Thanks @RachitGupta123 . Which version of Photoshop includes CEP 12?

[Sam Gannaway - Ps]

Beta 25.12 as of 20240731.m.2719 currently available via the Creative Cloud Desktop app.

One more thing, is this only for Intel processors? That is to say, CEP is not available for Mac M1 or greater, right?

[Sam Gannaway - Ps]

Yes, on Mac ARM, CEP is not available natively.  It remains available only by running Photoshop via Rosetta.

Hi @RachitGupta123 (CC: @erinferinferinf ),

We have encountered a WebSocket connection issue with the CEP plugin on Ps 25.12 (release) and Ps 25.13 (beta). However, Ps 25.11 is working fine.

This issue is related to our released product, and we suspect it might be related to the CEP 12 update. We would greatly appreciate any assistance with resolving this issue.

We have been using the WebSocket library from the following link, and updating to the latest version did not help: https://www.npmjs.com/package/websocket

Particular code snipped is following and caused: Error: connect ECONNREFUSED

var WebSocketClient = require('websocket').client;

wsocket = new WebSocketClient();
wsocket.connect('ws://localhost:12345', protocols=['json']);

wsocket.on('connectFailed', function(errorDescription) {
  console.log('connect failed: ' + errorDescription); // Error: connect ECONNREFUSED
});

The same code works fine on Ps 25.12. Additionally, the following case, without the JSON subprotocol specified, also works:

wsocket.connect('ws://localhost:12345'); // without protocol param

Thank you for your help,

Naoki
