TImeout exception in sntp

[vrst37]

I am trying to use the SNTP module and it is giving me issues.

Here is the code (basically a copy paste of the code from the module's page):

var Sntp = require('sntp');

// All options are optional

var options = {
    host: 'nist1-sj.ustiming.org',  // Defaults to pool.ntp.org
    port: 123,                      // Defaults to 123 (NTP)
    resolveReference: true,         // Default to false (not resolving)
    timeout: 1000                   // Defaults to zero (no timeout)
};

// Request server time

Sntp.time(options, function (err, time) {

    if (err) {
        console.log('Failed: ' + err.message);
        process.exit(1);
    }

    console.log('Local clock is off by: ' + time.t + ' milliseconds');
    process.exit(0);
});

And here is the traceback exception I am getting:

(node:29454) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: Timeout

(node:29454) [DEP0018] DeprecationWarning: Unhandled promise rejections are deprecated. In the future, promise rejections that are not handled will terminate the Node.js process with a non-zero exit code.

I am using Ubuntu 16.04LTS and Node version is 8.10.0.

Am I doing something wrong? Or is there a bug in the module?

First, the examples were not up to date. They are now. Second, I have no idea why you are getting a timeout. Try a different time server.

I am still timing out with the host 'nist1-sj.ustiming.org'. It works perfectly with pool.ntp.org.

Perhaps it will be better to use pool.ntp.org in the example code so it works for copy paste noobs like me out of the box :)
Thanks for helping out
