Other than the nit it looks great to me. Would be good if @gkalpak or @Narretz would take a look as well before merging

Nit: expect($httpBackend.flush).toThrow(...); is more concise and readable (here and below).
(Else you need a space after flush();.)

If it (flush) uses this at all, it's not an option anyways

I would leave it at .not.toThrow() (to account for the unlikely situation where the error message changes and the behaviour breaks (simultaneously)).
It's also more concise and readable.

LGTM 👍

TBH, I don't find it very useful, since having to recreate the resource class everytime a timeout promise is resolved doesn't seem very practical. But if people are using it, it's fine by me 😃

What @gkalpak said seems like the behavior is not well defined. Do we need to update the docs? Also, the commits must be squashed and the commit message doesn't follow our guidelines.

caitp commented Aug 25, 2015

the behaviour seems pretty well defined to me @Narretz. It would be cool if you could override it on a per-request basis, but hey.

Some time ago, I had proposed that we allow letting you specify a factory function to produce the timeout promise, I can't remember if that's been done yet or not. That would solve the usability concerns.

@netman92 can you update the docs to indicate that the timeout parameter can be specified during initial resource class construction? Then I'll squash and merge

@netman92

Contributor Author

@caitp https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ngResource/service/$resource
and param timeout

timeout – {number|Promise} – timeout in milliseconds, or promise that should abort the request when resolved.

I think, it is already in docs.

@caitp Sorry, but I do not know, what to add to docs.

jtheoof commented Aug 31, 2015

I agree with @netman92. The documentation seems correct, the behaviour was incorrect in a sense that the Promise was copied, therefore not cancellable. I think it's good to merge.

The documentation seems correct to me as well. Do you think it will be merged eventually @caitp? I'd really need this for one of my apps.

You know what they say: It's never too late, right ?)
Well, I just realized there is an issue with this change:

If the user fails to re-instantiate the resource after having cancelled a request (i.e. after having resolved the timeout promise), all subsequent requests will fail (and this behaviour isn't even documented).
You can see it in action here (with the current master).

IMO, we should come up with a better approach to request cancelling for $resource (let's discuss in #13058).
At the very least, a warning should be added in the docs and a BC notice in the changelog (but I would prefer fixing the behaviour instead).

#13058 has been superseeded by #13210.

…ning

Promises never worked correctly as values for `timeout` in `$resource`, because the same value has
to be re-used for multiple requests (and it is not possible to `angular.copy()` a promise).
Now (in addition to ignoring a non-numeric `timeout`), a warning is logged to the console using
`$log.debug()`.

Partly fixes #13393.

BREAKING CHANGE:

Possible breaking change for users who updated their code to provide a `timeout`
promise for a `$resource` request in version 1.4.8.

Up to v1.4.7 (included), using a promise as a timeout in `$resource`, would silently
fail (i.e. have no effect).

In v1.4.8, using a promise as timeout would have the (buggy) behaviour described
in #12657 (comment)
(i.e. it will work as expected for the first time you resolve the promise and will
cancel all subsequent requests after that - one has to re-create the resource
class. This is feature was not documented.)

With this change, using a promise as timeout in 1.4.9 onwsards is not allowed.
It will log a warning and ignore the timeout value.

If you need support for cancellable `$resource` actions, you should upgrade to
version 1.5 or higher.

**Possible breaking change** for users who updated their code to provide a `timeout`
promise for a `$resource` request in version v1.4.8.
