hermes - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug] Weixin Gateway: Timeout context manager should be used inside a task [2 comments, 2 participants]

Weixin (微信) gateway fails to send messages with the following error: ERROR gateway.platforms.weixin: [Weixin] send failed to=o9cq80zn: Timeout context manager should be used inside a task 4. Error occurs immediately 2026-05-02 21:16:09,143 ERROR gateway.platforms.weixin: [Weixin] send failed to=o9cq80zn: Timeout context manager should be used inside a task The error message suggests that asyncio.timeout() or similar async context manager is being used in a synchronous context or outside of a proper async task. This is a common issue when mixing sync/async code incorrectly.

TL;DR

The most likely fix is to ensure that asyncio.timeout() or similar context managers are used within proper async functions in gateway/platforms/weixin.py.

Guidance

• Review gateway/platforms/weixin.py for incorrect usage of asyncio.timeout() or similar async context managers.
• Verify that all async functions using these context managers are properly awaited.
• Check for any mixing of synchronous and asynchronous code that could be causing the issue.
• Consider using a debugger or adding logging statements to identify the specific line of code causing the error.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue is more related to the usage of async context managers rather than a specific code block.

Notes

The issue seems to be specific to the Weixin platform, and other platforms like Telegram, Yuanbao, and Feishu are working correctly. This suggests that the problem is likely related to the implementation of the Weixin gateway rather than a general issue with the Hermes application.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Use other platforms (Telegram, Yuanbao, Feishu) for file/message delivery until the issue with the Weixin gateway is resolved. This is because the root cause of the issue is related to the incorrect usage of async context managers, which requires a code fix.
