I have created an ASP MVC 4 application with SignalR notifications. I run it in Debug mode locally and also on a server through IIS publish. This works mostly (explained later) as expected when using Internet Explorer 11:
HTML1300: Navigation occurred.
File: AllChanges
SignalR: Window unloading, stopping the connection.
SignalR: Stopping connection.
SignalR: Stopping forever frame.
SignalR: Fired ajax abort async = false.
SignalR: Stopping the monitoring of the keep alive.
JQMIGRATE: Migrate is installed, version 3.0.0
SignalR: Client subscribed to hub 'prismhub'.
SignalR: Negotiating with '/signalr/negotiate?clientProtocol=1.5&connectionData=%5B%7B%22name%22%3A%22prismhub%22%7D%5D'.
SignalR: serverSentEvents transport starting.
SignalR: This browser doesn't support SSE.
SignalR: serverSentEvents transport failed to connect. Attempting to fall back.
SignalR: foreverFrame transport starting.
SignalR: Binding to iframe's load event.
SignalR: Iframe transport started.
SignalR: foreverFrame transport connected. Initiating start request.
SignalR: The start request succeeded. Transitioning to the connected state.
SignalR: Now monitoring keep alive with a warning timeout of 13333.333333333332, keep alive timeout of 20000 and disconnecting timeout of 30000
Connected to signalR hub
SignalR: foreverFrame transport timed out when trying to connect.
**SignalR: Triggering client hub event 'sendUpdatedChange' on hub 'prismHub'.**
The notifications don't appear to be working in Chrome. In the log, I can see that SignalR is pushing out the notifications:
SignalR: Window unloading, stopping the connection.
SignalR: Stopping connection.
SignalR: EventSource calling close().
SignalR: Fired ajax abort async = false.
SignalR: Stopping the monitoring of the keep alive.

But the data in my view is not changing (as it does in Internet Explorer). This problem occasionally occurs in IE. Also, refreshing a page appears to break the hub connection. From IE console:
HTML1300: Navigation occurred.

JQMIGRATE: Migrate is installed, version 3.0.0

It is worth noting that these requests make an ajax call to the controller that hits the database with a linq query, returning a list of data:
View JS
$(document).ready(function () {
FetchChanges();
notifications.client.sendUpdatedChange = function () { FetchChanges(); };
}
function FetchChanges() {
var model = $('#divChanges');
$.ajax({
url: '/Changes/AllChangesItems',
contentType: 'application/html ; charset:utf-8',
type: 'GET',
dataType: 'html',
})
.done(function (result) {
model.empty().append(result);
})
}
Controller Action
public ActionResult AllChangesItems()
{
var username = CurrentUser().UserName;
var changes = db.Changes;
List<ChangeListingViewModel> vm = new List<ChangeListingViewModel>();
foreach (var c in changes)
{
vm.Add(new ChangeListingViewModel(c));
}
return PartialView("_ActiveItems", vm.ToList());
}
where ChangeListingViewModel contains two linq queries fetching the child rows (can provide code if revelant):
However, a 'simpler' query seems to work fine in IE and Chrome, i.e. the push notifications trigger JS functions that update the view:
public void PinChange(int id)
{
CurrentUserDetails().User.PinnedChanges.Add(db.Changes.Find(id));
db.SaveChanges();
PrismHub.NotifyPinnedChange();
}
My first thought is that some kind of timeout is occurring, but I'm not sure why that would differ between browsers. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Updated with Hub info EDIT 2: Updated hub method to be consistent with other snippets.
Here is the snippet of my hub class:
Hub
[HubName("prismHub")]
public class PrismHub : Hub
{
private static IHubContext context = GlobalHost.ConnectionManager.GetHubContext<PrismHub>();
[HubMethodName("notifyUpdatedChange")]
public static void NotifyUpdatedChange()
{
context.Clients.All.sendUpdatedChange();
}
}
Accidentally stumbled upon the solution. After several weeks of searching I encountered this post: signalr client hub events not being triggered within a jquery .ready() method
This issue was solved by addressing this piece of JS in the view:
Moving the SignalR function mapping outside of the $(document).ready() resolved it:
I have yet to discover why this is a problem, but I'm happy to have found a solution.
