webcocket.close() doesn't work

[ghost]

I am using the websockets library to implement a client that connects to a websocket server running on another websocket implementation (node.js). All is working fine, except that, when I call websocket.close() on the client side nothing happens.

Here is the code:

async def close_w(self):
print("Handling request to close websocket")
if self.is_connected:
print("Websocket is open. Closing.")
self.websocket.close(1000, 'just because')
print("Close request sent. Waiting for actual close.")
r = await self.websocket.wait_closed()
print("Websocket closed")
print("result", r)
print("Close request handled")

The last message I see printed on screen is "Close request sent. Waiting for actual close.", and then it just waits forever

You forgot to await self.websocket.close.
