Failed to subscribe to new newBlockHeaders to confirm the transaction receipts.

[damarnez]

When I try to interact with my smart contracts and I wait the response with a promise or async , the conection web3 connected to the wallet walletlink throw this error:

I write a simple example, for test and appears the same error:
https://github.com/damarnez/walletlink_example

The line that we get the throw are :

await contracts.TestDani.methods.set(magicNumber).send({ from: address });

Is a simple transaction and wait the response from the chain. With others wallets works perfectly..

Feels like the problem is Infura doesn't allow newBlockHeaders by spec.https://infura.io/docs/#supported-json-rpc-methods

What can I do?

Infura : https://kovan.infura.io/v3/ ****
Web3 version : 1.2.1
WalletLink: 1.0.0

Same issue here. I have tried to use wss:// but did not work.
Infura: https://rinkeby.infura.io/v3/***
Web3 1.2.4
Walletlink 1.0.0
And is there any websocket provider such as walletLink.makeWebsocketProvider?

Same issue here (using the Kovan network of Infura) when trying to authorize a transaction.

I was checking the source and the problem is that the walletlink provider doesn't support websocket. One fast solution is to make this fix on your source.

const walletLink = new WalletLink({
  appName: 'Example Company',
  appLogoUrl: `https://static.example.com/favicons/favicon.ico`
});

const wallet = walletLink.makeWeb3Provider(
  `https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/YOUR_TOKEN_INFURA`,
  1
);

// FIX BUG: Walletlink bug with web3
wallet.on = null;

With this fix, we force the Provider to connect to the chain only with https.

This is fixed in 2.0.0
