Never connects when using reconnect method after forced close

[outaTiME]

Hi, I've been using you lib for a long time, but today I made some updates in my code to force close on websocket active instance, but when I try to reconnect I have no luck.

Looking the code the _closeCalled flag is still true, probably the reconnect method may set it to false.

https://github.com/pladaria/reconnecting-websocket/blob/master/reconnecting-websocket.ts#L360

I'm using this in react-native environment, basically my code close websocket instance when app goes to background and reconnects when app goes to foreground, so here is the piece of code (websocketConnect method called when app in foreground / first time, websocketDisconnect on background):

const ws = null;

export const websocketConnect = () => async (dispatch, getState) => {
  if (!ws) {
    ws = new ReconnectingWebSocket(Settings.WEBSOCKET_URL, [], {
      debug: __DEV__
    });
    // stubs
  } else {
    ws.reconnect();
  }
};

export const websocketDisconnect = () => async (dispatch, getState) => {
  if (ws) {
    ws.close();
  }
};

Thanks !!!

Hi,

Thanks for reporting. Fixed in 4.1.6

wooow, awesome @pladaria, now it works as expected thanks for your time, really appreciated 🎉

even you add a missing else statement to make disconnection when websocket is already connected.

Thanks once again !!!
