Live transport is not connected

Error message

Live transport is not connected

What it means

send() serializes a live client message onto the call's sideband WebSocket, but only when the transport state is "connected". If the transport has never connected, or was closed/failed, it refuses to enqueue the write and throws synchronously at the state check.

Solutions

1. Check transport state (or a connected flag) before calling send.
2. Await connect() completion before sending any messages.
3. Reconnect the transport, then resend queued messages.
4. Guard sends inside try/catch and requeue on "not connected" errors.

Example fix

// before
transport.send({ type: "input", text });
// after
if (transport.state === "connected") {
  await transport.send({ type: "input", text });
} else {
  pendingQueue.push({ type: "input", text });
}

function canSend(t: { state: string }): boolean {
  return t.state === "connected";
}
// gate sends:
if (canSend(transport)) await transport.send(msg); else outbox.push(msg);

const isConnected = (t: { state: string }): t is { state: "connected" } => t.state === "connected";

try {
  await transport.send(msg);
} catch (e) {
  if (e.message === "Live transport is not connected") {
    outbox.push(msg);
    await reconnectTransport();
  } else throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling transport.send() before connect() resolves, after close(), or after the underlying call dropped and state transitioned away from "connected" (e.g. during reconnect).

Common situations: Sending a control message from an event handler racing a disconnect, forgetting to await connect(), or app code holding a stale transport reference after the live session ended.
