[question] How should one reconnect?

[edmz]

My server is running behind a NAT that appears to be causing a disconnect after N minutes of inactivity.

I thought it might be trivial to just reconnect on websocket error, like so:

client.on :websocket_error do |err|
  client.connect_websocket
end

But this doesn't seem to work. As far as I can tell, if I reconnect, the old listeners are deleted, which is undesirable.

Is there a recommended strategy to reconnect? If not, can you point me in the direction on what to change to be able to reconnect while keeping the already defined callbacks?

Regards

I know this is late but for any future searcher you can try implementing a keepalive:

  EventMachine.add_periodic_timer(15) do
    ping = @client.get('/asterisk/ping')
    @client.emit(:pong, ping)
  end

  @client.on :pong do |e|
    puts e
  end

Looks like we could use an updated generation of this client as swagger should have generated an attr for this @client.asterisk.ping

There is no recommended reconnect strategy, it depends on specific use case and is up to the user to implement one. Callbacks for events like :stasis_start shouldn't get deleted. Closing for now, please feel free to reopen if this is still an issue providing a minimal working example to reproduce it.
