Problem with y-websocket disconnecting and connecting every 30 seconds

iohnS · November 24, 2023, 5:37pm

I have made a post on stackoverflow to hopefully get some help. Please go in there and check for more details. I have the same problem as discussed in this issue: Disconnects and reconnects every 30 seconds · Issue #24 · yjs/y-websocket (github.com)

But it should be fixed in version 1.3.8. so not sure why I still have it. Have tried to revert to previous version with no luck.

Link to Stackoverflow post.
Thanks in advance.

I suspect it is because the WebsocketProvider disconnects if it has not received a message from the server for 30 seconds.

            }
            awareness.on('update', this._awarenessUpdateHandler)
            this._checkInterval = /** @type {any} */ (setInterval(() => {
              if (
                this.wsconnected &&
                messageReconnectTimeout <
                  time.getUnixTime() - this.wsLastMessageReceived
              ) {
                // no message received in a long time - not even your own awareness
                // updates (which are updated every 15 seconds)
                /** @type {WebSocket} */ (this.ws).close()
              }
            }, messageReconnectTimeout / 10))
            if (connect) {
              this.connect()
            }
          }
          
          
/**
           * @type {boolean}
           */

Thanks for the reply. I did not test this in time but it somehow worked by putting it in a syncedStore and useState.
