Hello,

I start a native application with runtime.connectNative , send and receive message without error.

After a while, i can still send messages to my native application, but no longer receives any. The port still seems active; I don't get any errors.The port.onDisconnect.addListener trigger is never activated.

port.onMessage.hasListeners() return true.

If I force a reconnection to my native application (runtime.connectNative), everything works again with the same message (send and receive).

Have you ever had this problem? If not, how can I know when to reconnect to my native application?

In case it's useful (and if you're using Windows), you might try

Hello,
Thanks Eric for the suggestion.

A precision :
My native application is a C++ application for 32-bit Windows, my Chrome application is a 64-bit Windows application.

I didn't see anywhere that the native application had to be 64-bit, but now that Windows OS are 64-bit maybe it's implicit...
