Failed to execute 'send' on 'WebSocket': Still in CONNECTING state

[DodoSeal]

<button id="send">Send Message</button>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/node_modules/osc-js/lib/osc.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
 var osc = new OSC();
 osc.open({ host: "192.168.1.247", port: 8001 }); // connect by default to ws://localhost:8080

 document.getElementById('send').addEventListener('click', () => {
   var message = new OSC.Message('/go', Math.random());
   osc.send(message);
 });
</script>

I am using mostly the exact code from the examples for WebSockets. I always get an error saying that the socket was still in a connecting state and was unable to send the data. I am trying to send a QLab /go command for show control. Other issues that I've seen with this error aren't helpful since they are using the package on Node while I am using it for web.
