Im working on a chat application using node.js. I'm coming up with an error though.
(node:72307) MaxListenersExceededWarning: Possible EventEmitter memory leak detected. 11 connection listeners added to [Namespace]. Use emitter.setMaxListeners() to increase limit
Now, I'm assuming that this is because my clients are not disconnecting from my server, because it wasnt doing this. I connected about 10 times before it started doing this and as I heard, the default amount is 10. I cant really find in my code though what is the issue as to why they are not disconnecting. Any help would be greatly appriciated.
var app = require("express")();
var http = require("http");
var io = require("socket.io")(http);
var fs = require("fs");
http
.createServer(function (req, res) {
fs.readFile("index.html", function (err, data) {
res.writeHead(200, { "Content-Type": "text/html" });
res.write(data);
return res.end();
});
io.once("connection", function (socket) {
console.log("ALERT!!:: A USER HAS CONNECTED!!");
socket.once("disconnect", function () {
console.log("user discconected...");
});
});
io.once("connection", function (socket) {
socket.on("chat message", function (msg) {
console.log("message: " + msg);
io.once("connection", function (socket) {
socket.broadcast.emit("hi");
});
io.once("connection", function (socket) {
socket.on("chat message", function (msg) {
io.emit("chat message", msg);
});
});
});
});
})
.listen(2000);
