Compose: log_timeout_error() TypeError

[Nokel81]

WIth docker (for mac) running I do "docker-compose up" and I receive this traceback.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 3, in <module>
  File "compose/cli/main.py", line 61, in main
  File "compose/cli/main.py", line 113, in perform_command
  File "contextlib.py", line 35, in __exit__
  File "compose/cli/errors.py", line 56, in handle_connection_errors
TypeError: log_timeout_error() takes exactly 1 argument (0 given)
docker-compose returned -1

This has been reported in #3783 and fixed in #3784. It seems your docker-compose up command is timing out for some reason. Do you see anything happen before it, or does it just print stacktrace?

[Nokel81]

No nothing before, I run the command and then this prints out

[shin-]

That means docker-compose isn't able to connect to your host for some reason. I assume docker info works fine? What about docker-compose ps for example? Does this happen with all compose files or just one? Do you have a custom $DOCKER_HOST set?

I've got this one too with Docker for Mac.

Answers to previous questions

_Do you see anything happen before it, or does it just print stacktrace?_

No, just stacktrace:

$ docker-compose up
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 3, in <module>
  File "compose/cli/main.py", line 61, in main
  File "compose/cli/main.py", line 113, in perform_command
  File "contextlib.py", line 35, in __exit__
  File "compose/cli/errors.py", line 56, in handle_connection_errors
TypeError: log_timeout_error() takes exactly 1 argument (0 given)
docker-compose returned -1

_I assume docker info works fine? What about docker-compose ps for example?_

I've tried docker-compose ps and docker info, but both hang, so I've eventually aborted them (with ctrl+c).

_Does this happen with all compose files or just one?_

Happens with all compose files, not just one

_Do you have a custom $DOCKER_HOST set?_

No custom $DOCKER_HOST has been set.

When it happens

It mainly happens when running a docker-compose container and then putting the computer to sleep (or closing the macbook lid). But it also happens randomly even without putting the machine to sleep.

What helps

Restarting Docker for Mac doesn't help, only full reboot (which probably means that some service/daemon requires restart that I don't know).

Docker versions

I'm running the latest stable version. Here's various related app versions:

$ docker --version
Docker version 1.12.0, build 8eab29e

$ docker-compose --version
docker-compose version 1.8.0, build f3628c7

$ docker-machine --version
docker-machine version 0.8.0, build b85aac1

Hi @aripalo , thanks for the detailed report. Seeing as docker info seems to hang as well, I would say this is an issue with Docker For Mac. probably https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/268 . Do you mind commenting there? The team in charge of that project will be better suited to help.

[aripalo]

@shin- Ah true! Thanks for pointing out! I'll leave a comment there as well.

I'm not that familiar with the whole Docker ecosystem so I can't really say for sure (which is probably obvious), but… I'd say this is 50%/50% compose& for-mac issue 🙂

The _cause_ itself seems to be for-mac issue, but the _effect_ is still compose issue: I'd argue there is improvement to be done on handling the "for-mac hangs" situation.

To me TypeError: log_timeout_error() takes exactly 1 argument (0 given) tells that there is some kind of timeout functionality built into docker-compose, but that seems to be buggy and not working as intended.

… but the main issue of course is that for-mac issue and I'll continue about it on https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/268.

Shoutout to all you Docker org members: I've been using Docker on AWS Elastic Beanstalk for few months and now replacing local Vagrant + VirtualBox based development environments with for-mac & docker-compose, which is easy to get going on with and for the most part works great! 👍 I'm really pleased with the whole Docker ecosystem! 👌

@aripalo awesome to hear you've had a good experience overall, thanks for the kudos :cat:

Yeah, as far as the stacktrace is concerned, we already have a fix in master for it. See my comment above. It will be in our 1.8.1 release!

[aripalo]

Also anyone having that "Docker hangs" issue with for-mac should point themselves to https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/119

But just in case someone ends up reading this thread:

A temporary “solution” (until an actual fix comes along) is to run sudo pkill docker and then restart the Docker for Mac app.
