Routing Table/ Connection Timed out error about neo4j-javascript-driver

[bigmontz]

@lalitkumar-pal-drishya, could you share information about your environment (JS Runtime, Driver version, Neo4j Version, etc) and share some logs? This error is quite general and it can be generated by a bunch of different situations. So, you will need to look through the logs or through the error cause (which are available since Neo4j Driver version 5.0.0 and Node version 16.9.0).

Alternatively, you can swap you protocol from neo4j to bolt(or neo4j+s to bolt+s, if encrypted) for getting a more detailed message.

logs

I'm getting this error when setting maxConnectionPoolSIze as 1:

Connection acquisition timed out in 60000 ms. Pool status: Active conn count = 1, Idle conn count = 0.

And if I'm setting the maxConnectionPoolSIze greater than 1, we are getting this error:

For enabling the logs in driver, you must:

const driver = neo4j.driver(theconnectionstring, theauth, {
   ...theOtherConfigs,
   logging: neo4j.logging.console('debug')
})

I recommend you update the driver to 5.14.0. The version 4.0.x of the driver is not homologated to work with the database 5. If you have to use the version 4.x of the driver because of compatibility issues with existing codebase, you might use the version 4.4.11.

Hey @lalitkumar-pal-drishya, did you update the driver? Did it solve the issue?
