No end_time for any captured request

[hashemian]

I had setup silk on my dev server and it was working as expected. But recently none of the requests shown there has any time information. They all look like this link.

I checked the silk_request table, and none of the queries have end_time column filled. Any idea how I can figure out what's going on?

Thanks a lot

I have the same issue when I enable SILK_PYTHON_PROFILER_BINARY; disabling the binary profiler fixes the timing issue (but obviously also disables binary profiling, which I need working)

[hashemian]

You are right. When I set the SILK_PYTHON_PROFILER_BINARY to False it works again, but not otherwise.

I think this is related to silk being unable to store the binary profile files. I normally put this in my settings.py to ensure that the .prof files can be correctly saved:

SILKY_PYTHON_PROFILER_BINARY = True
SILKY_PYTHON_PROFILER_RESULT_PATH = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, '.profiles')
with contextlib.suppress(OSError):
    os.makedirs(SILKY_PYTHON_PROFILER_RESULT_PATH)

It would be nice if silk warned you when unable to save the files, however perhaps you can try this to work around the issue?

You are right. The problem was that Silk could not access the path I had specified. Permission problem. It would be very helpful if somehow we could get a more helpful error message, like HTTP 500.

Thanks a lot.
