I'm not sure if this is the desired behaviour, a bug or just a bad configuration on my server.
I would expect that a "real-time" message should appear immediately at the recipient accounts. Currently this is only the case if the corresponding conpherence is open or after the user clicks on a link and triggers any HTTP requests.
In my understanding of the real-time message feature, all participants of a conpherence should get notified (by a "1" at the speech bubble icon) when they receive a message by another participant of the same conference.
No further user actions should be required. I know that this is possible with the used technology (Websocket and JavaScript).
This is how I can reproduce this issue on my machine:
Precondition: I have two users, "user1" and "user2", who have a ongoing conpherence. Both are logged out.
Step #1: Login of user1
Step #2: Login of user 2
Step #3: User1 goes to the conference room
Step #4: User 1 sends a message
Expected behaviour: User2 receives a message notification even if he is idle.
Actual behaviour: User2 does not receive a message notification as long as he does not click on a link.
Further observations:
The websocket for user2 is open and sends a "subscribe command":
"command":"subscribe","data":["PHID-USER-fp7ymdtiukgtvi46af6h"]}
But that's all. There are no incomming messages.
