action cable subscribing locally, but not on heroku

Question

I've been trying everything I can find online, and nothing is working. Hoping some fresh eyes will see the issue. This is my first time using ActionCable, and everything works great locally, but when pushing to heroku. my logs do not show any actioncable subscriptions like my dev server:

[ActionCable] [[email protected]] MsgsChannel is streaming from msg_channel_34

and when sending a message, I do see [ActionCable] Broadcasting to msg_channel_34: but they are not appending, which I'm guessing means that the received method is not being accessed/called?

I do notice on heroku's logs it says Listening on tcp://0.0.0.0:5000 where as dev it is listening at localhost:3000. Should I be pointnig towards my heroku app somehow?

Here are the relevant configuration files:

Procfile:

web: bundle exec puma -p 5000  ./config.ru  
actioncable: bundle exec puma -p 28080  cable/config.ru  
redis: redis-server  

***Thanks to the comment below, I am also trying. Still not working, but I can see that the port it's listening to is changing, making me believe it has something to do with the configuration? :

web: bundle exec puma -p $PORT  ./config.ru  
actioncable: bundle exec puma -p $PORT  cable/config.ru  
redis: redis-server  

/cable/config.ru

require ::File.expand_path('../../config/environment',  __FILE__)  
Rails.application.eager_load!

ActionCable.server.config.allowed_request_origins = ["http://localhost:3000"]  
run ActionCable.server 

config/environments/development.rb

config.action_cable.allowed_request_origins = ['localhost:3000']
config.action_cable.url = "ws://localhost:3000/cable"

config/environments/production.rb

config.web_socket_server_url = "wss://app-name.herokuapp.com/cable" 
  config.action_cable.allowed_request_origins = ['https://app-name.herokuapp.com', 'http://app-name.herokuapp.com']

config/cable.yml

local: &local  
  adapter: async
  :url: redis://localhost:6379
  :host: localhost
  :port: 6379
  :timeout: 1
  :inline: true
development: *local  
test: *local


production:
  :url: redis:<%= ENV["REDISTOGO_URL"] %>
  adapter: redis

<%= ENV["REDISTOGO_URL"] %> is set, confirmed by running heroku config

routes.rb

mount ActionCable.server => '/cable'

Why is this working on dev, but not on heroku? I've been reading for hours, but can not figure it out. Thank you!!

UPDATE: heroku logs:

Answer 1

Is your app name literally app-name? I suspect not. Odds are pretty good that these values...

config.web_socket_server_url = "wss://app-name.herokuapp.com/cable" 
config.action_cable.allowed_request_origins = ['https://app-name.herokuapp.com', 'http://app-name.herokuapp.com']

Need to be updated to use the actual public-facing URL you intend to connect to.

Answer 2

The issue was my host is the heroku app, but the requests were coming from the custom domain.

To solve:

heroku config:set RAILS_HOST "http://www.example.com"

And then in production.rb:

config.action_cable.url = "wss://#{ENV['RAILS_HOST']}/cable"

Answer 3

Your procfile suggests that you run puma with cable/cable.ru on port 28080. Also - file cable/config.ru shouldn't contain this line:

ActionCable.server.config.allowed_request_origins = ["http://localhost:3000"]  

You already configured this in config/environment/*.rb
