Please give a more comprehensive answer. When I try setting wifimanager.setConnectTimeout(30), for example, it simple does not set the value. The debugging says that it is not set.

sorry you said comeout and I thought you wanted the other timeout to abort the loop.

hmm, that should be working for wifi timeout..

Is your esp getting stuck here for 60seconds? This is a new ESP bug we are looking into.
But connecttimeout should be working, what version you using ?

And is this on autoconnect or wifisave?

It looks like github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager@701d58fd07 introduced this, but this bug is old, but now the connection code is using NEW all the time as a workaround for esp32 wifiinit #1439

This is on autoconnect and it is getting stuck for 60 seconds before saying that the new WiFi connection failed (because of wrong password). I am using latest release(2.0.15-rc.1).

thanks, I already fixed it. But the esp lib has a bug also. Can you post logs I am working on fixing the ESP bug also

Sorry, Are you using 8266 or esp32? It should be fixed on both I think.

Any serial logs will be useful.

I need to know the esp logs during the 60seconds of retry, specifically the arduino wifi event error

ah you can add to your ini/env

build_flags = -DWM_DEBUG_LEVEL=4 -DDEBUG_ESP_CORE -DDEBUG_ESP_WIFI -DCORE_DEBUG_LEVEL=5

and add Serial.debugOutput(true); to code

oh so you dont have this issue with correct password ever? I guess this is the same issue, should be working for now

Sometimes it doesn’t connect with correct password, but it think it’s due to lower signal. What do you mean it should be working now?

I mean there is a workaround in wm for the bug, and the connecttimeout is also fixed

Yes, but I am downloading the library from the release page. I think you should make a new release if there are fixes in the git that are not in the latest public release. It would also be nice for updating the library on arduino board manager...

I still face this issue as of February 2024. I downloaded the latest release from Git. I am using ESP8266.
First I enter the correct password, and connect to the Wifi network successfully. Then I just switch off my WiFi router-modem and restart the ESP. When it is unable to connect to the AP, it goes into a blocking WiFi Manager portal, and never times out.

    WiFiManager wm;
    wm.setTimeout(120);   
    // I also tried:
    //wm.setConfigPortalTimeout(120);  
    bool result = wm.autoConnect("MYAP");
    if (!result) {
      Serial.println("Failed to connect to WiFi network");
    }

It never reaches the line if(!result)..
I see on the serial console

*wm:connectTimeout not set, ESP waitForConnectResult... 
*wm:AutoConnect: FAILED for  9229 ms
*wm:StartAP with SSID:  MYAP
*wm:AP IP address: 192.168.4.1
*wm:Starting Web Portal

@ramanraja commented on GitHub (Mar 2, 2024):

A follow up of the time out issue: I tried non-blocking mode, (appropriately making the wm object global and calling wm.process() in the main loop). There was a different issue this time:

    wm.setConfigPortalBlocking(false);
    wm.setConfigPortalTimeout(180);
    if(!wm.autoConnect("AutoConnectAP")){
       Serial.println("Could not connect to the network");
    } else {
      Serial.println("Connected.");
    }

The portal starts all right, but it does not wait for the 3 minute timeout.
Before I could connect to the AP, wm.autoConnect() returns immediately with a 'false' return value.

*wm:AutoConnect 
*wm:Connecting to SAVED AP: INTOF
*wm:connectTimeout not set, ESP waitForConnectResult... 
*wm:AutoConnect: FAILED for  9228 ms
*wm:StartAP with SSID:  AutoConnectAP
*wm:AP IP address: 192.168.4.1
*wm:Starting Web Portal 
Could not connect to the network.

This is a bug in esp library. Adding your own connecttimeout will override it. Can you get me debug logs? I have an open issue and they refuse its a real issue

I also have this same issue. AutoConnect gets stuck in a blocking mode if the wrong ap and password are entered.

@tablatronix how would you recommend adding my own setConnectTimeout? I'm not sure how to get past the fact that its blocking.

Thanks
