I will assume you are using nginx. Did you configure it correctly for web sockets?

OPINION: Its a "uws" module error on line ParseWebSocketServer.js line 14, and has since been fixed in "ws". "uws" module has been deprecated,

const getWS = function () {
  try {
    return require('uws'); 
  } catch (e) {
    return require('ws');
  }
};

my temporary solution:

const getWS =  require('ws');

What do you suggest?

[flovilmart]

How does this relate to your issue description that states that all work well over node HTTPS and not HTTPS? (I’m not even sure what this means).

*** I meant to say HTTP and not HTTPS. two things are certain, "uws" don't exist no more, my issue is temporarily solved by its omission.

[flovilmart]

And http va https has nothing to do with ws versus uws as packages.

Well according to you, thanks for nothing buddy. uws doesn't install as required by parse-server, because it doesn't exist

[flovilmart]

not sure what this is then:

$ ls node_modules/uws
LICENSE                 uws_darwin_57.node*     uws_linux_59.node*      uws_win32_64.node*
README.md               uws_darwin_59.node*     uws_linux_64.node*
package.json            uws_darwin_64.node*     uws_win32_57.node*
uws.js                  uws_linux_57.node*      uws_win32_59.node*
~/src/Parse/parse-server (master ±)

And this:

npm ls uws
parse-server@3.1.3 /Users/florent/src/Parse/parse-server
└── uws@10.148.1

How is it not installed for you?

[grosscorporation]

It installs but fails over wss:// works well with ws://

@GoGross out of curiosity. What version of Node are you running. uws only had binding to node 8 and 9. I believe.

[grosscorporation]

I am running version 10

I have the same issue... how to solve it..

[grosscorporation]

I don't know why they won't accept my PR but it's because npm uws is deprecated and instead of calling ws ParseWebSocketServer.js line 14 still tries it, try remove it completely or edit the module file :

const getWS = function () {
  try {
    return require('uws');
  } catch (e) {
    return require('ws');
  }
};

// my temporary solution:

const getWS =  require('ws');
