appwrite realtime event handler never triggered

Question

I'm trying some basic example with appwrite self-hosted using a react component as client. I'm not able to get realtime events. From network panel, websoket's tab in chrome, I'm able to see only the initial messages

{"type":"connected","data":{"channels":["databases.test.collections.*.documents"],"user":null}}

But then, changing something in any documents in any collections in 'test' database I'm not getting any other message.

Here is the react component I'm using:

const [events, setEvents] = useState([]);
const {appwriteEnv} = props;

useEffect(async() => {
    
    const client = await new Client()
        .setEndpoint(appwriteEnv.endpoint) 
        .setProject(appwriteEnv.projectID);

    const unsubscribe = client?.subscribe("databases.test.collections.*.documents", response => {            
            setEvents([response.payload, ...events]);
        }
    );

    return () => {
        unsubscribe ? unsubscribe() : null
    }
}, [appwriteEnv])

return <>
    <pre>{JSON.stringify(events, null, 2)}</pre>
</>;

I tried to edit, add, delete documents in test databases, any collection, but I'm not getting messages from websocket. All collections has persmission Any for read.

Wildcards are not supported for realtime channels. You should probably use documents instead.

See the Appwrite docs for more details on supported channels.
