Django Channels + Elastic Beanstalk - django

Question

I've set up an Application load balancer that redirects /ws/ requests to port 5000 where I have Daphne running along with 4 workers (that reload via Supervisord). However, in the Chrome console I get the error
WebSocket connection to 'wss://api.example.com/ws/' failed: WebSocket is closed before the connection is established.
when attempting to connect to my WebSocket via simple JavaScript code (see Multichat for something quite close). Any ideas?
Routing.py
websocket_routing = [
# Called when WebSockets connect
route("websocket.connect", ws_connect),
# Called when WebSockets get sent a data frame
route("websocket.receive", ws_receive),
# Called when WebSockets disconnect
route("websocket.disconnect", ws_disconnect),
]
Settings.py
# Channel settings
CHANNEL_LAYERS = {
"default": {
"BACKEND": "asgi_redis.RedisChannelLayer",
"CONFIG": {
"hosts": ["redis://:xxxxx#xxxx-redis.xxxxx.1234.usxx.cache.amazonaws.com:6379/0"],
},
"ROUTING": "Project.routing.channel_routing",
},
}

JavaScript code that runs before failure
// Correctly decide between ws:// and wss://
var ws_scheme = window.location.protocol == "https:" ? "wss" : "ws";
var ws_path = ws_scheme + '://' + window.location.host + "/ws/";
console.log("Connecting to " + ws_path);
var socket = new ReconnectingWebSocket(ws_path);
Evidently, there is no relevant output in the daphne/worker logs which implies the connection is potentially not being correctly routed in the first place.

Answer 1

Everything was set up properly--'twas a permissions issue. Pay close attention to all relevant AWS security groups (both the load balancer and instances that are a member of the target group).
