Unable to connect to a websocket in node js










0















I have a websocket with URL "ws://localhost:1122" running in my machine. I am able to connect to the websocket when using it with normal javascript and deploying it in a jetty server.



But while using node js I could not connect to the web socket. I use the following code in both cases



var socket = new WebSocket(URL);


While using node js I have addded the following var WebSocket = require("ws"). But the readyState of the socket never become OPEN in node js.



Is there anything I am missing in node js because while using jetty as a server and normal javascript I am able to connect to the websocket.



Here is my app.js



var http = require('http');
http.createServer(function (req, res)
res.writeHead(200, 'Content-Type': 'text/plain' );
res.end('Hello Worldn');
).listen(1131, "localhost");
var WebSocket = require("ws");
var wsUri = "ws://localhost:1122";
var socket;
printer();
function printer()
socket = new WebSocket(wsUri);
console.log(socket.readyState);

  • Can you post the whole server code ? You may have an error when or before you try to make the server listen.

  • The server is listening to the port 1131. You cannot connect with the port 1122 on the client.

Because of the asynchronous nature of Node.js, socket.readyState doesn't immediately reflect the state of the connection.



Instead, you should use the event emitter interface to check if/when the connection is being made:



socket = new WebSocket(wsUri);
socket.on('open', function()
console.log('connection opened');
).on('close', function()
console.log('connection closed');
).on('error', function(e)
console.log('connection error', e);
);

  • robertklep - I used this, the socket.on('open') functions gets skipped due to the asynchronous nature of node js. But executes once the connection is made. Is there a way to make this synchronous?

  • "executes once the connection is made". That's how event emitters work: they call the function when a particular event occurs :D You can't make it synchronous.
