SendAsync was using InvokeCoreAsync code to send messages. In case of exception InvokeCoreAsync is blocking and returns a task to the user so they can await for the remote call to complete. Any exception thrown is caught and used to fail the task returned to the user. SendAsync does not return a special task to the user so re-using InvokeCore resulted in swallowing exceptions. While SendAsync is fire and forget it actually should throw if the message could not be send and it was not happening.
While adding tests it turned out we did not test cases where Invoke/SendAsync/StreamAsync were invoked before starting the connection and this resulted in a NullReferenceException. I also fixed that.
* Re-layer the .NET Client into Http and non-Http
- Moved IConnection to Sockets.Abstractions and removed
HttpConnection and TransportType dependency.
- Renamed Sockets.Client to Sockets.Client.Http
- Renamed Sockets.Common to Sockets.Common.Http
- Renamed Connection to HttpConnection
- Removed HTTP dependency from HubConnection
- Removed tests that were testing connection logic in HubConnection
#518
* Merge transport and hub protocols
- This change merges the transport and hub protocols into a single protocol. The
idea being that sockets in a purely streaming layer that sends frames from the underlying
transport. This makes things like TCP possible and doesn't impose a framing layer at the lowest
level. This will make it possible to build servers like kestrel on top of the TCP layer.
- The Message was removed from the lowest layer of the stack and pushed into the hubs layer. Hub invocations
are framed with what was before the transport protocol. Connections also need to state upfront if they support
binary or not. This will determine how data will be serialized to the specific connection.
- Changed the SSE parser and writer to be strictly SSE without any of the transport protocol specific
information.
- To ensure we aren't using types in the wrong layers
- Moved protocol logic into SignalR
- Socket.Abstractions is now the root of the universe, Sockets.Common will likely be removed
or turned into Sockets.Common.Http.
- Move SSE parser to Sockets.Client and SSE writer into Sockets.Http
- Moved tests into the appropriate test projects
- Updated the spec
* convert to new protocol
* removed InvocationDescriptorRegistry because we're not yet sure about custom protocols
* update SocialWeather sample
* Moving ts client to using new protocol
* make the functional tests a little easier to run on ctrl-f5
