Place query hangs indefinitely on certain place_id about google-maps-services-js HOT 5 CLOSED

I tried a couple of them and they all return a value for the "err" arg in the callback function, showing they're invalid place IDs.

Can you try using the latest commit on GitHub?

from google-maps-services-js.

1. That works.
2. Thank you for the code!
3. It failed for me with 0.3.1

I should have included that I was trying to catch the error

googleMapsClient.place(query, (err, res) => {
    if (err) {
        console.error(err);
        done(err);
    } else {
        console.log(util.inspect(res.json.result, { depth: null }));
        // stuff
    }
});

but the script was not returning -- anything :)

this worked:

"@google/maps": "git+https://github.com/googlemaps/google-maps-services-js.git",

from google-maps-services-js.

Cool, we should have a new release out soon.

I am sorry to reopen this, I must be doing something wrong, because I am having the same problem today -- with the script not returning.

After I re-installed with npm with

"dependencies": {
    "@google/maps": "git+https://github.com/googlemaps/google-maps-services-js.git", 

I did see an error with "status", and changed my err test to

if (err) {
    if (res.json.status === 'NOT_FOUND') {
        console.log('skip not found');
        done();
    } else {
        console.error(err);
        done(err);
    }
} else {

and believe I process several place_id, but I am not sure how many.

Now if I try the problem examples, this one for instance,

'EjJNYWdocmViLCA1NSBBZGFyLCBrc2FyIGhhcnQgZWwgbW9yYWJpdGluZSwgTW9yb2Njbw'

they hang. I tried reinstalling the package with npm again. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

+1 I am getting the same thing on certain IDs. Request just hangs indefinitely until (I think) the browser is timing out the request at 5 minutes. No matter the timeout settings etc. I use in the place request params it just hangs. For example a placeid of "foo" just hangs instead of sending back what I get when I do a request directly in browser which is "INVALID_REQUEST"
