Phantom Websocket Pub Notification (cross-pod notification bug)

[uvdsl]

I am currently looking into notifications from the inbox using WebSockets over at uvdsl/solid-inbox-watcher.
(It seems that https://github.com/solid/node-solid-server/issues/933 could be closed?)

However, we ran into an odd thing: Alice (aka. uvdsl, left hand side) and Bob (aka. ik1533, right hand side) both have their own pod on the same NSS. When watching Alice's inbox, Alice receives a update notification via wss, when Bob's inbox is updated.

The PUB message Alice receives only contains "correct" data, i.e. the endpoint she subscribed to. But that resource wasn't updated...

MessageEvent {
isTrusted: true, 
data: 'pub https://uvdsl.solid.aifb.kit.edu/inbox/', 
origin: 'wss://uvdsl.solid.aifb.kit.edu', lastEventId: '', 
source: null, …}
isTrusted: true
bubbles: false
cancelBubble: false
cancelable: false
composed: false
currentTarget: WebSocket {url: 'wss://uvdsl.solid.aifb.kit.edu/inbox/', 
readyState: 1, bufferedAmount: 0, onerror: null, onopen: ƒ, …}
data: "pub https://uvdsl.solid.aifb.kit.edu/inbox/"
defaultPrevented: false
eventPhase: 0
lastEventId: ""
origin: "wss://uvdsl.solid.aifb.kit.edu"
path: []
ports: []
returnValue: true
source: null
srcElement: WebSocket {url: 'wss://uvdsl.solid.aifb.kit.edu/inbox/', readyState: 1, bufferedAmount: 0, onerror: null, onopen: ƒ, …}
target: WebSocket {url: 'wss://uvdsl.solid.aifb.kit.edu/inbox/', readyState: 1, bufferedAmount: 0, onerror: null, onopen: ƒ, …}
timeStamp: 38368.69999999972
type: "message"
userActivation: null
[[Prototype]]: MessageEvent

Other examples can be found at the corresponding issue in my app's repo: https://github.com/uvdsl/solid-inbox-watcher/issues/6

We tested it on solidweb.org and on another NSS 5.6.16 Do you have any idea as to why this happens? Cheers

Thanks for reporting. You are the first one to report the Phantom Websocket Pub Sub. I think I saw the same using the chat app in SolidOS databrowser.
