So when I start the js socket on the website I am receiving this error:
and after some errors of 'websocket is closed ....' the website will finally connect without errors, but if I refresh again, then I need to wait for 4-5 or 10 errors until it successfully connect.
Any solutions, please?
I'm using this code for socket server:
var server = require('http').createServer();
var io = require('socket.io')(server);
server.listen(3001);
Frontend code:
function connect()
{
if (!SOCKET)
{
var hash = getCookie('hash');
SOCKET = io('IP:3001');
SOCKET.on('connect', function(msg) {
SOCKET.emit('hash', {
hash: hash
});
});
SOCKET.on('connect_error', function(msg) {
$.notify('Connection lost!', 'success');
});
SOCKET.on('message', function(msg) {
onMessage(msg);
});
SOCKET.on('disconnect', function() {
});
}
else
{
console.log("Error: connection already exists.");
}
}
To fix this issue you need to install the npm package socket.io#1.7.3.
Thanks!

i am trying to do a very simple real time notification with socket.io. for some reason i can't receive data or fire the event from server to client but from client to server yes. let me show my code:
Client Side
ngOnInit() {
this.socket.on('connect', function (res: any) {
console.log('Socket.io is connected on client side!'); // it shows on client console
});
this.socket.on('alarmsreceived', function (res: any) {
console.log(res + ' i am here now'); // is not firing
});
}
// this method fires from a click button
objectStatus = () => {
this.socket.emit('alarmsystem', 'i am client going to server');
}
Server
var io = require('socket.io').listen(server);
var connections = [];
io.of('/api/v1/monitoring').on('connect', function(socket){
connections.push(socket);
console.log('Connected %s sockets', connections.length); // i see connection on cmd
socket.on('disconnect', function() {
connections.splice(connections.indexOf(socket), 1);
console.log('Connected %s sockets', connections.length);
});
socket.on('alarmsystem', function(res) {
console.log(res); // this shows me the message from client
io.sockets.emit('alarmsreceived', 'I am server heading to client');
});
})
it seems pretty straight forward, but not firing the client event. Can someone help me what i am doing wrong here? Thanks in advance
I have a very simple configuration in a node server with socket.io installed (a little bit more complex but essentially like this one):
var main = require('express')();
server = require('http').createServer(main);
io = require('socket.io')(server);
io.use(function(socket, next) {
console.log("middleware!");
next();
});
io.on('connection', function (socket) {
console.log('connected...');
socket.on('pong', function (data) {
console.log(data.message);
});
setTimeout(function() {
console.log("Saying hello");
socket.emit('ping', { message: 'Hello from server ' + Date.now() });
}, 1000);
});
server.listen(2080, function onCreateServerMain() {
console.log('Server main is listening on port 2080';
console.log('************************************************************');
});
In the client:
var socketIoScript,
loadSocketTimeout,
trialsToLoadSocketIo = 0,
APP_CFG = {baseUrl : "http://192.168.1.13:2080"};
function loadSocketIo(socketIoIp) {
socketIoScript = document.createElement('script');
socketIoScript.setAttribute('src', socketIoIp);
socketIoScript.setAttribute('onload', 'onSocketLoaded();');
document.head.appendChild(socketIoScript);
}
window.onSocketLoaded = function onSocketLoaded() {
if (typeof(io.connect) === 'function') {
var mSocket,
mIoSocket;
$timeout.cancel(loadSocketTimeout);
mIoSocket = new io.Manager(APP_CFG.baseUrl);
mIoSocket.connect(function(socket) {
console.log('Connected!!');
});
mIoSocket.on('error', function onSocketError(e) {
console.log('WebSocket Error ' + error);
});
mIoSocket.on('ping', function onPingReceived(e) {
console.log('Server emitted ping: ' + e.data);
mSocket.emit('pong', 'hi server!');
});
}
}
~(function onLoadSocketTimeout() {
var nextTimeout;
if (trialsToLoadSocketIo < 10) {
nextTimeout = 5000;
} else if (trialsToLoadSocketIo > 60) {
nextTimeout = 60000;
} else {
nextTimeout = 1000 * trialsToLoadSocketIo;
}
if (socketIoScript) {
document.head.removeChild(socketIoScript);
}
loadSocketIo(APP_CFG.baseUrl + '/socket.io/socket.io.js#' + trialsToLoadSocketIo);
loadSocketTimeout = $timeout(onLoadSocketTimeout, nextTimeout);
trialsToLoadSocketIo += 1;
})();
(I'm doing like this because it's mobile app so it may have not connection). I'm testing it with Brackets and Chrome. Server and client are in the same machine. In the app the script is loaded fine and it connects to the server as I can it see in node log (edit: and this is all what I get in the node console):
Server main is listening on port 2080
************************************************************
middleware!
connected...
Saying hello
Edit: in Chrome console I don't get any message, and any breakpoint stops at on listeners. If I stop node, the console for the Chrome immediately starts logging that it has been disconnected:
GET http://192.168.1.13:2080/socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=polling&t=1413066902601-6 net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
GET http://192.168.1.13:2080/socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=polling&t=1413066906606-7 net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
But I can't see any incoming message. In the app I don't receive any incoming message. Is there any reason why I could not communicate in this environment even if socket is successfully connected?
EDIT
No app is receiving events sent from the other side. Logs from node show this, logs from Chrome are empty.
EDIT
In Chrome app I don't receive console.log("Connected!");. But neither I receive ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED errors: I don't receive anything.
EDIT
I managed to get console.log("Connected!"); in the app by changing Manager options:
mIoSocket = new io.Manager(APP_CFG.baseUrl, { autoConnect: false });
As it was auto connecting and the events were attached after connection was made, "Connected" was never reached. But I'm still not receiving any event in any app.
I had a similar issue were event callbacks on the server were not firing when emitting. My event names were ping and pong. As soon as I renamed these events everything worked.
I suspect the event names ping and pong are reserved by socket.io and so cannot be used.
Ok, so a few things :
First, var mSocket doesn't seem to be initialized, so it may be difficult for it to emit() anything (am I missing something?)
Second, when you do :
socket.on('pong', function (data) {
console.log(data.message);
});
the server expects to receive an object containing a message property, eg : data = {message:'hi server'} In your case, you send a string, so data is 'Hi server !' and your log will say 'undefined'. You should change this bit to :
socket.on('pong', function (data) {
console.log(data);
});
and you have a similar problem the other way around, you send an object : { message: 'Hello from server ' + Date.now() }, and are trying to log a data property which does not exist. Change this bit to :
console.log('Server emitted ping: ' + e.message);
And third , you have to listen for events on the socket, not the 'manager'
Client :
mIoSocket.connect(function(socket) {
console.log('Connected!!');
socket.emit('pong');
socket.on('error', function onSocketError(e) {
console.log('WebSocket Error ' + error);
});
socket.on('ping', function onPingReceived(e) {
console.log('Server emitted ping: ' + e.data);
socket.emit('pong', 'hi server!');
});
});
Server :
io.on('connection', function (socket) {
console.log('connected...');
socket.on('pong', function (data) {
console.log(data);
});
setTimeout(function() {
console.log("Saying hello");
socket.emit('ping', { message: 'Hello from server ' + Date.now() });
}, 1000);
});
I'm attempting to write a small relay script in node.js that listens for incoming TCP connections on a local socket, and when it gets one, forwards the traffic to a 3rd party. It must also take any returned data from that 3rd party and send it back to the original local socket. I've tried code like http://delog.wordpress.com/2011/07/19/a-tcp-relay-mechanism-with-node-js/ and it does work, but it requires the sender be a server that is listening on a socket itself, and my utility is intended to work with any program that tries to create an outbound TCP connection. Unfortunately, the problem I'm running into is that everything works great the first time with the client sending the data to the "router" program, and the router forwarding it to another server, and then returning the data from the client. However, when the client program ends or is terminated and attempts to reconnect, I get this:
events.js:72
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
^
Error: This socket has been ended by the other party
at Socket.writeAfterFIN [as write] (net.js:275:12)
at Socket.<anonymous> (/root/tcp_loop.js:37:17)
at Socket.emit (events.js:117:20)
at Socket.<anonymous> (_stream_readable.js:748:14)

at readableAddChunk (_stream_readable.js:168:9)
at Socket.Readable.push (_stream_readable.js:130:10)
at TCP.onread (net.js:528:21)
I ripped out all of the logic and distilled the test case into a small bit of code: one server that acts as both the router (listening on port 8124) as well as the "remote" server (on port 9999), though my testing indicates it makes no difference weather the remote server is on the same machine, on the Internet, etc. Here is the server code:
var net = require('net'),
util = require('util')
;
// The loop_server simulates a remote service.
// The error occurs whether using it here, or actually forwarding
// the data to a remote host.
var loop_server = net.createServer(function(loop) {
console.log("Loop server connected");
loop.on("end", function() {
console.log("Loop server disconnected");
});
loop.on("data", function(data) {
console.log("Loop got data: " + data);
loop.write(data);
});
}).listen(9999, function() {
console.log("Loop server bound");
});
var remote_socket = net.connect(9999, function() {
console.log("Remote connected");
var local_server = net.createServer(function(local_socket) { //'connection' listener
console.log('Local server connected');
local_socket.on('end', function() {
console.log('Local server disconnected');
// local_socket.destroy();
});
local_socket.on('data', function(ldata) {
console.log("Local socket got data: " + ldata);
remote_socket.write(ldata);
});
remote_socket.on('data', function(rdata) {
console.log("Remote socket got data: " + rdata);
local_socket.write(rdata);
});
local_socket.write('hello\r\n');
}).listen(8124, function() { //'listening' listener
console.log('Local server bound');
});
}); // remote_socket
The thing that's failing is the local_socket.write(rdata); in the remote_socket.on('data', ... handler. It works the first time the router is started and the client connects, but never again.
For reference, here is the code for the little client app that I've been using. I get the same result with a perl script, telnet, etc.:
var net = require('net');
var client = new net.Socket();
client.connect(8124, function() {
console.log('CONNECTED TO: localhost:8124');
client.write('Single text message from the client app');
});
client.on('data', function(data) {
console.log('DATA: ' + data);
});
client.on('close', function() {
sconsole.log('Connection closed');
});
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I feel like I must be missing something extremely simple here...
Update:
Nitzin's solution below is a better way to do this, but in my particular example below, the solution is to remove old remote_socket.on('data') listeners before creating new ones, e.g.:
var remote_socket = net.connect(9999, function() {
console.log("Remote connected");
var local_server = net.createServer(function(local_socket) { //'connection' listener
console.log('Local server connected');
remote_socket.removeAllListeners('data');
...
remote_socket.on('data', function(rdata) {
console.log("Remote socket got data: " + rdata);
local_socket.write(rdata);
});
You should not destroy the socket. It closes both ends of the socket. You should only .end() it, which closes your writing end.
EDIT
Destroying the socket is bad, as I originally wrote, but your real problem is something completely different: you got your proxy (what you call "local") and echo (what you call "remote") servers backwards: the proxy server should make a new connection to the echo server for each new connection the proxy server gets, not the other way around as you have it now.
The only end() needed is in the client, to let the server know you're done writing.
Here is client.js:
var net = require('net');
var client = new net.Socket();
client.connect(8124, function() {
console.log('CLIENT: CONNECTED: localhost:8124');
client.write('single text message from the client app');
client.end();
});
client.on('data', function(data) {
console.log('CLIENT: GOT DATA: ' + data);
});
client.on('close', function() {
console.log('CLIENT: CONNECTION CLOSED');
});
And here is servers.js:
var net = require('net'),
util = require('util');
net.createServer(function(conn) {
console.log('ECHO_SERVER: CONN: new connection');
conn.on('end', function() {
console.log('ECHO_SERVER: CONN: disconnected');
});
conn.on('data', function(data) {
console.log('ECHO_SERVER: CONN: GOT DATA: ' + data);
conn.write(data);
});
}).listen(9999, function() {
console.log('ECHO_SERVER STARTED');
});
net.createServer(function(conn) {
console.log('PROXY_SERVER: CONN: new connection');
var remote = net.connect(9999, function() {
console.log('PROXY_SERVER: CONNECTED TO ECHO_SERVER');
conn.on('end', function() {
console.log('PROXY_SERVER: CONN: disconnected');
remote.end();
});
conn.on('data', function(data) {
console.log('PROXY_SERVER: CONN: GOT DATA FOR ECHO_SERVER: ' + data);
remote.write(data);
});
remote.on('data', function(data) {
console.log('PROXY_SERVER: CONN: GOT DATA FROM ECHO_SERVER: ' + data);
conn.write(data);
});
});
}).listen(8124, function() {
console.log('PROXY_SERVER STARTED');
});
As you can see, for each conn to the proxy server, there is a new remote going to the echo server.
I built a simple TCP server and a simple TCP client in Node.js
Now, when the client sends "exit" to the server, the connection is successfully closed. The server deletes the socket from its sockets list and sends "Bye bye!" to the client.
The connection on the client is closed as well but the app is still waiting for other inputs, so it doesn't die and I'm forced to type CTRL+C.
I tried adding process.exit() after connection closes but it doesn't work:
CLIENT CODE:
var net = require('net'),
config = require(__dirname + '/config.json'),
connection = net.createConnection(config.port, config.host);
connection.setEncoding('utf8');
connection.on('connect', function () {
console.log('Connected');
});
connection.on('error', function (err) {
console.error(err);
});
connection.on('data', function (data) {
console.log('ยป ' + data);
});
connection.on('close', function() {
console.log('Connection closed');
});
process.stdin.on('data', function (data) {
if ((new String(data)).toLowerCase() === 'exit') {
connection.end();
process.exit();
}
else {
connection.write(data);
}
});
process.stdin.resume();
SERVER CODE:
var server = require('net').createServer(),
config = require(__dirname + '/config.json'),
sockets = [];
server.on('connection', function (socket) {
socket.setEncoding('UTF-8');
socket.on('data', function (data) {
console.log('Received data: ' + data);
if (data.trim().toLowerCase() === 'exit') {
socket.write("Bye bye!\n");
socket.end();
}
else {
sockets.forEach(function (client) {
if (client && client != socket) {
client.write(data);
}
});
}
});
socket.on('close', function () {
console.log('Connection closed');
sockets.splice(sockets.indexOf(socket), 1);
console.info('Sockets connected: ' + sockets.length);
});
sockets.push(socket);
});
server.on('listening', function () {
console.log('Server listening');
});
server.on('close', function () {
console.log('Server is now closed');
});
server.on('error', function (err) {
console.log('error:', err);
});
server.listen(config.port);
EDIT:
I added a client connection "on close" event handler. So, the string "Connection closed" is now printed by the server and by the client too.
I think you're looking for this: socket.unref().
From Node.js documentation (https://nodejs.org/api/net.html#net_socket_unref):
socket.unref()#
Calling unref on a socket will allow the program to exit if this is the only active socket in the event system. If the socket is already unrefd calling unref again will have no effect.
Some time ago when improving the tests suite for node-cubrid module, I had encountered the same problem. After all tests have passed, nodeunit process didn't quit because node-cubrid was using connection.end() to close the client socket when timeout occurs, just like you did.
Then I replaced connection.end() with connection.destroy(), a cleaner way to ensure the socket is really closed without actually terminating the running process, which, I think, is a better solution than the above suggested process.exit(). So, in your client code context, I would do:
process.stdin.on('data', function (data) {
if ((new String(data)).toLowerCase() === 'exit') {
connection.destroy();
}
else {
connection.write(data);
}
});
According to Node.js documentation:
socket.destroy()
Ensures that no more I/O activity happens on this socket. Only necessary in case of errors (parse error or so).
I doubt that if ((new String(data)).toLowerCase() === 'exit') is succeeding because data most likely has a trailing newline (in your server, you trim() before doing the comparison, but not in the client).
If that's fixed, you've got a logic problem: when getting "exit" you close the connection without sending "exit" to the server, so the server code that looks for "exit" will never execute.
You have to put the process.exit() instruction only on the last event handler. So, in this case you have to put it inside the client connection "on close" event handler:
CLIENT:
connection.on('close', function() {
console.log('Connection closed');
process.exit();
});
Try with Event: 'close' in the server:
http://nodejs.org/api/net.html#net_event_close
I'm trying out node.js and socket.io. I wan't to use to remove a ping function I have to get updates from my server. Here is an example code of what I'm doing:
var app = require('http').createServer(),
io = require('socket.io').listen(app),
cp = require('child_process');
app.listen(8080);
//I check a global value for all the connected users from the php command line
var t = setInterval(function(){
cp.exec('/usr/bin/php /Users/crear/Projects/MandaFree/symfony api:getRemainingMessages',
function(err, stdout){
if (err) {
io.sockets.emit('error', 'An error ocurred while running child process.');
} else {
io.sockets.emit('change', stdout);
}
console.log('Remaining messages: ' + stdout);
});
}, 3000);
var remaining = io.of('/getRemainingMessages')
.on('connection', function(socket){
socket.on('disconnect', function(){});
});
The Issue here, is that when I call io.sockets.emit() the debug console tells me it is doing something, but it looks like it is not getting to the clients. Because they are doing nothing.
I use to have one interval for every connected client, and when I used socket.emit() it did worked. But it is not the optimal solution.
UPDATE:
Here is my client side code.
var remaining = io.connect('http://127.0.0.1:8080/getRemainingMessages');
remaining.on('change', function(data){
console.log('Remaining messages: ' + data );
$('#count').html(data);
});
remaining.on('error', function(error){
console.log(error);
});
Had a very similar issue couple of days back and looks like socket.io had some changes in the API. I have never worked with symfony and am hoping the issues are the same.
I have a working demo of socket.io sending and receiving a message - uploaded to https://github.com/parj/node-websocket-demo as a reference
Essentially two changes
On Server side - changed socket.on to socket.sockets.on
var socket = io.listen(server);
socket.sockets.on('connection', function(client)
On Client side - URL and port not required as it is autodetected.
var socket = io.connect();
This has been tested using Express 2.5.2 and Socket.io 0.8.7
I have amalgamated your server code with mine, would you be able to try this on the server and my client javascript and client html just to see if it is working?
var socket = io.listen(server);
socket.sockets.on('connection', function(client){
var connected = true;
client.on('message', function(m){
sys.log('Message received: '+m);
});
client.on('disconnect', function(){
connected = false;
});
var t = setInterval(function(){
if (!connected) {
return;
}
cp.exec('/usr/bin/php /Users/crear/Projects/MandaFree/symfony api:getRemainingMessages',
function(err, stdout){
if (err) {
client.send('error : An error ocurred while running child process.');
} else {
client.send('change : ' + stdout);
}
console.log('Remaining messages: ' + stdout);
});
}, 3000);
t();
});
