Eclipse Paho MQTT Golang 发布订阅 AWS IOT 在同一台机器上作为单独进程运行时返回 EOF 错误

Question

I am using Go v1.17.2 on Linux to connect to AWS MQTT using the paho.mqtt.golang library v1.4.1. I am basing my code on this sample from EMQX using TLS with the certificates provided by AWS IOT Core.

When I run the publish and subscribe code in the same go program as per the above example from EMQX everything works and I can see the following output:

2022/08/11 19:47:42 Connected
Subscribed to topic: topic_1
2022/08/12 13:47:42 Received message: Message 0 from topic: topic_1
2022/08/11 19:47:43 Received message: Message 1 from topic: topic_1
...
2022/08/11 19:47:51 Received message: Message 9 from topic: topic_1

However, if I run the publish code in one go program (using go run) and run the subscribe in a separate program on the same machine at the same time, then the subscribe fails on each message with an EOF error:

2022/08/11 19:54:50 Connected
2022/08/11 19:54:54 Connect lost: EOF
...
2022/08/11 19:54:59 Connected
2022/08/11 19:54:59 Connect lost: EOF

Here is the publish code

client := mqtt.NewClient(opts)
if token := client.Connect(); token.Wait() && token.Error() != nil {
    log.Fatalln(token.Error())
}

publish(client, *topic)
client.Disconnect(250)
...

func publish(client mqtt.Client, topic string) {
    num := 10
    for i := 0; i < num; i++ {
       text := fmt.Sprintf("Message %d", i)
       token := client.Publish(topic, 0, false, text)
       token.Wait()
       time.Sleep(time.Second)
    }
}

and the subscribe code

client := mqtt.NewClient(opts)
if token := client.Connect(); token.Wait() && token.Error() != nil {
   log.Fatalln(token.Error())
}

sub(client, *topic)
time.Sleep(11 * time.Second)
client.Disconnect(250)

...

func sub(client mqtt.Client, topic string) {
    token := client.Subscribe(topic, 1, nil)
    token.Wait()
    log.Printf("Subscribed to topic: %s", topic)
}

If I run the subscribe code only, and use the AWS IOT console to publish some message that also works

2022/08/11 20:25:27 Connected
2022/08/11 20:25:27 Subscribed to topic: topic_1
2022/08/11 20:25:29 Received message: {
  "message": "Hello from AWS IoT console"
} from topic: topic_1
2022/08/11 20:25:30 Received message: {
  "message": "Hello from AWS IoT console"
} from topic: topic_1

It looks like the issue is to do with having two connections open to AWS IOT/MQTT at the same time.

Here is my MQTT client options config

opts := mqtt.NewClientOptions()
opts.AddBroker(fmt.Sprintf("tls://%s:%d", *host, 8883))
opts.SetClientID("basicPubSub")
opts.SetTLSConfig(tlsConfig)
opts.SetDefaultPublishHandler(messagePubHandler)
opts.OnConnect = connectHandler
opts.OnConnectionLost = connectLostHandler

This was due to me using the same client ID for the publish and subscribe code.

The Eclipse Paho docs explain this via a link to the MQTT specifications

If validation is successful the Server performs the following steps.

1.If the ClientId represents a Client already connected to the Server then the Server MUST disconnect the existing Client [MQTT-3.1.4-2].

I used a different client ID for each program and it works. Note: The AWS IOT policy must allow for each client ID to connect (allow iot:Connec t action)
