Cannot send messages using `reconnecting-websocket` (works with vanilla `WebSocket`)

[MarcelRobitaille]

I am so lost. I cannot send messages using this library. Using the browser's WebSocket (as can be seen in the minimal example below), works fine. I am using a simple server configuration to echo all messages received using https://www.npmjs.com/package/ws.

const ws = new ReconnectingWebSocket(`ws://${location.hostname}:5000`)

ws.onopen = () => {
  ws.send('test')
}
// Gives 'test' in node.js console

const ws = new WebSocket(`ws://${location.hostname}:5000`)

ws.onopen = () => {
  ws.send('test')
}
// Nothing in node.js console

I have read through the code and I have no clue why this would be happening. You don't appear to be doing anything fancy with ws.send. Any suggestions?

I can't reproduce your problem:

Here you have a simple example of reconnecting-websocket sending a message to an echo WebSocket Server and printing the response:

Could you create a minimal repository where your issue is reproduced?

Thanks!

Interesting. I tried it again (just replaced WebSocket with ReconnectingWebSocket) and everything is working perfectly. Maybe it was fixed in an update? Anyway, thanks for the response and for the project. Great stuff!
