Description

  • asyncpg version: 0.20.1, 0.19.0, 0.18.3, 0.17.0, 0.16.0
  • PostgreSQL version: 10.6
  • Do you use a PostgreSQL SaaS? If so, which? Can you reproduce
    the issue with a local PostgreSQL install?
    : No SaaS
  • Python version: 3.7.3
  • Platform: MacOs 10.15.4 / Alpine Linux
  • Do you use pgbouncer?: No
  • Did you install asyncpg with pip?: Tried both: pip and build from source
  • If you built asyncpg locally, which version of Cython did you use?: 0.29.14 for 0.20.1
  • Can the issue be reproduced under both asyncio and
    uvloop?
    : Yes, both with and without uvloop

Hi! I ran into a very strange behaviour of asyncpg. I can connect to a server with Postgresql 10.6 via psql, psycopg2, aoipg, but not asyncpg. The code is very simple:


async def main():
    print('start')
    c = await connect('postgresql://someuser:somepwd@somehost:5433/somedb')
    print('finish')

import asyncio

asyncio.run(main())

and get exception:

  File ".../tst_asyncpg.py", line 12, in <module>
    asyncio.run(main())
  File "/usr/local/Cellar/python/3.7.3/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/asyncio/runners.py", line 43, in run
    return loop.run_until_complete(main)
  File "uvloop/loop.pyx", line 1456, in uvloop.loop.Loop.run_until_complete
  File ".../ceres/tst_asyncpg.py", line 7, in main
    c = await connect('<some dsn>')
  File ".../venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/asyncpg/connection.py", line 1677, in connect
    max_cacheable_statement_size=max_cacheable_statement_size)
  File ".../venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/asyncpg/connect_utils.py", line 663, in _connect
    raise last_error
  File ".../venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/asyncpg/connect_utils.py", line 655, in _connect
    connection_class=connection_class)
  File ".../venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/asyncpg/connect_utils.py", line 631, in _connect_addr
    await asyncio.wait_for(connected, timeout=timeout)
  File "/usr/local/Cellar/python/3.7.3/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/asyncio/tasks.py", line 423, in wait_for
    raise futures.TimeoutError()
concurrent.futures._base.TimeoutError

This exception is raised after 60 seconds. I tired different versions of asyncpg, and the behaviour does not change. Right now i'm building library from source in hope to get some additional debug info. I'm nearly sure, that it is not a network issue (other libraries / utilities go well).
I checked logs on postgresql, and have a 'canceling authentication due to timeout' for every connection attempt. By the way, i have another instance of postgresql on a server (different port), and it works well.

I will appreciate any advice, how to debug this problem. Thanks.

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.

  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start with the connection entry point in connection.py and the timeout path in connect_utils.py, especially _connect and _connect_addr. Compare the failing asyncpg connection attempt with the PostgreSQL log entry showing authentication cancellation, and review the reported behavior across the listed asyncpg versions and environments. Done means identifying a reproducible cause or a clearly actionable diagnosis.
