Server pushing client messages into a black hole

[davepuchyr]

Great project, @apteryxxyz!

I've played with both your simple and dynamic chat examples and they work perfectly. 🎉

I copied and pasted the code into my project and it almost works. My clients connect to the server and can send messages to the server. The server loops through the connected clients and sends the messages without error, but they are not received by the other clients.

The only difference between your examples and my project is that I have middleware handling i18n. I don't think that middleware would interfere with socket communication, but I'm new to next.js and its black magic seems to be sending my messages to a black hole. Any idea what's going wrong?

Middlewares have been the cause of issues in the pass, have you excluded the websocket route from the middleware config? Related issue: #27

Thanks for the quick reply.

Yes, I've excluded the websocket route from the middleware.

Interestingly (annoyingly), everything works with a production build!

I have some pretty heavy debugging to do, so I really need dev mode to work. I'm quite baffled how/why https://github.com/apteryxxyz/next-ws/blob/main/examples/chat-room/app/chat/simple/socket/route.ts#L27 seems to execute successfully but the message is not received. I guess my next step is to engage with WireShark, unless you have any other suggestions.
