I am running with: ruby 2.7.0p0 (2019-12-25 revision 647ee6f091) [x86_64-linux-gnu] on Linux Mint 20.3
I have the following code snippet, but here is what I would expect: I would expect that after say 250 ms, that if there was no input then an error would be produced. EIO? but if a character came then the loop would continue. What is actually happening is nothing, it just hangs:
bytes = []
begin
sp.read_timeout = 250
puts "read timeout is set to: #{sp.read_timeout}\n"
while 1
bytes << sp.getc
print bytes.last
if bytes.last == 0xFD
break
end
end
rescue => e
unless e.class == Errno::EIO
puts error.inspect
end
end
puts "\n\nreceived: #{bytes.join('')}"

I am also having this problem. Were you able to solve this?

No. And I haven't seen anything that says they even acknowledge there's a problem.--Sent from my Android phone with GMX Mail. Please excuse my brevity.On 10/24/22, 6:01 PM Sumit Birla ***@***.***> wrote:
