Check existing issues

• I checked there isn't already an issue for the bug I encountered.

Viem Version

2.46.3

Current Behavior

if (client.transport.type === 'webSocket') {
  const websocket: ReturnType<WebSocketTransport>['value'] =
    client.transport

  const rpcClient = await websocket.getRpcClient()
  rpcClient.close()
}

it just reconnects and never closes and the node process never exits

Expected Behavior

actually close the socket with reconnecting

Anything else?

• rpcClient.close() goes here

  viem/src/utils/rpc/socket.ts

  Line 222 in 1205d5a

  close() {

  this call the underling socket .close() and triggers the onClose callback
• callback

  viem/src/utils/rpc/socket.ts

  Line 162 in 1205d5a

  onClose() {

  this calls a attemptReconnect()
• attemptReconnect calls socket.close() again triggers again onClose callback
• after a delay runs setup() again

Never closes, to be able to close properly you need to init with keepAlive: false and reconnect: false.
