How to test if connection is currently failing?

[spilliton]

Hello,

I'm needing to implement some logic to occur when our stomp client is unable to connect to our message server.

I was trying to use client.open?. This returned true just fine, but when I killed my message server to test the failure condition, it continued to report true, even though 'on_connectfail' log messages were being logged.

After checking out the socket method in connection.rb, It looks like I might be able to check @connection_attempts > 0 but was wondering if there is a better way, or if maybe I'm going about this all wrong...

Thanks!

Please show me your call to Client#new or Client#open.

Right now, I do not think you are doing anything wrong.......

Do you have a small example program that displays this behavior? If so, please post it here.

Thanks.

You are making the argument that the instance variable @closed should be set to true during retries for a failing connection, and then set to false again when a reconnect occurs.

I agree. Accepted. It is a one line code change, and will be in the next release.

That is it exactly. Thanks for jumping on this so quick!

I was gonna try and repro in a unit test on the gem, but had some other stuff come up this morning.

Thanks!
