What if you remove that setTimeout call?

It's do nothing actually, just for show purposes. When subscribing to the route, start pushing values after 1 sec, nothing more.

then I don't think that that code is enough to reproduce your issue, right? Please share the full code along with the steps to reproduce.

why reproductions are required

example nest application you can use to reproduce this behavior. after running the application, use Postman or any other similar application and enter localhost:3000/sse, then check the console where the warning appears.

Seems like some sort of issue with usd adding this.once('drain') here. Interestingly it doesn't happen when using rxjs directly via interval

As I continue debugging, find out this comment and think it's related to this.

I don't know why it does not appear when you use interval directly, maybe because of debounse?

cc @soyuka would you like to take a look?

I have the same issue:
(node:167175) MaxListenersExceededWarning: Possible EventEmitter memory leak detected. 11 drain listeners added to [SseStream]. Use emitter.setMaxListeners() to increase limit

@ggagosh could you please provide an example with interval?

Hey, this is the example branch

I take the interval example from NestJS documentation, I just change the interval time to 0, because first I think the warning was caused by the amount of data I try to return.

I have the same issue: (node:167175) MaxListenersExceededWarning: Possible EventEmitter memory leak detected. 11 drain listeners added to [SseStream]. Use emitter.setMaxListeners() to increase limit

I have the same issue, has anyone found some workaround/solution to this problem? In my case, I can reproduce the issue by sending HTTP requests and immediately cancelling them, after a couple of cancelled requests the warning pops up.

same here

I figured out a solution: Add a listener for disconnect event, which stops the streaming.

@Sse('stream`)
sse(@Req() req: Request) {
    const stream = /* start your stream */
    req.on('close', ()=>{ stream.destroy() })
}

or something like that.

I've submitted a PR requesting some changes to solve this issue. If you could validate it, I would appreciate it. #12188

Hi, sorry didn't see that, but it doesn't surprise me that there's a leak as by definition we may never end the stream... You should consider using mercure.rocks for something more bullet proof.

@lponciolo does the patch really concern SSE ?

@lxmfly123 solution above is quite correct if you need to end the stream. We can close this.

@soyuka In my case, the problem occurs when, having several gateways that use @SubscribeMessage, a client connects to the websocket, that bindMessageHandlers function also runs several times generating listeners for the same disconnect event, then the warning appears.

The issue at hand appears to be somewhat different from my own situation; I apologize for any confusion. You might find this issue to be more relevant: #7249

@lxmfly123 I (like in the repro) use Subject from rxjs, which doesn't seem to have anything resembling a .destroy() message. Any idea how to update it for the rxjs case?

I call subject.complete()

In my case, I can reproduce this by aborting the client connection. Basically, start a SSE stream on the browser and then hit F5 to reload the webpage. This makes the browser disconnect and then the server will show this error.

I was able to fix my issue by completing the observable when the request socket is closed.

import {Request} from 'express';


@Sse()
see(@Req() req: Request): Observable<any> {
   return new Observable((subscriber) => {
      req.socket.on('close', () => {
          subscriber.complete();
      });
     // do your stream work here
   });
}

FYI: req.on('close') didn't work for me. Had to use req.socket.on('close') instead.

You can use an AbortController and signal it to tell your other code to stop emitting events.

To solve this issue we should just document that developers should end the stream on client socket close. Can someone contribute that at https://github.com/nestjs/docs.nestjs.com/blob/bf400a0c615185a72fd58998526fdfaec19ac5d1/content/techniques/server-sent-events.md?plain=1#L3 ? Thanks!

@soyuka I quite confused with these warnings (because it also throws to nestjs queue), and quite misleading. The problem is happening when the redis service not on and not working. Will there any notes for this or at least it doesn't cause confusion with the developer with throwing error that redis connection is broken.

Note sure how this related to redis
