process is hanging after calling client.close

[Rinse12]

Thank you for open sourcing this library. We're having this issue where the process is not exiting after stopping the client. We're on 7.6.0. This code should replicate the problem:

const WebSocket = require("rpc-websockets").Client;
const client = new WebSocket("ws://localhost:39652");
client.close();
console.log("Program should exit after this");

Hey, thanks!

The clients polls for connection with new WebSocket first and then issues the 'open' event afterwards. You can use close right after. What's the use-case for this, though?

It works like this:

var WebSocket = require('rpc-websockets').Client

const client = new WebSocket("ws://localhost:39652");

client.on('open', function() {
    console.log('socket opened')
    client.close();

    console.log("Program should exit after this");
})

In the case the connection never gets established, I believe the process will be still hanging (if I remember correctly)

Please test if you get either the error or close event.
