Nodejs Events On('connect') Error

Recently I have started learning Node.js with 'Node.js in Action' book. In chapter there is following listing: var events = require('events'); var net = require('net'); var channe

Solution 1:

I have solved my problem by the help of this SO question:

on the server side, the socket is already connected when you get the callback, and the event you're trying to listen to isn't emitted on an already connected socket.

So, I emitted 'join' outside of client.on('connect'). In other words this code:

client.on('connect', function () {
        channel.emit('join', id, client);
    });

does nothing. And it must be replaced by:

channel.emit('join', id, client);
