socket.io official client connection issues?

Question

I am working with iOS 8 and Swift. I want to use the official socket.io client but for some reason it does not attempt to connect. I followed the example given here: https://github.com/socketio/socket.io-client-swift

let socket = SocketIOClient(socketURL: "\(CurrentConfiguration.serverURL)") socket.reconnects = true socket.reconnectWait = 10 socket.nsp = "/messagelist" // Connect socket.connect() socket.onAny {println("got event: \($0.event) with items \($0.items)")} socket.on("connect") {data, ack in println("socket connected") } socket.on("error") {data in println("socket ERROR") println(data) }

Can anyone confirm this? Is this a version problem or maybe related to Swift 1.2?

On the server side i cant even recognize a connection attempt. The variable serverURL is the same as i had before and

Make sure to call socket.connect() after you call your handlers. A good practice would be to create a function with all of your required handlers, and call it in the viewDidLoad method. Aftewards you would then call the connect method.

Example:

let socket = SocketIOClient(socketURL: "URL") override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() // socket.io addHandlers() socket.connect() } func addHandlers() { self.socket.onAny {println("Got event: \($0.event), with items: \($0.items)")} self.socket.on("processReq") {[weak self] data, ack in // handler code here } }

Thanks @rambossa your tip for calling connect after adding handler saved my day :)

You should use SocketIOClient instance as class property.

class aClass { let socket = SocketIOClient(socketURL: url) func someFunction() { socket.on("connect") {data, ack in println("socket connected") } } }

I think it's because there's lots of closures used in it.

well ok, i can do a new class and make everything a class method but how do i connect in the VC anyway? I tried your solution but it still wont even try to connect
