io is not defined

[adaptivedev]

There was a suggestion here: https://github.com/btford/angular-socket-io/issues/77

• make sure you have socket.io client library: bower install socket.io-client --save

This didn't fix my problem with this same error.

• including in index.html: script src="lib/angular-socket-io/socket.js"
• in app.js angular.module('starter', ['ionic', 'starter.controllers', 'starter.services', 'starter.directives', 'btford.socket-io'])
• in services.js

.factory('seatStatusSocket',function(socketFactory){ var myIoSocket = io.connect(porturl); // io is not defined here, suddenly.

• It was working before, using a remote copy of the lib. When this error started, I changed index.html to link a local copy, as this remote version also received a Bad Gateway error (now fine, but still socket io is not defined as above).
• removed: script src="http://chat.socket.io/socket.io/socket.io.js"

• versions

  socket.io@1.3.7 node_modules/socket.io node --version v0.12.7

The solution is described here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33411413/angular-socket-io-io-is-not-defined

Worked for me when i changed io('local...) to io.connect('local...) and declare the io "declare var io"

Happening for me now too. Was also working before.

I have socket.io client library added (1.4.8), I've done what's in the above stackoverflow solution, using the io.connect approach
