WebSocket Connection Failed on Replit
WebSocket connections fail with network errors or close immediately. Real-time features like chat or notifications don't work.
WebSocket configuration and deployment differences between local and Replit cause issues.
Error Messages You Might See
WebSocket connection to 'ws://...' failed
Could not upgrade to WebSocket
Error: Could not find message broker relay
Common Causes
- WebSocket endpoint not exposed or misconfigured
- CORS not allowing WebSocket upgrade requests
- Proxy/load balancer not forwarding WebSocket protocol
- Client using wrong WebSocket URL (ws instead of wss, or localhost)
- StompBroker not configured for Spring WebSocket
How to Fix It
For Spring WebSocket, use WebSocketConfigurer and registerStompEndpoints(). Enable CORS with allowed origins. Client should use 'wss://' (secure WebSocket) on Replit. Verify endpoint path matches client connection URL. Check browser console for actual error message and upgrade handshake details.
