Summary

After maxAttempts is exhausted, connect() used to rethrow without a catch, causing Uncaught (in promise).
Stop rethrowing and emit maxAttemptsFailed instead (onMaxAttemptsFailed / on maxAttemptsFailed).

Fixes #947

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Summary

When maxAttempts is reached, the WebSocket now emits maxAttemptsFailed instead of throwing an uncaught error.

You can handle this event with the onMaxAttemptsFailed callback. The change also adds tests for the callback, event, and unhandled rejection behavior.

Walkthrough

The websocket provider now reports exhausted connection retries through a maxAttemptsFailed event and an onMaxAttemptsFailed callback. It passes the connection error and avoids rethrowing it as an unhandled rejection.

Changes

Websocket retry exhaustion

Layer / File(s) Summary
Failure callback contract and wiring
packages/provider/src/types.ts, packages/provider/src/HocuspocusProviderWebsocket.ts
Adds the exported onMaxAttemptsFailedParameters type, the required callback configuration, its default implementation, and event listener registration.
Retry exhaustion handling and tests
packages/provider/src/HocuspocusProviderWebsocket.ts, tests/providerwebsocket/maxAttempts.ts
Emits maxAttemptsFailed with the connection error instead of rethrowing it. Tests verify the callback, event, and absence of an unhandled rejection.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 29d12

The PR replaces an unhandled rejection with a maxAttemptsFailed notification, but connection closures without an error may still omit that notification, leaving consumers without the expected terminal failure signal; the changed promise and cleanup ordering also require explicit owner awareness.

@lifeomic/attempt 3.1.0 retry implementation final callback rejection undefined error exhaustion source

💡 Result:

In @lifeomic/attempt 3.1.0, the issue of "final callback rejection undefined error" often relates to how errors or timeouts are handled during the final retry attempt [1][2][3]. 1. Library Behavior: When the maximum number of attempts is reached, the library throws the last error encountered [1][4]. If a timeout occurs, the library throws an error with the code ATTEMPT_TIMEOUT [1][2]. 2. Synchronous/Asynchronous Handling: Historically, issues were reported where synchronous errors thrown within custom handlers (like handleTimeout) could result in unhandled promise rejections or unexpected behavior [5]. These issues were largely addressed in versions prior to 3.1.0 (e.g., version 3.0.1 fixed synchronous errors in handleTimeout, and 3.0.3 addressed error handling issues with the timeout option) [6][7][5]. 3. Potential Cause: If you are seeing an undefined error at the final stage, ensure that: - Your handleError or handleTimeout functions are returning a Promise or handling errors internally if they are designed to suppress them [1][4]. If these functions finish without returning a value or throwing, the library might propagate the original error [1][4]. - If you are manually triggering rejections, verify the error object is correctly populated. An undefined error may occur if a custom handler resolves with undefined instead of throwing a specific error or re-throwing the original one [1][8]. For debugging, review your handleError and handleTimeout implementations to ensure they explicitly return a Promise (if asynchronous) and correctly manage the control flow, as these are the primary injection points for custom retry logic [1][4]. Users have also noted that documentation regarding whether throwing in these handlers automatically triggers an abort can be ambiguous, suggesting that explicit calls to context.abort are safer if you intend to stop retries immediately [9][10].

🌐 Web query:

site:github.com/lifeomic/attempt/blob @lifeomic/attempt 3.1.0 src/index.ts maxAttempts lastError reject undefined

💡 Result:

In the @lifeomic/attempt library, the retry function is designed to execute an operation multiple times until it either succeeds or the maximum number of attempts (defined by maxAttempts, which defaults to 3) is reached [1][2]. If the maximum number of attempts is exceeded, the retry function will reject the promise with the last error that was encountered [1][2]. If the error was caused by a timeout, the rejected error will contain a code property set to the string ATTEMPT_TIMEOUT [1][2]. Regarding your query about "lastError" and "reject undefined": 1. The library tracks the state of the operation internally. If all attempts fail, the final error thrown to the caller is indeed the last error recorded [1][2]. 2. While the documentation does not explicitly detail an "undefined" rejection scenario for the last error, if an operation resolves to undefined (or any other value) instead of rejecting, the retry logic treats this as a successful completion [1][2]. 3. If you encounter a situation where the library appears to reject with undefined, it is likely due to the implementation of the operation you are passing to retry, as the library itself is structured to propagate the error returned by the failed operation [1]. If you need to prevent further attempts based on a specific error, you should use the abort function available on the context object within the handleError callback [1][2]. This allows you to stop the retry process immediately if the error indicates that retrying would be futile [1][2].

Emit maxAttemptsFailed when a socket closes without an error.

When onClose() rejects the active connection promise without a reason, @lifeomic/attempt propagates undefined after finite retries are exhausted. The error && guard then skips the event. Use error?.code !== "ATTEMPT_ABORTED" and add a close-without-error test.
