timeout Settings:

If you have control over the client-side code, you can increase the timeout settings for the connection to allow more time for the connection attempt. This depends on the programming language or framework you are using.

Check DNS Configuration:

Ensure that your DNS settings are configured correctly and that the hostname you are trying to connect to resolves to the correct IP address.

Contact Server Administrator:

If the issue persists and you are unable to connect to the server, contact the administrator of the server or the service provider for assistance. They may be able to provide insights or resolve any server-side issues causing the connection timeout.

By following these steps and troubleshooting the possible causes of the "Connect ETIMEDOUT" error, you should be able to resolve the issue and establish a successful connection to the server.
