I have an websocket server up and running fine using FastAPI.
However, when i am using those "await", i am getting some latency issues. At first, i though this had something to do with internet connection, or perhaps my linux server. But it appears to be that asyncio waits for other tasks.
Here is my code:
import asyncio
from pydantic import BaseModel
class UserClientWebSocket(BaseModel):
id: str
ws: WebSocket
class Config:
arbitrary_types_allowed = True
class ConnectionManager:
def __init__(self):
self.active_user_client_connections: List[UserClientWebSocket] = []
self.collect_user_IDs = []
async def connect_the_user_client(self, websocket: WebSocket, THE_USER_ID):
await websocket.accept()
await self.send_message_to_absolutely_everybody(f"User: {THE_USER_ID} connected to server!")
print("User: {} ".format(THE_USER_ID) + " Connected")
if THE_USER_ID not in self.collect_user_IDs:
self.collect_user_IDs.append(THE_USER_ID)
else:
await self.send_message_to_absolutely_everybody(f"Somebody connected with the same ID as client: {THE_USER_ID}")
await self.send_message_to_absolutely_everybody("but Vlori is a nice and kind guy, so he wil not get kicked :)")
self.collect_user_IDs.append(THE_USER_ID)
self.active_user_client_connections.append(UserClientWebSocket(ws=websocket, id=THE_USER_ID))
await self.show_number_of_clients()
async def function_one_send_message_to_absolutely_everybody(self, message: str):
try:
await asyncio.sleep(2)
await asyncio.gather(*(conn.ws.send_text(message) for conn in self.active_webpage_client_connections))
await asyncio.gather(*(conn.ws.send_text(message) for conn in self.active_user_client_connections))
except:
print("waiting")
async def function_two_send_personal_message_to_user(self, message: str, websocket: WebSocket):
try:
await websocket.send_text(message)
except:
print("waiting for task..")
... ... ... ... ...
and further down is the channel in which client connects:
@app.websocket("/ws/testchannel")
async def websocket_endpoint(websocket: WebSocket):
await websocket.accept()
try:
while True:
data = await websocket.receive_text()
print_result = print("Received data: {} ".format(data))
send_data_back_to_user = await websocket.send_text(f"you sent message: {data}")
except WebSocketDisconnect as e:
print("client left chat, error = ", e)
The code as it stands now works perfectly, and the performance is good! However, if i add an async def function under the "send_data_back_to_user" line such as this:
await connection_manager.function_one_send_message_to_absolutely_everybody(data)
Then there is a huge latency! why is that?
I am playing around and tried this:
@app.websocket("/ws/testchannel")
async def websocket_endpoint(websocket: WebSocket):
await websocket.accept()
try:
while True:
data = await websocket.receive_text()
print_result = print("Received data: {} ".format(data))
send_data_back_to_user = await websocket.send_text(f"you sent message: {data}") # if i comment this line and the line underneath, and the speed is extremely fast!
the_asyncio_loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
print_data_on_terminal = asyncio.gather(print_result)
return_data_back_to_user = asyncio.gather(send_data_back_to_user)
broadcast_msg = asyncio.gather(connection_manager.function_one_send_message_to_absolutely_everybody(data))
run_all_loops_together = asyncio.gather(print_data_on_terminal, return_data_back_to_user, broadcast_msg)
results = the_asyncio_loop.run_until_complete(run_all_loops_together)
print(results)
except WebSocketDisconnect as e:
print("client left chat, error = ", e)
but gives me the error:
TypeError: An asyncio.Future, a coroutine or an awaitable is required
could someone help me with this?
thanks.
