`Aenea: Successfully connected to server.` printed when not connected to server

[dylan-chong]

If I don't even start the Aenea server, Aenea: Successfully connected to server. is printed to the natlink console when i open dragon, incorrectly, at line 2 https://github.com/dictation-toolbox/aenea/blob/master/client/_aenea.py#L54

I can concur that this is an issue that I'm experiencing as well.

Is anything else being printed? Wondering if this is the problem: https://github.com/dictation-toolbox/aenea/blob/master/client/aenea/communications.py#L97

Socket error is caught and we return None, which then gets converted into an empty context of {}. Since the printed message you note is just testing the absence of a general except:, it still gets printed.

If this is the problem, the solution should be to either use a smarter/more explicit check that the connection is up (this state is being tracked in the Proxy as part of retry and cooldown, so maybe we should just add a method to check directly?), or to propagate the socket.error exception (but I worry that could introduce further issues for intermittant problems or when using multiple servers on different computers, if things expect socket.error to be swallowed).

Socket error connecting to aenea server. To avoid slowing dictation, we won\'t try again for %i seconds doesn't get printed until i try to say a command

This text comes up when i open dragon without the server started

Hmmm ok, I'll try to take a look at this when I have a chance, but I'm about to head out of town for awhile so it might be a few weeks.

Thanks, no rush.
