Heartbeat not honored?

[thundo]

Hi all!

I'm creating a channel with heartbeat enabled to a vanilla rabbitmq server. Connection/channel are good. Hearbeats are flowing (as you can see from the wireshark trace).

Later on, I physically disconnect the server machine's ethernet. My expectation is that after 2 heartbeats the connection will crash.

Instead, no heartbeats are exchanged anymore after that. The connection just hangs there indefinitely.

This is the code

import {AMQPClient} from '@cloudamqp/amqp-client';

const run = async () => {
    const amqp = new AMQPClient('amqp://test:test@mercurius?heartbeat=60');

    console.log(`Connecting to RabbitMQ ${amqp.host}:${amqp.port}, tls=${amqp.tls}, vhost=${amqp.vhost}, user=${amqp.username}...`);
    if (!amqp.heartbeat) {
        console.log('AMQPClient: heartbeat is disabled');
    } else {
        console.log(`AMQPClient: heartbeat set to ${amqp.heartbeat}`);
    }
    const conn = await amqp.connect();
    const channel = await conn.channel();
    console.log(`RabbitMQ channel ${channel.id} opened`);

    console.log(channel);
};

run();

Output

Wireshark trace

Am I under the wrong assumption that the connection should crash?
Thanks

Which version of amqp-client.js are you using?

I also have the same problem

The same behaviour occurs when the credentials of a user are changed while they have active connections. No errors, just a stale connection and nothing is resolved anymore. This includes on publishing as well as consuming messages.
