Reconnect scheduled when using Twit inside a class

[conradoplg]

This is a very weird behaviour. See this example (seems artificial, but it's the minimal working example):

function User(consumer_key, consumer_secret, token, secret) {
    this.twit = new Twit({
        consumer_key: consumer_key,
        consumer_secret: consumer_secret,
        access_token: token,
        access_token_secret: secret,
        timeout_ms: 5 * 1000,
    })
}

var user = new User(secret["consumer_key"], secret["consumer_secret"], secret["access_token"], secret["access_token_secret"])

var stream = user.twit.stream('user')
stream.on('message', function (tweet) {
  console.log('message: ' + JSON.stringify(tweet, null, 4))
})

When it runs, it connects to the stream but after a few seconds, it closes the connection and schedules a reconnect. Eventually I get throttled by Twitter. The reconnect is called by this stacktrace (I got it by adding console.trace('scheduling reconnect for ' + self._connectInterval) to StreamingAPIConnection.prototype._scheduleReconnect):

Trace: scheduling reconnect for 0

However, if I change the code to this:

var T = new Twit({
    consumer_key: secret["consumer_key"],
    consumer_secret: secret["consumer_secret"],
    access_token: secret["access_token"],
    access_token_secret: secret["access_token_secret"],
    timeout_ms: 60 * 1000, // optional HTTP request timeout to apply to all requests.
})

var stream = T.stream('user')

stream.on('message', function (tweet) {
  console.log('message: ' + JSON.stringify(tweet, null, 4))
})

It works! It seems it only happens when I instantiate Twit inside a class. (If I instantiate it outside the class and put it in the class attribute, it also works, e.g. user.twit = T)

Does anyone have any idea what's going on?

You also changed the timeout_ms in your examples

@ioRekz wow, that's embarassing. I was so baffled that I missed the obvious. Thanks!

However, shouldn't Twit ignore the timeout for streams? I'll open a PR.

same problem for me @conradoplg
