Kraken only receives one ticker update, then nothing afterwards

Exchange Kraken

Subscription type Ticker

Describe the bug Only one update is received, no subsequent updates occur even though the data is updating on the exchange.

To Reproduce

   const ccxws = require('ccxws');
    const client = new ccxws.kraken({
      reconnectIntervalMs: 15 * 60 * 1000
    });
    client.on('ticker', (ticker, market) => {
      console.log('ccxws TICKER update, market=', market, 'ticker=', ticker);
    });
 
    // give it a moment to load the symbols map internally
    await timeout(3000);
    const ccxwsMarket = { id: 'XXMRXXBT', base: 'XMR', quote: 'BTC' };
    client.subscribeTicker(ccxwsMarket);

Expected behavior A new ticker update event is received on every change of the data. Currently only the first ticker is received when I run the example above.

Additional context I added some logs to the ccxws kraken-client processMsg() method, and it appears to only be receiving heartbeat messages after the first initial ticker payload. This would imply that the exchange itself isn’t sending the data, but I find that hard to believe. Kraken API status page shows all systems functional.

@nudabagana the Kraken order book issue has been reported in the past and we thought it was addressed but there may have been a regressioon introduced with #155. I’ll create another issue to track the issue there as an immediate priority.

@evan-coygo if you’ve found a suitable workaround for the ticker issue, I’d like to close this issue and PR. I’m also happy to create a new feature issue to explore either a top of book event or wiring it into the ticker event for the exchanges where it is supported.

[evan-coygo]

yes I’ll go ahead and close it
