Gracefully disconnect a WebSocket connection with Celluloid - ruby

Question

Situation
I connect to a WebSocket with Chrome's Remote Debugging Protocol, using a Rails application and a class that implements Celluloid, or more specifically, celluloid-websocket-client.
The problem is that I don't know how to disconnect the WebSocket cleanly.
When an error happens inside the actor, but the main program runs, Chrome somehow still makes the WebSocket unavailable, not allowing me to attach again.
Code Example
Here's the code, completely self-contained:
require 'celluloid/websocket/client'
class MeasurementConnection
include Celluloid
def initialize(url)
#ws_client = Celluloid::WebSocket::Client.new url, Celluloid::Actor.current
end
# When WebSocket is opened, register callbacks
def on_open
puts "Websocket connection opened"
# #ws_client.close to close it
end
# When raw WebSocket message is received
def on_message(msg)
puts "Received message: #{msg}"
end
# Send a raw WebSocket message
def send_chrome_message(msg)
#ws_client.text JSON.dump msg
end
# When WebSocket is closed
def on_close(code, reason)
puts "WebSocket connection closed: #{code.inspect}, #{reason.inspect}"
end
end
MeasurementConnection.new ARGV[0].strip.gsub("\"","")
while true
sleep
end
What I've tried
When I uncomment #ws_client.close, I get:
NoMethodError: undefined method `close' for #<Celluloid::CellProxy(Celluloid::WebSocket::Client::Connection:0x3f954f44edf4)
But I thought this was delegated? At least the .text method works too?
When I call terminate instead (to quit the Actor), the WebSocket is still opened in the background.
When I call terminate on the MeasurementConnection object that I create in the main code, it makes the Actor appear dead, but still does not free the connection.
How to reproduce
You can test this yourself by starting Chrome with --remote-debugging-port=9222 as command-line argument, then checking curl http://localhost:9222/json and using the webSocketDebuggerUrl from there, e.g.:
ruby chrome-test.rb $(curl http://localhost:9222/json 2>/dev/null | grep webSocket | cut -d ":" -f2-)
If no webSocketDebuggerUrl is available, then something is still connecting to it.
It used to work when I was using EventMachine similar to this example, but not with faye/websocket-client, but em-websocket-client instead. Here, upon stopping the EM loop (with EM.stop), the WebSocket would become available again.

Answer 1

I figured it out. I used the 0.0.1 version of the celluloid-websocket-client gem which did not delegate the close method.
Using 0.0.2 worked, and the code would look like this:
In MeasurementConnection:
def close
#ws_client.close
end
In the main code:
m = MeasurementConnection.new ARGV[0].strip.gsub("\"","")
m.close
while m.alive?
m.terminate
sleep(0.01)
end
