Socket.io检测是重新连接还是完全断开

Question

I'm working on a chat application with Node.js and Socket.io, and on disconnect, the remaining user receives an alert saying that their partner disconnected.

The problem is that every once in a while, Socket.io automatically disconnects then reconnects. My chat application is triggering the alert, even though the partner hasn't really disconnected.

Code:

var clients = {};
var soloClients = [];
io.sockets.on('connection', function (socket) {

    //Session start
    socket.on('sessionStart', function () {
        clients[socket.id] = socket;
        soloClients.push(socket.id);

        var searchClients = function(){
            if(soloClients.length > 1){
                var rand = Math.floor(Math.random() * soloClients.length);
                if(soloClients[rand] && soloClients[rand] != socket.id){
                    if(clients[soloClients[rand]]){
                        var you = clients[socket.id];
                        var partner = clients[soloClients[rand]]

                        clients[partner.id]['partner'] = you.id;
                        clients[you.id]['partner'] = partner.id;
                        soloClients.splice(soloClients.indexOf(you.id), 1);
                        soloClients.splice(soloClients.indexOf(partner.id), 1);

                        partner.emit('partnerConnect', null);
                        socket.emit('partnerConnect', null);
                    }
                    else{
                        soloClients.splice(rand, 1);
                        searchClients;
                    }
                }
                else{
                    searchClients();
                }
            }
        };
        searchClients();
    });

    //On disconnect
    socket.on('disconnect', function(){
        soloClients.splice(soloClients.indexOf(socket.id), 1);

        if(clients[socket.id]){
            if(clients[clients[socket.id]['partner']]){
                clients[clients[socket.id]['partner']].emit('partnerDisconnect', null);
            }
            delete clients[socket.id];
        }
    });
});

I was wondering if there is any way to solve this.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Maybe you should try to find out the real reason why the client gets disconnected? Ie is it a bad connection, or firewall issues, or something else?

Also, you should check the error you get from the disconnect, if it's a clean disconnect (no error) you do the normal notification, but if it's an error you maybe want to handle it differently.

It turns out that this behavior isn't supposed to happen, it was just a bug in that version. This bug has been fixed in the latest version.
