NodeJS setInterval not working

Question

I'm making a module named rooms.js for my game in socket.io and canvas , and I've a function to sync with the client the users data as an object, but setInterval is not working on my function Rooms.Listener() , the client only get the data 4 times with setInterval at 1ms , but only one time with 10ms .

Code:

Listener: function() {
    setInterval(function() {
        // send data to client every 1ms
        Rooms.ListUsers();
    }, 1);
},
ListUsers: function() {
    for(var roomID in Rooms.Obj) {
        var room = Rooms.Obj[roomID];
        // send users data to client
        room.users.forEach(function(uid) {
            var socketID = users.getSocketIDbyId(uid);
            var data = Rooms.getUsersInRoomData(roomID);
            fiveSocket.emitClient(socketID, headers.roomUsers, data);
        });
    }
},
getUsersInRoomData: function(roomID) {
    var room = Rooms.Obj[roomID];
    var obj = {};
    room.users.forEach(function(uid) {
        var user = users.Obj[uid];  
        obj[uid] = {
            username: user.username,
            position: user.position,
            figure: user.figure
        };
    });
    return obj;
},

Where's the problem? Thanks

Double check your methods separately. The code itself should work, problem may be inside your inner methods.

 var Rooms = { Listener: function() { setInterval(function() { Rooms.ListUsers(); }, 1000); // change to 1ms if necessary }, ListUsers : function() { document.body.innerHTML += Date.now() + "<br />"; } }; Rooms.Listener();
