Getting an asyncio.exceptions.CancelledError when trying to connect to the BBS

[Erethon]

When trying to connect to the BBS mentioned in markqvist/Reticulum#231 I'm getting an asyncio.exceptions.CancelledError error. Platform is Debian 11, Python 3.9.2 and latest RNS (0.4.9). I'm connected to both public nodes of the testnet.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I haven't looked at the source code yet, but I'm happy to answer any questions until then if it helps debugging this.

Seeing as I have issues establishing a link via NomadNet as well, I wonder if just the service is down currently.

[acehoss]

Hey, thanks for trying it out! It looks like the service was hung up so I restarted it and I am able to connect now. It may be related to the fact that I left an idle session to the BBS over rnsh open for a couple hours. The software may not be quite ready for that.

Also for informational purposes I'll mention that the BBS is not running on the same machine as my node; it's running on a small virtual machine in the cloud. It runs i2pd as well as TCP connections to Dublin and Frankfurt.

Works fine now! Closing this.

[acehoss]

Awesome! I think it's good info, though. I doubt that hang up will be the last, and somehow I'll have to figure out what's going on there.

For the record, everything seems to work fine. I was able to play a minesweeper game, start registering a new user (and gave up midway), see connected users, etc, all the BBS features function correctly! This looks amazing, nice work!
