Failing test connecting to non-default namespace

[fdellabetta]

Test is failing with Error: timeout of 2000ms exceeded
Ubuntu 14.04 x64, node.js 0.10.29, socket.io 1.0.6

it('should pass errors when connecting to non-default namespace', function(done){
  var srv = http();
  var sio = io(srv);
  sio.use(function(socket, next){
    next(new Error('Authentication error'))
  });
  srv.listen(function(){
    var socket = client(srv,'/ns');
    socket.on('error', function(err){
      expect(err).to.be('Authentication error');
      done();
    });
  });
});

That first use call applies to the default / namespace. You have to prefix it with .of('/ns') in that case.

With 0.9.17 works...(with set authorization instead of use of course)
What is the expected behavior in this case ?

[rauchg]

Good point… Since now io.on('connection') captures the connections not for all namespaces but for the / namespace, I think .use should only apply to /

[fdellabetta]

What I'm trying to do actually is to allow a client only to connect to specific (dynamic) namespaces and reject the connection to other namespaces (thus checking namespace in the first use callback and reject with an Error if namespace doesn't match)
By the way, is possible to read the namespace from the socket in use callback ?
It would be very useful... (instead of doing like this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13143945/dynamic-namespaces-socket-io)

@fdellabetta for getting the namespace, try socket.nsp.name

[fdellabetta]

I have already tried, but seems that socket.nsp.name returns always '/' in
io.use(...), not the one you are using to connect with the client

Have you tried io.of('<namespace>').use(...?

[fdellabetta]

No, but that's not what I wanted to do...
If you log socket.nsp.name inside of io.of('').use(... you
always get ...

@guille, @evanlucas For my and @smaffer understanding, when a client connect to a namespace, if the namespace does't exist on server, it's automatically created.

What about checking something like

  if (!this.server.nsps[name]) {
    debug('namespace %s does not exist', name);
    //send error
    //close connection
    return;
  }

before line

  var nsp = this.server.of(name);

of Client.prototype.connect function that creates Namespace object ?

[ofirzh]

still the issue exists.

It seems like there is general agreement for

Closing.
