WebSocket connection failed / Undefined Node

[alemonteiro]

After update to 1.7 (installed .deb x64 from site) most extensions that required an node domain stopped working, returning "Max connection attempts reached" error. Including git, ftp and sql.

On the console, even with live preview and all extensions disabled I got tons of

WebSocket connection to 'ws://localhost:38443/' failed: Unexpected response code: 401

Also, both "Enable Node Debugger" and "Restart Node" say that can't call method of undefined.

Checked /etc/hosts and have "127.0.0.1 localhost" configured.

Tried to run with sudo and gksu for testing but then I can't even open the development tools or install extensions to test. But the node options also return undefined object.

I got those installed packages:

sudo apt list | grep "brackets\|nodejs"

brackets/now 1.7.0-16898 amd64 [installed,local]
nodejs/testing,now 4.3.1~dfsg-3 amd64 [installed]
nodejs-dbg/testing 4.3.1~dfsg-3 amd64
nodejs-dev/testing,now 4.3.1~dfsg-3 amd64 [installed,automatic]
nodejs-legacy/testing,testing 4.3.1~dfsg-3 all

I returned to 1.6 for now and the extensions are working properly.

I think this problem also caused my #12505.

I have the same issue:
WebSocket connection to ‘ws://localhost:34273/’ failed: Unexpected response code: 401

I don't see a socket open. I am assuming that I should see one:
netstat -ntlp | grep 34273

I also tried by the pid:
$ ps -ef | grep -i node
skp 9789 9764 0 18:21 pts/20 00:00:00 /opt/brackets/Brackets-node /opt/brackets/node-core
$ netstat -ntlp | grep 9977

I didn't try reverting back to 1.6, but I noticed the issue when I was trying to install version 1.7

There was an issue with 1.7 Linux 64 builds. It was to do with brackets unable to connect to Node. We have now fixed the problem and refreshed the builds. Could you guys download the Linux 1.7 builds again from brackets.io and check?

@nethip That worked great for me. I can now install all of the extensions that I was trying to, so I am good to go. Thank you very much.

@nethip It's solved! Thanks very much =)

@nethip It isn't working for me actually. I just downloaded the 1.7 64-bit.deb installer from brackets.io. I am using Ubuntu 16.04. I get the same error WebSocket connection to 'ws://localhost:46339/' failed: Unexpected response code: 401 thus when I try to install any extensions, Brackets freezes with this error Installation Failed" : "Unknown internal error.". If I open it with sudo, I can't even open the console. I also checked it with 1.6, same error. Am I not doing something correctly or does someone else still have the issue? Thanks in advance.

@f4z3k4s Since you are getting the issue on both 1.7 and 1.6, it leads me to think that this is a different issue, but I'm not sure.

I had initially installed on Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit from the WebUpd8 repository. To install the version from brackets.io, I had to install the libgcrypt11 from the WebUpd8 post, and then install the deb package. That fixed my problem, and I was able to install the extensions that I wanted. Then, a while after that, I noticed it doing the same thing again. My theory is that I had run updates and that it had reinstalled the version from the repo. After reinstalling the version from brackets.io the error went away again.

I don't know if any of that helps.

@f4z3k4s I agree with @digitaleagle . It could be a different issue.

Do you use any proxy or have a different mapping of localhost on your system? Also there could be another software like an AntiVirus program which may be blocking opening of local ports.

I managed to solve the problem with the help of @digitaleagle . Without having libgcrypt11 installed separately, you can't even install the deb. Why I could install it previously was because I first installed brackets from the WebUpd8 repo with apt-get, after I removed it, but not purged it, and libgcrypt was still available for the deb file which I downloaded from brackets.io.

The following I did to make it work:

1. I purged the previously installed brackets totally with
   sudo apt-get purge brackets
2. I also removed the ppa with
   sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:webupd8team/brackets
3. I installed libgcrypt this way:
   wget http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/cdimage/snapshot/Debian/pool/main/libg/libgcrypt11/libgcrypt11_1.5.3-5_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libgcrypt11_1.5.3-5_amd64.deb
4. And after this I was able to install brackets 1.7 from the deb file, and extensions are working.

Thanks for the help guys, keep up the good work.
Cheers!:)
