Ruby on Rails call to perl script timing out -

i'm writing ruby on rails application calling perl script using open3. however, when calling perl script app keeps raising timeout::error sooner want. code call script looks this:

  timeout::timeout(120){        @stdout, @stderr, @exit_code  = open3.capture3(@command)       [@exit_code.to_i, @stdout, @stderr]   } 

i realize calling potentially "long" running script (maybe 20-30 seconds tops) isn't ideal ruby on rails application, don't have of option.

i using unicorn concurrency , have unicorn timeout set 60s. despite 60second timeout in unicorn file , 120second timeout wrapped around open3 call, request keeps timing out @ around 18 seconds. know script finishing because see results on other side need app wait return of script.

is there other way can force rails app wait , not timeout?

thanks!

as can see in stack trace

you have rack middleware (rack-timeout) forces additional timeout on entire request. configure or remove middleware , should fine.
