websocket._exceptions.WebSocketConnectionClosedException: socket is already closed.

Hi, I open the chrome browser and try to do anything after connecting to the dev tools, but anything I try results in ‘socket is already closed’…

Any suggestions?? (I have tried all of those lines and all of them end up throwing the socket closed error… chrome = PyChromeDevTools.ChromeInterface() - seems to be working fine.

subprocess.call(['open', '-a', "/Applications/Google Chrome.app", '--args', '--remote-debugging-port=9222'])
chrome = PyChromeDevTools.ChromeInterface()
chrome.Network.enable()
# chrome.Page.enable()
# chrome.Page.navigate(url="https://www.google.com")
# chrome.wait_event("Page.loadEventFired", timeout=60000)```

@marty90 can you try and update so that websocket-client==0.55.0 which was release not too long ago to see if you can replicate the issue then?

I restricted the version to websocket-client==0.54.0 and the error others are getting above disappeared. @nba94 @mylh can youse force install that version of websocket-client to see if youse can still replicate the issue?

I had the same issue, whats happening is that when you create a new instance without specifying a timeout chrome = PyChromeDevTools.ChromeInterface(), the timeout for the socket defaults to 1 second here, so basically the timeout you’re passing into wait_event is useless b/c message = self.ws.recv() times out within 1 second and raises an exception. To get around this specify a timeout when creating the ChromeInterface instance e.g. chrome = PyChromeDevTools.ChromeInterface(timeout=120), but now the timeout you pass into wait_event is only effective if its less than the socket timeout and there’s data coming in through the socket or else it will wait till the socket times out.

So the timeout in wait_event essentially means wait for the passed in event to show up in incoming messages until we hit the timeout, if no data is coming in the socket will timeout within a second, unless specified when you initialize ChromeInterface.
