Account Switch Broadcast Debugging
Investigation and fix for account switch not broadcasting to WebSocket clients
Output
Account Switch Broadcast Investigation
Findings
The server-side code was already correctly calling broadcastAccountSwitch() when accounts are switched via the navbar dropdown. The broadcast infrastructure IS working - service restart broadcasts were being received by connected clients.
Issue: The account switch logging didn't include connectedClients count, making it impossible to verify if broadcasts were being sent to active clients.
Fix Applied
Updated konui/src/router.ts line 2384:
await logger.info("Claude account switched", { from: data.previousAccount || "none", to: data.currentAccount, by: switchedBy, connectedClients: adminBroadcast.getClientCount(), });
Log Evidence
After restart, WebSocket client connected:
08:15:04 WebSocket client connected clientId: 2783be19... username: johnathon totalClients: 1
Next Step: Test Account Switch
Switch accounts using the navbar dropdown. You should now:
- See a toast notification appear
- See the new account reflected in the dropdown
- See the log entry with
connectedClients: 1
Commit
2daf7f23 - Turn: Add connected client count to account switch logs
What's Next?
Test the account switch to verify the broadcast is working. If it still doesn't show a notification, check browser console for errors.
