Sending messages to the group does not work after a few minutes online

[Luís Antonio De Marchi]

I'm using:

Django==1.11.3
channels==1.1.6

When the user connects to the websocket, I do the following:

@channel_session
def connect(self, message, **kwargs):
    group = Group('user-%s' % user.uuid)
    # Do not use more than one device.
    group.send({"close": True}, immediately=True)
    group.add(self.message.reply_channel)

I've created this method to send information to some specific user:

from channels.generic.websockets import WebsocketMultiplexer
def custom_reply(uuid: UUID, stream, action, data={}, response_status=200):
    if type(action) is ActionType:
        action = action.value

    payload = {
        'errors': [],
        'data': data,
        'action': action,
        'response_status': response_status
    }

    WebsocketMultiplexer.group_send(name='user-%s' % uuid,
                                    stream=stream,
                                    payload=payload)

 For several minutes this method sends the message to the client, after a while it seems that the users within the group are being reset and then the client is losing message

It seems you send "close": True to the group when a connection comes in, which means that only one websocket at a time is going to be open in it (all others in the group will be disconnected when a new one connects)
