Description
HubConnection
could get into a permanently broken state ifStopAsync
was called when the connection was already stopped in some cases. The fix is managing the state correctly soStopAsync
doesn't break the connection.Customer Impact
Bug was reported by a customer in #18028.
Customers can run into difficulties when trying to write a reliable service that can restart the hub connection correctly.
The most reliable workaround is to entirely recreate the
HubConnection
instead of reusing it. This can be difficult because of how customers' code is organized.Internal partner is also asking us to backport to fix issues they're seeing.
Regression?
Yes, new bug in 3.0+
Risk
Very low, simple fix with well understood problem and easily testable.
