QWebSocket is not able to connect server

Bonnie

@SteMMo
When you said "exit of the program", did you exit manually? Or the program just ends?
If you exit manually, how about waiting for like 10 minutes before your exit?
If your project is simple, it might also help if you post more code.

Do you have access to the server? Does the server have anything to say?

SteMMo

@manordheim as I said in the previous message, I'm able to connect the server (it is my program running on the same machine) by a web page and websocket library via Javascript.
They communicate correctly.

@Bonnie I mean that I run the program, then I shut down the program by Alt-F4.
I start a 10-minutes test ...

@Bonnie
Right now the connection is hosted in the constructor of a global object.

IoBoard::IoBoard(QObject* parent) : QObject(parent)

    qDebug() << "Costruttore IoBoard";

    // -- websocket

    QObject::connect( &_ws, &QWebSocket::connected, this, &IoBoard::onConnected);

    QObject::connect( &_ws, &QWebSocket::destroyed, this, &IoBoard::onDestroyed);

    connect( &_ws, QOverload<QAbstractSocket::SocketError>::of(&QWebSocket::error),
        [=](QAbstractSocket::SocketError error){
            qDebug() << "[IoBoard] Errore: " << error;
        }
    );

    QUrl url ("ws://localhost:7681");
    // url.setHost("10.191.40.216");
    qDebug() << "[IoBoard] url: " << url.toString() << " - Scheme: " << url.scheme() << " - Host: " << url.host() << " - Port: " << url.port();
    qDebug() << "[IoBoard] state:" << _ws.state();
    _ws.open(url);
    qDebug() << "[IoBoard] state:" << _ws.state();
}

More than half an hour and nothing is notified.
I also press some buttons and return but websocket does not notify anything.

What's you Qt version?
Can you provide a minimal code example for others to test?

Hi @SteMMo,

Have you already tried the Echo Client Example and checked if that can connect to your server?

Btw, Qt 5.7.1 is quite old. Can you update to a newer version?

Regards

SteMMo

@aha_1980 Hi,
at the moment, no.
The boards on the field mount an old OS (Debian stretch); this repository provides version 5.7.1
Maybe in the future I'll be able to move on a new version (buster)

SteMMo

@aha_1980 I tried the sample and yes, it worked:

root@tinkerboard:/home/amtek/echoClient# ./echoclient -d 
WebSocket server: QUrl("ws://localhost:7681")
WebSocket connected
Message received: "Unk"

I don't understand: my code for IoBoard is basically started from the code of EchoClient class .. the code is included in a past message ..

SteMMo

Solved!

Comparing main.cpp file I found that the definition of IoBoard object was static and global (outside the main() function).
Now I defined the object inside the main() function and the connection is done.

Hi @SteMMo,

I'm glad you figured it out. So please mark this topic as SOLVED too.

Thanks!
