Closes #1168

closeConnections() only walked this.documents, so it never reached a socket that was still in onConnect/onAuthenticate or waiting for its document to load. Server.destroy() also checked getDocumentsCount() === 0 before closing anything. With a load in flight it therefore resolved straight away, and the document then loaded after onDestroy with a live client.

Changes:

  • Hocuspocus now tracks its ClientConnections. They are added in handleConnection and removed when the socket closes or is terminated, through a new ClientConnection.onSocketClosed().
  • closeConnections() without a document name now also force-closes (with ResetConnection) every socket that still has a pending document (hasPendingDocuments()). If that socket's load finishes later, setUpNewConnection sees the closed socket and closes the new Connection again, which goes through the usual unload path. Sockets whose documents are all established still get the existing per-document close.
  • Server.destroy() closes the connections and flushes stores first, then waits for loadingDocuments to settle before it checks the document count. A late load gets unloaded and resolves through afterUnloadDocument as before.

I left closeConnections(documentName) as it is. Its only internal caller is the onLoadDocument failure path, and there the waiting clients already get permission-denied through the rejected createDocument.

Tests

  • tests/server/closeConnections.ts: new test checking that closeConnections() disconnects a client whose document is still loading, and that the load does not attach it afterwards. On main it hangs (the client is never disconnected).
  • tests/server/destroy.ts: new test checking that destroy() waits for the in-flight load and that the order of events is loaded, unloaded, destroyed. It fails on main.
  • pnpm ava tests/server/ tests/provider/ tests/providerwebsocket/: every test passed except one run where openDirectConnection › does not unload document if an earlierly started onStoreDocument is still running failed. I re-ran that file 3 times on this branch and it passed each time, so it looks timing-sensitive. I did not finish a full comparison run on main.
  • biome lint on the changed files: no findings in the added lines (the existing warnings are unchanged). I did not run the redis extension tests because I had no Redis server.

AI disclosure: this change was drafted with help from an AI coding assistant; I ran the tests listed above.

📝 Summary

Summary

  • Track each client socket until it closes. When closeConnections() is called without a document name, it also closes sockets that are still connecting or waiting for a document to load.
  • Make destroy() wait for in-flight document loads before it checks for remaining documents.
  • Add tests for closing a socket during a document load and for waiting for a load to finish during server shutdown.

Walkthrough

The server now tracks client connections before they attach to documents. It can close pending clients and wait for in-progress document loads during destruction. Tests cover both behaviors.

Changes

Pending connection shutdown

Layer / File(s) Summary
Track and close pending clients
packages/server/src/ClientConnection.ts, packages/server/src/Hocuspocus.ts, tests/server/closeConnections.ts
ClientConnection supports socket-close callbacks, pending-document detection, and forced termination. Hocuspocus tracks connections and closes pending clients when closeConnections() is called without a document name. A test checks that a client disconnects while its document is loading.
Wait for document loads during destruction
packages/server/src/Server.ts, tests/server/destroy.ts
Server.runDestroy waits for current document loads to settle before checking the document count. A test verifies that loading completes before document unload and server destruction.

Shutdown handling is improved, but two gaps remain. A client that has opened a socket without requesting a document can stay connected after a server-wide close. A direct document load that is still in progress when destroy() starts can leave the server waiting indefinitely. Resolve or explicitly accept both before merging.

Explanation

Issue [#1168] requires closeConnections() to reach pending clients, including clients waiting for a document load. The new tracking and no-name path satisfy the reported no-name case. However, Hocuspocus.closeConnections(documentName) still returns before it checks clientConnections. The loadDocument failure path calls this named form while the document is still loading, so the method still does not close the pending socket in that case.

Resolution

Update the pending-client handling so a named call closes the pending clients queued for that document, or otherwise make the named failure path close them through the same tracked connection logic. Add a regression test for the named call during an in-flight load.

Close tracked sockets that have not requested a document.

If a WebSocket opens but sends no document message, hookPayloads is empty and hasPendingDocuments() returns false. closeConnections() leaves that socket open, and the client can request a document after the close call. Close tracked sockets without established connections too, while preserving the named-document behavior.

Unload documents created by a pending direct load during shutdown.

If openDirectConnection() is still loading when destroy() starts, the close pass has no connection to close. createDocument() can then add the loaded document to documents. This count check stays nonzero, but no unload was started to trigger afterUnloadDocument, so destroy() can wait indefinitely. Coordinate shutdown with pending direct loads and unload their documents before waiting for an unload event.
