Socket is trying to reconnect to Sails... Even after disabling socket.io

[tarunjadhwani]

I'm using the latest version of sails 0.12.1. I've added these lines in .sailsrc to disable socket.io:

{
  "hooks": {
    "sockets": false,
    "pubsub": false
  },
  "generators": {
    "modules": {}
  }
}

But we I see in network, I get a 404 error as socket is still trying to connect to https://abcdemo.com/socket.io/?__sails_io_sdk_version=0.…owser&__sails_io_sdk_language=javascript&EIO=3&transport=polling&t=LBjxAme

The 404 is coming from a client-side socket attempting to connect to the server, which isn't accepting socket connections (because you turned the hook off). You need to remove the sails.io.js script from whatever page you're loading. Assuming it's just being added to your layout.ejs file by Grunt, and assuming you don't need it for anything (since you're not using sockets), the easiest thing is just to remove the file from assets/js/dependencies, and Grunt will no longer add the <script> tag including it in your layout.

Did you delete the sails.io.js in "assets/js/dependencies"?
I think disabling the hooks is for sails backend functionality and grunt doesn't know about to delete the sails.io.js file after disabling these (backend) hooks.

If you want enable these hooks later again, you can generate the sails.io.js file via "sails generate sails.io.js"

@karsasmus @sgress454 spot on, thanks guys!

@tarunjadhwani if you can remember offhand where you found info on disabling the sockets hook, would you mind linking to this issue or writing up a couple of sentences about the solution there? (e.g. as comment on SO question or PR to sails-docs) It'd be a big help to other folks who might run into this in the future. Thanks!
