📄 Description

When using ComfyUI as the image generation backend, concurrent image generation/editing requests from the same user (e.g., multi-model chat, or rapid overlapping requests) cause some requests to hang indefinitely. ComfyUI's server stores WebSocket connections in a dict keyed by clientId, replacing earlier connections when a new one arrives with the same ID. Since Open WebUI passes user.id as client_id, displaced connections never receive completion messages.

This PR replaces user.id with str(uuid.uuid4()) to generate a unique client_id per request, matching ComfyUI's own websockets_api_example.py.

Pull Request Checklist

Note to first-time contributors: Please open a discussion post in Discussions to discuss your idea/fix with the community before creating a pull request, and describe your changes before submitting a pull request.

This is to ensure large feature PRs are discussed with the community first, before starting work on it. If the community does not want this feature or it is not relevant for Open WebUI as a project, it can be identified in the discussion before working on the feature and submitting the PR.

Before submitting, make sure you've checked the following:

  • Target branch: Verify that the pull request targets the dev branch. PRs targeting main will be immediately closed.
  • Description: Provide a concise description of the changes made in this pull request down below.
  • Changelog: Ensure a changelog entry following the format of Keep a Changelog is added at the bottom of the PR description.
  • Documentation: Add docs in Open WebUI Docs Repository. Document user-facing behavior, environment variables, public APIs/interfaces, or deployment steps.
  • Dependencies: Are there any new or upgraded dependencies? If so, explain why, update the changelog/docs, and include any compatibility notes. Actually run the code/function that uses updated library to ensure it doesn't crash.
  • Testing: Perform manual tests to verify the implemented fix/feature works as intended AND does not break any other functionality. Include reproducible steps to demonstrate the issue before the fix. Test edge cases (URL encoding, HTML entities, types). Take this as an opportunity to make screenshots of the feature/fix and include them in the PR description.
  • Agentic AI Code: Confirm this Pull Request is not written by any AI Agent or has at least gone through additional human review AND manual testing. If any AI Agent is the co-author of this PR, it may lead to immediate closure of the PR.
  • Code review: Have you performed a self-review of your code, addressing any coding standard issues and ensuring adherence to the project's coding standards?
  • Design & Architecture: Prefer smart defaults over adding new settings; use local state for ephemeral UI logic. Open a Discussion for major architectural or UX changes.
  • Git Hygiene: Keep PRs atomic (one logical change). Clean up commits and rebase on dev to ensure no unrelated commits (e.g. from main) are included. Push updates to the existing PR branch instead of closing and reopening.
  • Title Prefix: To clearly categorize this pull request, prefix the pull request title using one of the following:
    • fix: Bug fix or error correction

Changelog Entry

Description

  • Replace user.id with str(uuid.uuid4()) as the client_id for ComfyUI WebSocket connections, fixing hangs during concurrent image generation/editing.

Fixed

  • ComfyUI image generation/editing hangs when the same user triggers multiple concurrent requests (e.g., multi-model chat). ComfyUI's server replaces WebSocket connections sharing the same clientId, causing displaced connections to never receive completion messages.

Additional Information

Manual Test

  1. Enable ComfyUI as the image generation backend.
  2. Open a multi-model chat with 3 instances of the same model.
  3. Ask each model to generate an image.
  4. Before this fix, some requests remain stuck at "Creating image" / "Executing".
  5. After this fix, all requests complete.

Screenshots or Videos

After (non-Native FC, 3 models — all complete):
