I have a websocket server running on the backend using the ws nodejs library. I'm getting this error whenever I am trying to connect to it from the client side.

events.js:377
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

Here's the code running on the server:

import { createServer } from "http"                                   
import { WebSocketServer } from "ws"                                  

const server = createServer()                                         
const wss = new WebSocketServer({ server })                           
                                                  
                                                                      
server.listen("8080", () => {                                         
    console.log("Server listening on port 8080")                      
})                                                                    
                                                                      
wss.on("connection", (ws, req) => {                                   
    ws.on("open", () => console.log("connection open"))               
    ws.on("close", () => console.log("connection closed"))

Client side code (Next.js)

const ws = new WebSocket("wss://localhost:8080/")                       
                                                                        
const Page = () => {                                                   
                                                                        
    useEffect(() => {                                                   
        ws.onopen = () => {                                             
            console.log("connection open")                              
        }                                                               
    })                                                                  
                                                                       
    return (                                                            
        <div>                                                           
        </div>                                                          
    )                                                                   
}                                                                       
export default Page

I should also mention that I had to update npm and node versions while building this. Is that causing a problem? How do I resolve this issue?

Solution 1:[1]

I looked back again. It works if I connect to ws://localhost:808

Solution 2:[2]

Your localhost URL works with http only unless you get a TLS certificate signed by an CA (certificate authority) that endorse your localhost connection. If you haven't done that wss won't work with http://localhost:{port} since:

  • wss connects on https only
  • ws connects on http

and vice-versa:

  • https accepts wss only
  • http accepts ws only
