Issue updating site/feeds list

problem
1

There seems to be some issue with updating the sites list (sidebar).

Noticed it initially because I kept clicking sites and finding more items to read than the sidebar said there was.

Looking in web console it looks like this:

I appear to be getting the same issue here. Let me know if there’s any debugging information I can provide. I think it has been happening for a couple weeks.

There’s something wrong with the websocket/socket.io implementation and it’s causing everybody to reconnect every few seconds. That’s causing you to miss certain real-time notifications. I upgraded socket.io both on the backend and frontend but that didn’t resolve it and I don’t know why it’s restarting. I’m thinking about the causes but it’s likely there’s a user account that’s causing the stack to topple over. I need to add logging and see if I can suss out what’s causing the issue.

Figured it out and fixed it last night. Turns out upgrading HAProxy meant that it defaulted to new, lower timeouts for websockets, causing our socket.io connection to drop repeatedly after 60 seconds or so. I added in manual timeouts and all is working well again. Bonus is that I retooled the socket.io server so it now gives better diagnostic info.
