Ok trying my hand at NodeJS and socket.io and have run into a problem. I have NodeJS and Socket.io installed and running on my localhost. At present I have the following setup:
server.js
// Require HTTP module (to start server) and Socket.IO var http = require('http'), io = require('socket.io'); // Start the server at port 8080 var server = http.createServer(function(req, res){ // Send HTML headers and message res.writeHead(200,{ 'Content-Type': 'text/html' }); res.end('<h1>NodeJS Server Online</h1>'); }); server.listen(8080); // Create a Socket.IO instance, passing it our server var socketserver = io.listen(server); // Add a connect listener socketserver.on('connection', function(socket){ socket.emit("server ready"); socket.on('test', function (msg) { socket.broadcast.emit('TEST:', msg); console.log(msg); }); socket.on('user message', function (msg) { socket.broadcast.emit('user message', msg); console.log(msg); }); }); client.js
$(document).ready(function() { // Stuff to do as soon as the DOM is ready; var socket = io.connect('http://localhost',{port:8080}); socket.on('server ready',function() { messages.append("<li>Server Ready...</li>"); console.log("Server Ready"); }); // Add a connect listener socket.on('connect',function() { messages.append("<li>Connected...</li>"); console.log("connected"); socket.emit('test',"Just testing"); }); }); Server starts fine, but my problem is that the server.js does not fire the socket.emit("server ready"); line. The client side code works fine as in terminal.app on testing my server outputs this line:
websocket received data packet 5:::{"name":"test","args":["Just testing"]} What am I missing? Why isn't the server side stuff firing?
