Introduction

Port forwarding is a crucial feature in Mirrord, allowing users to access remote services as if they were running locally. However, some users have reported experiencing connection reset issues when using the mirrord port-forward command. In this article, we will delve into the details of this issue, explore the possible causes, and provide a step-by-step guide to troubleshoot and resolve the problem.

Bug Description

The mirrord port-forward command is not forwarding properly, resulting in a connection reset error when attempting to reconnect to a Websocket. The error message indicates that the connection was reset due to a network error.

Steps to Reproduce

To reproduce this issue, follow these steps:

Clone the Mirrord Kafka debug example repository using the command git clone git@github.com:waveywaves/mirrord-kafka-debug-example.git.
Set up the Mirrord operator with the --kafka-splitting flag.
Run the mirrord port-forward command with the --port-mapping 8080:kafka-producer:9090 flag.
Visit http://localhost:8080/ in your web browser and open the inspector to view the Network tab.
To see the correct behavior, use the kubectl port-forward svc/kafka-producer 8080: command instead of Mirrord.

Backtrace

The backtrace is not provided in the original report, but it is likely related to the Mirrord port forwarding mechanism.
