With IAM authentication, I got "WebSocket connection error"

HiroOgata opened this issue 6 years ago · 12 comments

I got "WebSocket connection error" with IAM authentication (using resource group STT instance and "SPEECH_TO_TEXT_IAM_APIKEY=" in .env file).
Just I switch the STT instance to CF instance (with username and password), it worked fine (using "SPEECH_TO_TEXT_USERNAME=", "SPEECH_TO_TEXT_PASSWORD=" in .env file)

@HiroyoshiOgata The problem is in the speech-javascript-sdk and was fixed in this PR: https://github.com/watson-developer-cloud/speech-javascript-sdk/pull/69/files

We need to update this sample to use the newest version of the SDK and send the access_token rather than token

Fixed in #206

Hello, I'm having a similar issue. However I'm not using IAM authentication and I'm also getting the WebSocket error. Is Fixed #206 work for non-IAM authentication ?

You need to migrate your service to IAM.

Hi, I'm using IAM with the latest version of the SDK (3.16.1). I instantiate SpeechToTextV1 with my APIKey. It works for a while and then I get the WebSocket error. I have to assume it is when the token expires and the SDK doesn't automatically refresh it.

If the connection was established the token isn't needed anymore. I think this is a problem where the server had a problem and closed the connection.

For how long was the connection open?

Answer 7 · 2019-02-25T14:39:06.000Z

Probably an hour or more, but I'm not sure how long the connection is open. I'm just using the recognizeUsingWebSocket operation on the SpeechToTextV1 class. I process many files with the same instance of the class, but at some point, it starts failing. This problem has been happening for days now, so I doubt it is a server/service issue. I might need to move the initialization of the SpeechToTextV1 class down into my function that calls recognizeUsingWebSocket to re-establish the connection each time I process an audio file.

I keep getting the websocket error, but it looks like the implementation of this demo app was built using a previous version of the SDK. Any chance you can tell me what should I change to make it work correctly?

Hey @idjevm all you need to change it's probably in https://github.com/watson-developer-cloud/speech-to-text-nodejs/blob/master/app.js#L33

One of the things I have been reading is that IBM Documentation refers is that I should update from using RecognizeMicrophone to RecognizeWebSocket. This app is just not running locally, I keep getting the Websocket error...

Answer 11 · 2019-05-12T22:20:29.000Z

This app is using the old version of the SDK but it should work. Check that you are using the credentials as you are supposed to do. I'm 100% sure this is a problem in your code where you are not setting the URL or the apikey correctly

Hi, I'm getting the same websocket error - it allows me to play the recording for less than a second and then the error occurs. I downloaded the gitrepo tonight and it has the changes in you've described above.
