Not able to make namespaces work

[sanketsaurav]

I'm trying to create a namespace, but I'm not able to connect to the namespace from the client side.

Server:

func registerHandlers(server *socketio.Server) {
    server.Of("room1").On("connect", connectionHandler)
}

func connectionHandler(so socketio.Socket) {
    log.Println("on connection")
    so.Join("chat")
    so.On("chat message", func(msg string) {
        so.BroadcastTo("chat", "chat message", msg)
    })
}

Client:

var socket = io.connect("http://localhost:3000/room1");
socket.on('chat message', function(msg){
        $('#messages').append($('<li>').text(msg));
      });

Am I missing something?

Hi Sanket,

Did you have any update on that ? I run into the same problem here.

Cheers.

I am also facing the same issue.
The socket.io client socket with a namespace does not get connected. It has socket.id property as undefined and connected as false.
Whereas on the server side any message sent to it from a client socket without namespace get echoed with namespace attached.

Frame sent => 42["message","hello"]
Frame received => 42/myspace,["message","hello from server /myspace"]

for the server code:

server.On("connection", func(so sio.Socket) {
    fmt.Printf("connected: %s of nsp: %s - %s -\n", so.Id(), so.Namespace(), server.Name())
    so.On("message", func(msg string) {
        fmt.Println("got message: ", msg)
        so.Emit("message", msg+" from server "+so.Namespace())
    })
...
})

server output:

connected: gdbWCxmHhk6VwHHh3Trv of nsp:  -  -
got message:  hello
sending message: message via socket gdbWCxmHhk6VwHHh3Trv having nsp:/myspace
[message hello from server /myspace]

the last two lines in server output comes from modified handler.go

func (h *socketHandler) Emit(message string, args ...interface{}) error {....}

I will try to figure out this issue.

Having the same issue here, any updates on this?

@navneetk my fix may not solve your problem. It seems unrelated to the code I changed. I'm only able to confirm that without my fix, clients can't connect fully and with it, they are connected.

EDIT: This fix is needed, but not enough. I'm running into the same problem described above, even with my fix.

Would really like to use this in production! Namespaces is a must. I made this little test app to compare node socket.io and go socket.io with namespaces. https://github.com/collinglass/socketio

Is there any update on this? It's really not viable to build big applications with this library without namespace support.

Closing this issue because it is old. There are a couple of newer issues with the same problem so please refer to those. Thanks!
