sails.js - the hook orm taking too long to load

Question

i am using two database adapters with sails.

one for mondoDB and second for mysql.whenever i run command "sails lift".once it gives an error

error: Error: The hook `orm` is taking too long to load.
Make sure it is triggering its `initialize()` callback, or else set       `sails.config.orm._hookTimeout to a higher value (currently 20000)

pm
ode_modulessailslibappprivateloadHooks.js:92:21)
at Timer.listOnTimeout [as ontimeout] (timers.js:110:15

when i rerun sails without changes it gives no error then.how can i avoid this error everytime.this is my 1st experience with sailsjs so any help will be apreciated....

Answer 1

I ran into this problem last night because of a slow internet connection between my laptop and the DB server. My solution was to create a new file in the config directory called orm.js (name doesn't really matter).

Then add the following code:

// config/orm.js
module.exports.orm = {
  _hookTimeout: 60000 // I used 60 seconds as my new timeout
};

I also found I had to change my pubsub timeout but that may not be necessary for you.

// config/pubsub.js
module.exports.pubsub = {
  _hookTimeout: 60000 // I used 60 seconds as my new timeout
};

Note: The other answer recommends changing the sails files inside the node_modules folder. This is almost always a bad idea because any npm update could revert your changes.
