Can't access authentication helpers inside websocket

[kethomassen]

Currently calling any padrino helper functions, e.g. logged_in? or current_account throws a method not found error. Is there any way to bypass or fix this problem?

Sorry about that, would you have an example to work with? What version of Padrino are you using? Thanks

@dariocravero Hmmm, weird. They have decided to randomly start working again, however now when I try to broadcast I get an error.

DEBUG -  {"some"=>"data"}
  DEBUG -  Broadcasting message on channel: ping. Message:
  DEBUG -  {:pong=>true, :data=>{"some"=>"data"}}
  ERROR -  Error while running the event handler
  ERROR -  undefined method `each' for nil:NilClass

using only this now and still getting the error

    websocket :channel do
        on :ping do |message|
            broadcast(:ping, {pong: true, data: message })
        end
    end

seems to be something to do with the @@connections variable in base-event-manager.rb

[jaybeecave]

websocket :channel do
  on :ping do |message|
    send_message(:ping, session['websocket_user'], {pong: true, data: message})
    broadcast(:ping, {pong: true, data: message, broadcast: true})
  end
end

should actually be

websocket :channel do
  on :ping do |message|
    send_message(:channel, session['websocket_user'], {pong: true, data: message})
    broadcast(:channel, {pong: true, data: message, broadcast: true})
  end
end

The example is just a bit wrong

[jaybeecave]

replace :ping with :channel except for on :ping which is essentially on event...
