Try µWebSockets support in the Meteor. Pure speed, no memory leaks

mrauhu · October 12, 2018, 4:41pm

@nwabdou85 what version of the Meteor you are using?

Can you provide the content of .meteor/packages and .meteor/versions files?

mrauhu · October 12, 2018, 4:52pm

Also, can you provide the link to repository with project code?

nwabdou85 · October 12, 2018, 5:14pm

@mrauhu, thank’s for relpy;

packages https://paste.ofcode.org/a3niKjZrUXyMxjsDAcbKpA
verions https://paste.ofcode.org/pbPdCKACMesU5VNbWMNVnp

I ve the respository locally , sorry;

mrauhu · October 12, 2018, 11:42pm

I don’t see the socket-stream-client@0.2.1 and stream-server-uws in .meteor/versions.

Did you followed the guide?

Can you create a small public repository only for reproduction of the error?

Without it I can’t help you.

Did anyone ever use this in production successfully? Notice a performance improvement? Working on Meteor 1.8 - 1.10?

mrauhu · March 30, 2020, 6:03pm

@evolross

I use it in production for Meteor 1.6.

Less CPU and memory usage.

You can try it using the guide.

I’m on Meteor 1.9.3. Following the guide at meteor add socket-stream-client@=0.2.1 I get

=> Errors while adding packages:             
                                              
While selecting package versions:
error: No version of socket-stream-client satisfies all constraints: @=0.2.1, @~0.2.2
Constraints on package "socket-stream-client":
* socket-stream-client@=0.2.1 <- top level
* socket-stream-client@~0.2.2 <- top level
* socket-stream-client@0.2.0 <- ddp-client 2.3.3 <- ddp 1.4.0

Also, in reading the guide I see this replaces sock.js with WebSockets. What happens in clients that don’t support WebSockets and then can’t access sock.js?

mrauhu · March 30, 2020, 11:48pm

@evolross

meteor add socket-stream-client@=0.2.1

In previous Meteor versions, this command pinned the package version of socket-stream-client, for using it with WebSocket only.

I rechecked on Meteor 1.10 and got the same error, but with different version @~0.2.3.

Also, I check the next step and found a conflict with the uws package that built for Node.js 8, and Meteor >= 1.9 that bundled with Node.js 12.

Until the conflict is fixed, the stream-server-uws package will not work with the Meteor version 1.9 and higher.

They won’t work.

https://caniuse.com/websockets

As March 2020 WebSockets global usage is 97.42%.

mrauhu · April 4, 2020, 7:46pm

@evolross I fixed the conflict, stream-server-uws now works with latest Meteor versions.

Also updated the pull request.

@mrauhu I wanted to try uwebsockets, unfortunately I get this error after starting Meteor. I use Meteor 1.10.1

Any ideas?

Thanks for reporting @hk86

First I’m thought it’s offtopic.

But after reproduction, I found misspell in my guide.

hk86 · April 11, 2020, 10:48am

This did not fix my issue. Event if I remove all the test code from client-tests.js the next error I get is:

W20200411-12:46:45.950(2)? (STDERR) TypeError: Package.describe is not a function
W20200411-12:46:45.951(2)? (STDERR)     at module (socket-stream-client/package.js:1:1)

Looks like some global dependencies are not known?

I reinstalled meteor choco install meteor
I resetted my app meteor reset
I cleared my node_modules folder and ran meteor npm install

mrauhu · April 11, 2020, 11:02am

@hk86 run in your project folder:

Remove ./socket-stream-client:

git submodule deinit socket-stream-client
git rm -f socket-stream-client

Add ./packages/socket-stream-client:

git submodule add https://github.com/mrauhu/socket-stream-client packages/socket-stream-client

Run your app:

meteor

hk86 · April 11, 2020, 11:29am

Now it works. Thank you!
