Client stops sending the data when sending it after the first data sent

[chilly karma]

Yeah so , i am learning socket programming and since I am dumb, I can't figure what's going on so it will be greatful if this get debugged.

Client stops sending the data after sending the first data

[quick osprey]

cant help without code

[chilly karma]

ok wait

need file or should I send the code in the blocks?

[quick osprey]

blocks preferably

[chilly karma]

oh ok wait for some seconds

[regal badger]

oh your hello world message isnt receiving?

[chilly karma]

yeah it should be a simple fix

let me just

ok how to send code blocks

I forgot

[quartz shard]

Use codeblocks to send code in a message!

To make a codeblock, surround your code with ```
To use C# syntax highlighting add cs after the three back ticks.

For example:
```cs
Console.WriteLine("Hello World");
```

Produces:

Console.WriteLine("Hello World");

To send lengthy code, paste it into https://paste.myst.rs/ and send the link of the paste into chat.

is the code visible?

this one is for server

client

@regal badger @quick osprey codes uploaded

the issue is that there's no loop inside handleClient in server.py so after first message, it exits and doesnt take data from the socket

[chilly karma]

I am using thread and it's under while loop

As per my debugging, I think there's nothing wrong with server but I may be wrong

[quick osprey]

def handleClient(conn, addr):
  while True:
    msg = conn.recv()
    print(msg)
    if msg == DISCONNECT_MESSAGE:
      conn.close()
      print("Connection broken")
      return

your "accept connection" is in a while loop

not receiving messages

that loop with the threads just allows multiple clients to connect to the server

[chilly karma]

so I dont need the accept function under the loop?

[quick osprey]

idk... depends
if you only want a client to connect once and then the server stops... then you dont need accept function under a loop

but if you want the server to keep accepting new connections, you still want the loop there

[chilly karma]

yup I want to since I will be testing with multiple clients

[quick osprey]

yeah then leave that as it is
just that the handle client threads need to be in a loop as well to keep reading messages sent

[chilly karma]

ok soo upon removing the accept method from loop it works

but keeping it inside the loop breaks it again

[quick osprey]

what are you doing 😄

you just have to put a loop inside handleClient
everything else is fine

[quick osprey]

this

[chilly karma]

Now I genuinely feel dumb, This was the problem all along 🤦‍♂️

@quick osprey thanks for the solution, I appreciate it

[quick osprey]

no worries

[pallid needle]

@chilly karma your code will not support the client sending a lot of data simultaneously

[chilly karma]

It's fixed💀, it was a simple fix that my brain can't figure out

But thanks to everyone who helped tho appreciate it
