Windows Error: DNS query for google.com failed: too many retries

The code used is (using v0.4.3):

<?php
// dns.php
error_reporting(PHP_INT_MAX);

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

$loop = \React\EventLoop\Factory::create();
$factory = new \React\Dns\Resolver\Factory();
$dns = $factory->create('8.8.8.8', $loop);

$dns->resolve($argv[1])
    ->then(
        function ($ip) { echo "Host: $ip\n"; },
        function ($e) { echo "Error: {$e->getMessage()}\n"; }
);

$loop->run();

The command:

php dns.php google.com

The error:

Error: DNS query for google.com failed: too many retries

Is there any way I can debug this further to find out what's causing this? The same code on my linux box works just fine...

Thanks for reporting!

What Windows version are you using?
Does the test suite yield any errors?

Perhaps you can try patching the Executor class and raise the timeout value and/or patch the RetryExecutor and patch the number of retries?

@clue

Seeing the same error on my windows 10 gaming desktop. One test fails:

There was 1 failure:

1) React\Tests\Dns\FunctionalTest::testResolveGoogleResolves
Expectation failed for method name is equal to <string:__invoke> when invoked 1 time(s).
Method was expected to be called 1 times, actually called 0 times.

I'll make a PR with AppVeyor configuration, @clue or @cboden could you setup AppVeyor for this repository?

Windows 10 + updates (not sure the exact build anymore, it changes without me knowing these days) ... I'll run the test suites when I get back... I'm sure it's probably related to php configuration on windows... One thing I did try already was increasing the timeout and retries, with same result

@WyriHaximus

Confirming that running the testsuite on windows gives the error quoted by @WyriHaximus.

Windows 10 users of a library I develop are also experiencing this problem, I haven't been able to test as I don't have a Windows 10 machine.

I have the same issue on windows server 2008 R2, but that is w7 basically, not w10. Any solution?

Anyone found a temporary way of bypassing this bug?

Anyone found a temporary way of bypassing this bug?

Will try and look into it tonight when I don't forget. Something you could try in the mean time is using your local DNS server (most likely your router) instead of the Google's DNS server (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) or try a different open DNS service like OpenDNS (208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220)

@WyriHaximus

@WyriHaximus Already tried workarounds like that. Doesn't help. It seems to be a problem only on windows though. Setting in system DNS servers, hardcoding DNS servers or even manually inserting the resolved IP in the hosts file does not help the problem.

@kassmed

@kassmed Bonkers does UDP work at all on windows? You could use https://github.com/reactphp/datagram/tree/master/examples to test that

@WyriHaximus

@WyriHaximus Seems to work fine on localhost, but externally i get the same error. Here is a picture of both runs:

@kassmed

@kassmed don't let datagram do the DNS look up, provide it an IP instead of a hostname to work around that

@WyriHaximus

@WyriHaximus Well now i can make my websocket connect, but now i just have the problem that the CN does not match the certificate when using wss, so the connection handshake fails.

@WyriHaximus

@WyriHaximus I managed to make a REALLY dodgy bypass. In react\socket-client\src\SecureConnector.php i found the line:
'peer_name' => $host

Here i just hardcoded the hostname of what i wanted to connect to, but let the socket connect to the IP directly without DNS lookup.

@WyriHaximus

@WyriHaximus Well, that fix turned out to not work 100% for me, but it might help someone else.

No idea if this helps at all.

Does the request look like its formatted correctly in my pastebin ?

This appears to be a problem with how PHP handles UDP streams when stream_get_contents is called with a maxlength set, specifically on windows systems. I submitted a php bug report about this here: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74090

A fix is to change public $bufferSize = 65536 to $bufferSize = null in react/stream/src/Stream.php

@micksam7

Thanks for digging into this @micksam7! 👍

Does anybody feel like filing a PR to fix this for this component in the meantime?

Also, this should ultimately be fixed via #12 instead.

Testing buffersize fix on a windows machine now.

EDIT:

This works fine, I'll try and get a PR done when I'm awake for you if its not happened all ready.

PR made reactphp/stream#65

@micksam7

@micksam7 Thank you! Been struggling to figure that out, I guess I just assume PHP works flawlessly :/
@Jimmy062006 Thanks for the fix also!

Note: Issue also affects Windows Server 2012 R2.

Closed via #53

I'm having the very same problem on my phone.Operating system is Android 7.0

@ScorpioKC

@ScorpioKC We're not aware of any issues currently. Can you give some instructions on how to reproduce the problem you're seeing? Also, output of php -v and composer info would help 👍
