ERPNext Create New user "request timed out"

[Yogesh_Sharma]

Hi

ERPNext: v11.1.4 (master)
Frappe Framework: v11.1.4 (master)

Before V11 I was able to create new user but with V11 I am getting request timeout. Other things are working properly, I am able to create employee, expenses, timesheet, journal entries, purchase , sales invoices etc.

Any clues ?

Thanks

while creating new user, make sure you unchecked the “Send Email” check box. if email is not configured and box checked, you can have these timeout msgs.

I had Send Email unchecked.

Also I do not have email feature enabled

Disable Email Feature

You may add the following entry to your site_config.json: "mute_emails": true

Setup → Email Domain has no records
Setup → Email Accounts has no records

I guess my issue is related to email, any possibility to bypass outgoing emails completely ?

Ended up setting new instance, followed by backup from old and restore on to new.

Really?!? That is kind of scary. That means something didn’t work right in the upgrade process without an indication of error. That does not make one very comfortable trying to upgrade to new version.

Agree, do you have any tips ?

“request timed out”

Inspect the logs for details of this message and post what you find for clues

Not really any tips, but maybe a partial explanation about how you may have encountered this. While not an install, the upgrade process is susceptible to the same issues. See here:

A general comment on versions, design and architecture changes

^ Exactly this. The technical term is Nondeterministic. For the same inputs (ERPNext Version/Build), we are getting different results. For a production/live environment, you never want this to happen. To avoid this, you must ensure that your environment conditions are 100% repeatable. Never install/clone software using “latest” or “stable”. Use precise version numbers. For example: Assume that @BKM and myself have exact copies of ERPNext v10 + Database. He installs his today, February…

I agree with @clarkej. First, you need to learn why the timeout happened. We are assuming email, but without evidence. Definitely should check all the logs. Both ERPNext logs, and O/S logs.

However, what @adnan said concerns me. Is it true that if email is not configured, but “Send Email” is marked, that you receive timeouts? I want to try to duplicate this. The function to send emails should be asynchronous. It should never cause a timeouts. If that’s happening, it’s a bug, and should be logged on GitHub.

Nothing in OS or Application but within webbrowser I noticed this :
