Root Cause

WebSocket connection does not receive a message within the specified timeout period.

generic

中文

WebSocket连接在指定超时时间内未收到消息。

Workarounds

  1. 90% success 
    msg = await asyncio.wait_for(ws.receive(), timeout=10)
  2. 85% success 
    await ws.ping(); await asyncio.wait_for(ws.receive(), timeout=10)

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 60% fail

    May cause the application to hang indefinitely.

  2. 80% fail

    Blocks forever if no message arrives.
