fix(supabase)!: share one lazily connecting realtime client per AsyncClient - #2034
AsyncClient.realtime returned a new connect_once every time it was read. Every read opened its own WebSocket, channels made through one read were not visible through another, and connections opened with await client.realtime were never closed.
AsyncClient.realtime is now one RealtimeClient per AsyncClient. It connects when the first channel subscribes, disconnects when the last channel is removed, and is closed with the AsyncClient. A client that never subscribes opens no connection, so creating one per request stays cheap on a server.
Changes
realtime
RealtimeClient(url, token_callback, heartbeat_interval=..., heartbeat_timeout=...) no longer takes an open connection.
New RealtimeClient.connect() opens the connection unless one is already open. Concurrent calls share one connection, and a lost connection is replaced.
RealtimeChannel.subscribe() checks that no other channel owns the topic, then calls connect(). While the join is pending, the channel is in the JOINING state. If unsubscribe() runs before the join completes, while connecting or while waiting for the reply, subscribe() raises RealtimeError instead of joining or marking the channel joined. aclose() during a pending join does the same, even when the join reply already arrived. Cancelling a pending subscribe() sends a leave for that join, so the server does not keep the subscription.
When the last channel is unsubscribed or removed, the client closes the connection, the same as supabase-js. Subscribing again opens a new one.
RealtimeClient.aclose() stops the heartbeat, closes the socket and marks the channels as closed. Readers of channel.messages and pending sends fail with ConnectionClosed instead of hanging. Calling it without a connection does nothing.
A send waits for its reply on the connection it was sent on.
RealtimeClient.listen() and RealtimeClient.heartbeat() are removed, since connect() runs both loops. A second loop on the same socket would break it. They are removed from sdk-compliance.yaml as well.
RealtimeChannel.unsubscribe() sends the leave message only for a channel that is joined or joining, so cleanup after aclose() does not raise.
channel.messages returns messages already queued on the channel, like the close message of unsubscribe(), before it checks the connection. Reading past them without a connection raises NotConnectedError instead of waiting.
Sending without a connection raises NotConnectedError. Its message now names RealtimeClient instead of the removed AsyncRealtimeClient.
connect_once is a thin wrapper around a RealtimeClient, exposed as connect_once.client. The websocket, listen_task and heartbeat_task attributes are removed.
supabase
AsyncClient.realtime is a cached_property that returns a RealtimeClient.
AsyncClient.aclose(), which __aexit__ calls, closes the realtime client if it was created, then closes the HTTP session the client created, even if closing realtime fails.
Docs and matrix
MIGRATION.md has a new section on the realtime lifecycle, and the RealtimeClient and connect_once rows are updated.
The supabase README has a realtime example, and the realtime README describes the lazy connection.
RealtimeClient.connect is registered under realtime.client.connect in sdk-compliance.yaml.
Breaking changes
AsyncClient.realtime returns a RealtimeClient instead of a connect_once. Use client.realtime.channel(...) directly, without await or async with.
The RealtimeClient constructor signature changed (see above), and RealtimeClient.listen() and RealtimeClient.heartbeat() are removed.
The connection closes when the last channel is removed. Code that unsubscribes every channel and then sends on the client without subscribing gets NotConnectedError.
connect_once.websocket, .listen_task, .heartbeat_task, .url, .get_access_token, .heartbeat_interval and .heartbeat_timeout are removed. Use connect_once.client.
Tests
New src/realtime/tests/test_lazy_connection.py: no connection before subscribe, one shared connection across channels (including concurrent subscribes), cleanup on close, reconnect after close and after a lost connection, NotConnectedError without a connection, readers woken by close(), leave sent during a pending join and when a pending subscribe is cancelled, aclose() stopping a pending join, no connection for a taken topic, the connection closing after the last channel is unsubscribed or removed, staying open while another channel is registered, and readers getting the close message of the last channel.
src/supabase/tests/test_client.py: realtime returns the same client, the client closes realtime on exit only when it was created, and aclose() closes the HTTP session even when closing realtime fails.
src/realtime/tests/test_close.py builds its client with the new constructor.
Token propagation to realtime is out of scope here and tracked in SDK-1323 and SDK-1666.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
Realtime connections now start when the first channel subscribes or when you explicitly connect, and are shared across channels.
Realtime clients can reconnect when a channel subscribes after a connection closes or is lost.
Async clients reuse one realtime client and close it when the async client exits.
Bug Fixes
Unsubscribing from a channel that has not joined removes it without sending a leave message.
Documentation
Updated realtime connection and lifecycle guidance and examples.
RealtimeClient now accepts a URL and opens its WebSocket when a channel subscribes or connect() is called. It shares the connection across channels and manages connection failures, closure, and reconnection. Channel subscription and unsubscribe paths update channel state and handle topic conflicts. AsyncClient caches one RealtimeClient and closes it on context exit if initialized.

Change: Bug fix
Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review e8330
Cancelling a subscription mid-join can leave a server-side subscription whose messages pile up unread, and closing the client during a join can report a channel as joined with no connection. Both should be fixed before merging. The earlier token-after-reconnect and unsubscribe-while-connecting concerns appear addressed.

Prevent a pending connection from restoring an unsubscribed channel.
If unsubscribe() runs while connect() is pending, it removes the still-closed channel without sending a leave. When connect() returns, subscribe() registers and joins the channel again. The subscription remains active after unsubscribe() has returned. Track cancellation across connection setup and stop the pending subscribe from joining. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

…Client
AsyncClient.realtime returned a new connect_once on every read, so every access opened its own WebSocket, channels were not shared between reads, and the extra sockets were never closed.
RealtimeClient now takes the URL and token callback instead of an open connection. It connects on the first channel subscribe or on connect(), shares that connection with every channel, and closes it when the last channel is removed or aclose() is called. AsyncClient.realtime is a cached RealtimeClient that is closed with the AsyncClient.
Refs SDK-2710
…ry session change (#2037)
## What
Realtime could run with an outdated token:
- The first channel join had no access token, because the token was only
stored after the first `set_auth()` from the heartbeat.
- A new session token reached the joined channels only through the
heartbeat loop, up to a full heartbeat interval later.
- A token that changed while a join was pending was never sent to that
channel. The channel was not joined yet when the token was pushed, and
was marked up to date afterwards.
Now every join carries the current token. On every session change,
including `INITIAL_SESSION`, `AsyncClient` sends the token to the joined
channels right away.
Builds on #2034, which made `AsyncClient.realtime` one cached
`RealtimeClient`.
## Changes
### `realtime`
- `RealtimeChannel.subscribe()` awaits the token callback after
connecting. The join then carries the current token, and channels that
are already joined get it too.
- A token passed as `set_auth(token)` is kept: the callback no longer
replaces it on joins, heartbeats and reconnects, until `set_auth()` is
called without a token. Before, the heartbeat replaced it with the
callback token within one interval, and with the callback now awaited on
every join, a channel joined after `set_auth(user_jwt)` would have used
the callback token instead. supabase-js behaves the same way, with its
manually set token.
- The heartbeat no longer logs "no token callback was registered" on
every beat for a client without a callback.
- After a join completes, the channel is sent the client's token if it
changed during the join. If that send fails, the failure is logged and
`subscribe()` still returns the join reply, since the server has already
joined the channel. The lost connection surfaces to the readers of the
channel. If `subscribe()` is cancelled during that send, the channel is
closed and left like a cancelled join.
- `set_auth()` sends tokens in the order of the calls. A lock covers
both the token callback and the sends, so concurrent calls and the
heartbeat cannot leave a channel on an older token.
- `set_auth()` without a token, when the callback returns none, now
keeps the current token and no longer logs "no token callback was
registered". The docstring describes what `None` does.
### `supabase`
- `AsyncClient._set_access_token` starts a task that calls
`realtime.set_auth()`, but only when `realtime` was already created, so
an auth event never creates the realtime client. `set_auth()` reads the
current token through the callback, so a task that runs late never sends
a token that a later auth event replaced. The tasks are kept in a set
until they finish, a failure is logged as a warning, and `aclose()`
cancels the ones still pending. The next heartbeat sends the token
again, since `last_token` is only updated after a successful send.
### Docs and matrix
- The realtime and supabase READMEs say when the token is sent.
- `client.authentication_integration.cross_client_token_sync` is now
`implemented`, verified through the `SupabaseClient.with_token` symbol
already registered there. Third-party auth is still `not_implemented`,
so Supabase Auth is the only source of the token.
- The note on `realtime.configuration.access_token_callback` says that
the callback is also awaited on every join.
## Tests
- New `src/realtime/tests/test_access_token.py`: the first join and
every later join carry the current token, `set_auth()` sends to joined
channels right away, a token set during a pending join is sent once the
join completes, a failed send after the join is logged without failing
the subscribe, a subscribe cancelled during that send leaves the
channel, a token passed to `set_auth()` is kept on joins and heartbeats
until `set_auth()` is called without one, concurrent `set_auth()` calls
are applied in order, and a callback that returns no token keeps the
current one.
- `src/supabase/tests/_async/test_client.py`: every session event and
`SIGNED_OUT` send the token to realtime right away, auth events do not
create the realtime client, a failed send is logged, and `aclose()`
cancels a pending token update.
