Bluetoothctl connect timeout error

[ntanenho]

This is the error I am getting when I connect to my mobile phone using the connect method in this documentation: https://gist.github.com/egorf/66d88056a9d703928f93,

raise TIMEOUT(msg)

The connection is supposed to fail since my phone is connected to another device, however it should return "failed to connect" and move on to the next paired-device that I have in my loop which calls the connect method. Unfortunately I cannot show my code. What should I do in the connect method to bypass the exception and return false for failed to connect?

Unfortunately I cannot show my code.

That isn't going to help.

It's clearly a pexpect issue, all I do is a simple method call on the connect method in the Github repository using a mac address of a device that has bluetooth enabled. This is a fix that needs to be applied in that code not my own that only calls the method, so I don't really need to provide my code.

Doesn't that mean you'd be better posting your question on that github page?
