A query sent to zero relays only ended when its timeout fired. With no relay to answer, nothing closed the network stream: no EOSE, no CLOSED, no send failure. This happens whenever bootstrapRelays is empty and no explicitRelays are given, including when a malformed URL is silently dropped by cleanRelayUrl.

Worth a look: two tests in query_timeout_test.dart used bootstrapRelays: ["invalid"], an URL cleanRelayUrl drops, so they were timing out on zero relays and pinned this very bug. They now point at a MockRelay that accepts the REQ and never answers (new ignoreRequests flag).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Requests with no available relays now finish promptly with an empty result instead of waiting for the full query timeout.
    • Relay discovery and connection handling now complete before requests are evaluated, improving reliability when using dynamic relay selection.
    • Requests are no longer dispatched when no relays are available.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for no-relay queries and nonresponsive relays to verify timeout behavior and prompt completion.

A request dispatched to zero relays had nothing to answer it, so nothing
closed its network stream and it only ended when the query timeout fired.
With the default timeout that is a query hanging for seconds on an empty
relay list.

RequestState.closeIfNoRelays() mirrors BroadcastState.closeIfNoRelays():
no relay request registered means no answer is coming, so the network
stream closes right away.

RELAY_SETS calls it after dispatching, where relay entries are added
synchronously. JIT registers its relays asynchronously, so its strategies
are now awaited before the check, which is why the specific and pubkey
strategies return futures and the pubkey strategy waits on the connection
attempts it used to fire and forget.
The two tests asserting that a query times out were configured with
bootstrapRelays: ["invalid"]. cleanRelayUrl drops any URL without a ws or
wss scheme, so the list was silently emptied: they timed out because the
request reached no relay at all, which is the behaviour just fixed, not
because a relay failed to answer.

They now point at a MockRelay that accepts the connection and the REQ but
never answers it, the one case where expiring is the correct outcome.
These carry the only assertions in the suite that a timeout does fire, and
the only check that NdkConfig.defaultQueryTimeout is honoured, so they are
kept rather than dropped.

MockRelay gains the ignoreRequests flag for that.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change closes requests that have no relay assignments and waits for asynchronous JIT relay discovery before making that decision. It adds fast no-relay tests and a silent-relay fixture for timeout tests.

Changes

Request completion

Layer / File(s) Summary
No-relay closure contract
packages/ndk/lib/domain_layer/entities/request_state.dart, packages/ndk/lib/domain_layer/usecases/relay_sets_engine.dart, packages/ndk/test/timeouts/no_relay_timeout_test.dart
RequestState.closeIfNoRelays() closes an open controller with no relay requests. Relay-set engines call it before dispatch. Tests verify fast empty results for both engines.
Asynchronous JIT relay assignment
packages/ndk/lib/domain_layer/usecases/jit_engine/...
JIT strategies return futures and await relay connections. JitEngine waits for all strategies before closing requests with no relays.
Relay timeout validation
packages/ndk/test/mocks/mock_relay.dart, packages/ndk/test/timeouts/query_timeout_test.dart
MockRelay can ignore requests without sending events or EOSE. Timeout tests use this relay to exercise timeout behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1c175

Concurrent explicit-relay queries can return empty before a shared relay connection becomes usable. Resolve this request-registration race before merging.

Wait for an existing explicit-relay connection before closing the request.

When isRelayConnecting(sRelay) is true, RelayJitRequestSpecificStrategy.handleRequest skips connectRelay, leaves the request unregistered, and completes without awaiting the in-flight connection. JitEngine then calls closeIfNoRelays() while requestState.requests is empty, so the request can close before the relay becomes usable. Await the existing connection attempt, then register and send this request after it connects.

unsure about the await in jit engine.
Before it was required to not await for multiple filters, since we deprecated multiple filters its fine now
