Sometimes, you may need to test how your application behaves when a WebSocket connection is disconnected. Here’s a step-by-step guide to disconnecting a WebSocket via the Chrome Console.

First, enter queryObjects(WebSocket) in the Chrome Console to retrieve the WebSocket object.

Next, right-click on the WebSocket object, select Store as global variable from the modal that appears.

This action will store the WebSocket object in a temporary variable, typically named temp1.

Finally, to close the WebSocket connection, use the command temp1.close(). This will disconnect the WebSocket, allowing you to observe your application’s response to the disconnection.
