Ropsten Websocket Down?

[Plinpod]

Hello,

The last view days I have not been able to make a websocket connection to the ropsten testnet.

wss://ropsten.infura.io/ws

I am getting continuous "Connection dropped by remote peer" errors. It was working more or less fine about 2 days ago. Anyone else running into the same issue?

Thank

@Plinpod is this only for Websocket and only on ropsten?

[ec2]

Should be up and running. Are you still having issues?

[Plinpod]

@jamatulli Yep its only for the Websocket @tueric Just tested again same issues

[JeeChoi]

I just ran a couple tests on wss://ropsten.infura.io/ws. It seems to be running fine. Are you getting dropped when actively using the websocket connection or when it's idle?

[Plinpod]

@JeeChoi It seems to be almost immediately as soon as I make a connection.

@JeeChoi My Ropsten websocket wss://ropsten.infura.io/ws runs fine but appears to drop the connection when it goes idle for a period of time. Does Infura close connections after a period of time and any way to prevent this?

[JeeChoi]

@etherace You may be hitting the idle timeout on our load balancers. The timeout is already set to max (over 60 minutes). Hope this helps!

[sanaterrae]

@JeeChoi Okay that makes sense then. I may set up a system to 'ping' the websocket once every our to try and refute this! Thanks for your clarification.

I have the same problem in using web3js 1.0.0 beta 34 make a websocket connection 'wss://ropsten.infura.io/ws'

How to solve with a solution other?

import Web3 from "web3"; const provider = new Web3.providers.WebsocketProvider( "wss://ropsten.infura.io/ws" ); const web3Socket = new Web3(provider);

export default web3Socket;

@voratham that's a different issue, it's a bug in recent web3js releases. See: https://github.com/ethereum/web3.js/issues/1559

Has anyone successfully connected to ropsten's websocket? I have been trying but couldn't get connected. I am using web3.py

In [2]: from web3 import Web3

# I have also tried ``wss://ropsten.infura.io/ws``. Same result
In [3]: web3 = Web3(Web3.WebsocketProvider('wss://ropsten.infura.io/_ws'))

In [4]: new_transaction_filter = web3.eth.filter('pending')

# It hangs right here.

I was able to connect to rinkeby's and mainnet's but just not ropsten's. Could it be possible that the server ran out of the socket to connect with?

[ec2]

@FYJen It's working for me. Please use wss://ropsten.infura.io/ws What kinda of error are you getting?

[FYJen]

@tueric: I am still analyzing the stacktrace. Following is when I ctl+c of the hanging process.
