I have seen the same thing

Pinpointed it at MetaMask/mesh-testing#3 (comment)

I want to get some tests added to validate and maintain integrity, but I believe this issue was fixed by the connection cascading fix in libp2p/js-libp2p-secio#98. This was included in the js-ipfs 0.28.0 release.

[jacobheun]

My initial thought was wrong, I found the issue causing the crash.

libp2p/js-libp2p-secio#101 resolves this

Once that's merged and added to a release, I will make a PR here to bump the secio version.

[jacobheun]

This was accidentally closed. I'll have a PR shortly to update versioning to properly fix this.

I am still getting this issue while using ipfs-js 0.28.2 and am unable to be discoverable and have peers. Anyone else having this issue as well?

[kevinsimper]

@shessenauer Are you using webrtc or websocket as discovery? Webrtc is still resource heavy and bit new still compared to the more stable websocket.

[shessenauer]

@kevinsimper currently using websocket as discovery

[kevinsimper]

@shessenauer Then you need to post an example of what is not working :)
