zlib: Error [ERR_INTERNAL_ASSERTION]: zlib binding closed

[jeffrson]

• Version: 15.11.0, 14.1[56].* 12.2[01].* and more
• Platform: Windows, Linux x64
• Subsystem: zlib

What steps will reproduce the bug?

see repo @ https://github.com/jeffrson/node_zlib_binding_err_internal_assertion

NodeJs connects via websockets (https://www.npmjs.com/package/ws) to Windows service using websocket-sharp (https://github.com/sta/websocket-sharp).

Sending data from ws# service to nodejs client crashs the client.

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

always - apparently must send two messages

What is the expected behavior?

should not crash but receive and use data

What do you see instead?

internal/assert.js:14
    throw new ERR_INTERNAL_ASSERTION(message);

Error [ERR_INTERNAL_ASSERTION]: zlib binding closed
This is caused by either a bug in Node.js or incorrect usage of Node.js internals.

Additional information

Workaround: disable compression in client (perMessageDeflate: false)

@lpinca
it seems this problem became evident after ws 7.4.2

[lpinca]

Please continue the discussion on websockets/ws#1840 until we have a test case to reproduce this using only Node.js built in modules.

I'm closing this as the issue is caused by an invalid usage of the InflateRaw object in ws.
