WebSocketGraphQlClient unable to reconnect after the first reconnect failure

[jma-9code]

Context:

Using Spring Boot 3.2.4 with Spring WebFlux/GraphQL.

Server A exposes a graphqlSubscription, and Server B consumes the subscription. They both use the same components (reactor/netty).

Steps to Reproduce:

Client Sample:

// Initialize the webSocketGraphQlClient
ReactorNettyWebSocketClient reactorNettyWebSocketClient = new ReactorNettyWebSocketClient(HttpClient.create(), build);
WebSocketGraphQlClient.builder(webSocketGraphQlVideoServerUrl, reactorNettyWebSocketClient).build();

// Call sample
webSocketGraphQlClient
        .document(query)
        .retrieveSubscription(path)
        .toEntity(XXXX.class)
        .retryWhen(Retry.fixedDelay(5, Duration.ofMinutes(1))).blockLast()

Not Working Cases:

Case 1:

1. Run the client.
2. Wait for the first RETRY.
   => GraphQlTransportException => connection refused.
3. Run the server.
4. KO -> the next retry will fail with the same reason.

Case 2:

1. Run the server.
2. Run the client.
3. Shutdown the server.
4. FIRST RETRY
   => WebSocketDisconnectedException -> connection is closed or lost.
5. Wait for the SECOND RETRY.
   => GraphQlTransportException => connection refused.
6. Run the server.
7. KO -> the next retry will fail with the same reason.

Working Case:

1. Run the server.
2. Run the client.
3. Shutdown the server.
4. Wait for the FIRST RETRY.
   => WebSocketDisconnectedException -> connection is closed or lost.
5. Run the server.
6. OK, the retry is working.

Is there a way to resume a WebSocket connection when the client failed to connect to the remote server?

I confirm there is an issue. For the version, I think you mean Boot 3.1.4 as 3.2 is not GA yet.
