Issue with allowReconnection Not Working on Second Attempt

[ibeallc]

Hello everyone,

I'm encountering an issue with the allowReconnection function in my game server code. The function works correctly for the initial reconnection attempt, but fails on subsequent attempts. Here’s the relevant part of my onLeave method:
`
async onLeave(client: Client, consented: boolean) {
let self = this;

// Find the player based on session ID
let player = this.findPlayerBySessionId(client.sessionId);
if (player) {
// Mark the player as away
player.away = true;
} else {
console.log('Player not found');
return;
}

try {
if (consented) {
// Handle consented leave
self.removePlayersInfo(client.sessionId);
this.rmPlayerFromGame(client.sessionId);
self.activePlayers--;
throw new Error('consented leave');
}

// Try to allow reconnection within 5 minutes
await this.allowReconnection(client, 60 * 5);

// If reconnection is successful, mark player as not away
let plyr = this.findPlayerBySessionId(client.sessionId);
if (plyr) {
  plyr.away = false;
  self.updatePlayerReconnectionToken(client);
} else {
  console.log('Player not found after reconnection');
}

} catch (e) {
// Handle unsuccessful reconnection
console.log('Reconnection not successful', e);
self.activePlayers--;

// Update lobby metadata
self.setMetadata({
  activePlayers: self.activePlayers
}).then(() => updateLobby(self));

// Remove the player from the game
this.rmPlayerFromGame(client.sessionId);

}
}
`
Issues Observed:

• The first reconnection attempt works fine.
• On the second reconnection attempt, allowReconnection does not seem to function as expected and the player is not able to reconnect.

Error Message:

❌ reconnection token invalid or expired. Did you miss .allowReconnection()?

Hi @ibeallc, each connection and reconnection generates a new .reconnectionToken in the client-side. Are you always using the latest one available? Cheers

[ibeallc]

I thought so too, so I tried saving the token again with self.updatePlayerReconnectionToken(client); when the player reconnects the first time. However, the client. reconnectionToken still seems to be the same.

Oh, sorry, I should have retrieved the token again on the client side. I tried this in the onLeave method.
