this adapter doesn't work with dynamic namespace

bahmanbs commented 2 years ago

when using dynamic namespaces (using regex), amqp adapter throws an error in line 167 of index.ts

this.publishChannel.assertExchange(this.exchangeName, 'direct', { autoDelete: true, durable: false });

it says can access assertExchange of undfined

After checking the code a bit, I realized that when connecting the client to the socket server with different namespaces, the client tries to communicate with the / namespace and this causes an error. In case I did not intend to connect to the / namespace. The problem was solved by placing the two methods createRoomExchangeAndQueue and createRoomListener inside the try/catch block

Can you show more reproduction code? I'm not familiar with regex dynamic namespaces, but from a cursory read of the code I don't see a way that creating the publish channel would be dependent on the namespace name.

server side code

const { Server } = require('socket.io');

const io = new Server(3000);

// ----- amqp adapter does not work on dynamic naaspaces -----
const { createAdapter } = require('socket.io-amqp0');
const { connect } = require('amqplib');
io.adapter(createAdapter({ amqpConnection: () => connect('amqp://localhost') }));

// ----- redis adapter works on dynamic namespaces -----
// const { createAdapter } = require("@socket.io/redis-adapter");
// const { createClient } = require("redis");
// const pubClient = createClient({ url: "redis://localhost:6379" });
// const subClient = pubClient.duplicate();
// io.adapter(createAdapter(pubClient, subClient));

/**
 * the namespace here could be dynamic like so.
 * this means client can connect to socket server with a dynamic format 
 * for example:
 *  io("http://localhost:3000/[namespace]")
 *  in our example it could be:
 *  io("http://localhost:3000/test-abc123") OR io("http://localhost:3000/test-xyz789")
 * 
 * THIS IS SUPPORTED BY REDIS ADAPTER AND IT WORKS
 */

io.of(/^\/test-\w+$/).on("connection", (socket) => {
    const namespaceName = socket.nsp.name;
    socket.emit("connection-established", namespaceName);
});

console.log("server is running on port 3000")

just run rabbitmq or redis and uncomment related code to see what happens on successful connection, in console we can see name of namespaces
