I have this webscocket code:

fun openWebSocket(scope: CoroutineScope = GlobalScope, consumer: JsonRpcListener) {
        scope.launch {
            <http://httpClient.ws|httpClient.ws>(method = HttpMethod.Get, host = host, port = port, path = path) {
                incoming.consumeAsFlow()
                    .onEach { consumer.run(it) }
                    .collect()
            }
        }
    }

So how do I close the ws from client side?

Hey, @Sourabh Rawat.Current coroutine will be blocked by collect(), you can try:

launch { 
     delay(....) // or suspend for some condition
     outgoing.close()
}

before collect, or run collect() in launch and close outgoing in the origin coroutine

[Sourabh Rawat]

I dont this outgoing is available in origin coroutine. Assuming outgoing means SendChannel<Frame> for ws session

[e5l]

Yep, outgoing should be available on the same scope as incoming

[Sourabh Rawat]

fun openWebSocket(scope: CoroutineScope = GlobalScope, listener: JsonRpcListener): () -> Unit {
        val job = scope.launch {
            <http://httpClient.ws|httpClient.ws>(method = HttpMethod.Get, host = host, port = port, path = path) {
                incoming.consumeAsFlow()
                    .onEach { listener(it) }
                    .collect()
            }
        }
        return {
            job.cancel()
        }
    }

So i tried this, using return object (can be renamed to RemoveListener or something)? Is it a proper way tho?
