Laravel websocket cant connect to pusher ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID

Question

I have a laravel application with websockets. I already setup all the needs for the websocket and pusher config. But whenever I test my broadcast channel I got

app.js:58283 WebSocket connection to 'wss://127.0.0.1/app/644a4ac1988060882370?protocol=7&client=js&version=6.0.2&flash=false' failed: Error in connection establishment: net::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID

When i do some reload. sometimes i get app.js:55791 WebSocket connection to 'wss://127.0.0.1/app/644a4ac1988060882370?protocol=7&client=js&version=6.0.2&flash=false' failed: WebSocket is closed before the connection is established.

Here are my configs.

broadcasting.php

   'pusher' => [
            'driver' => 'pusher',
            'key' => env('PUSHER_APP_KEY'),
            'secret' => env('PUSHER_APP_SECRET'),
            'app_id' => env('PUSHER_APP_ID'),
            'options' => [
                'cluster' => env('PUSHER_APP_CLUSTER'),
                'encrypted' => true,
                'host' => '127.0.0.1',
                'port' => 6001,
                'scheme' => 'http',
            ],
        ],

websockets.php

  'apps' => [
        [
            'id' => env('PUSHER_APP_ID'),
            'name' => env('APP_NAME'),
            'key' => env('PUSHER_APP_KEY'),
            'secret' => env('PUSHER_APP_SECRET'),
            'path' => env('PUSHER_APP_PATH'),
            'capacity' => null,
            'enable_client_messages' => false,
            'enable_statistics' => true,
            'verify_peer' => false,
        ],
    ],

bootstrap.js

import Echo from "laravel-echo"
window.Pusher = require('pusher-js');

window.Echo = new Echo({
    broadcaster: 'pusher',
    key: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
    wsHost: window.location.hostname,
    wsPort: 6001,
    disableStats: true,
    // enabledTransports: ['ws', 'wss']
});

window.Echo.channel('Inventory').listen('InventoryEvent',(e)=>{
    console.log(e)
})

web.php

Route::get('/', function () {
    broadcast(new InventoryEvent('somedata'));
    return view('welcome');
});

InventoryEvent

namespace App\Events;

use Illuminate\Broadcasting\Channel;
use Illuminate\Broadcasting\InteractsWithSockets;
use Illuminate\Broadcasting\PresenceChannel;
use Illuminate\Broadcasting\PrivateChannel;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Broadcasting\ShouldBroadcast;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Events\Dispatchable;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;

class InventoryEvent implements ShouldBroadcast
{
    use Dispatchable, InteractsWithSockets, SerializesModels;

    public $somedata;

    /**
     * Create a new event instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct($somedata)
    {
        $this->somedata = $somedata;
    }

    /**
     * Get the channels the event should broadcast on.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Broadcasting\Channel|array
     */
    public function broadcastOn()
    {
        return new Channel('Inventory');
    }
}

        "vue-router": "^3.1.6",
        "vue-select": "^3.9.5"
    }

I already setup the env for my pusher credentials. Do i need to config something in my pusher in order for this to work? I got another project with the same setup but it works but this one is not.

Answer 1

in your bootstrap.js file, try changing:

import Echo from "laravel-echo"
window.Pusher = require('pusher-js');

window.Echo = new Echo({
    broadcaster: 'pusher',
    key: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
    wsHost: window.location.hostname,
    wsPort: 6001,
    disableStats: true,
    forceTLS: false, //<<<<=====CHANGE THIS
    // enabledTransports: ['ws', 'wss']
});

window.Echo.channel('Inventory').listen('InventoryEvent',(e)=>{
    console.log(e)
})

the default value of the forceTLS option is true, which forces listening on wss instead of ws.
