I'm getting on connect_error timeout

[heshaShawky]

I'm using NodeJS/NestJS for server-side socket.io

And your lib for client-side ( Flutter ) So I first have tried the example code and completely just nothing!!

So then I went to use on with connect_error to check if there are any errors or something and it showed just one word on the console every couple of seconds and it's timeout

This example works for me - #36 (comment)

I have the same problem with you

[Mavennix]

This issue still persists. Is there any solution?

[jumperchen]

Can any example code be shown here?

[boreys]

The reconnect logic does not work well. Try connect to socket.io and then disable your WiFi, let it error awhile, then enable Wifi back. The reconnect logic is in the failed loop even the internet connection is restored.

This example works to me:

Flutter

import 'dart:async';
import 'dart:convert';

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:socket_io_client/socket_io_client.dart' as IO;


void main(){
  runApp(
      new MaterialApp(
        title: 'Hello World App',
        home: new MyApp(),
      )
  );
}

class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _State createState() => new _State();
}

class _State extends State<MyApp>{
  String _textFromServer = "";
  IO.Socket _socket;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    _socket = IO.io('http://10.1.3.95:3000/', <String, dynamic>{'transports': ['websocket'], 'forceNew': true});
    _socket.connect();
    _socket.on("connect", (_) {
          print('Connected');
          Timer.periodic(const Duration(seconds: 1), (Timer countDownTimer) {
            _socket.emit('toServer', json.encode({'key': 'hello', 'value': 'world'}));
        });
    });
    _socket.on("fromServer", (_) {
      print('fromServer $_');
    });
    _socket.on("connect_error", (data) => print('connect_error: $data'));
    _socket.on("reconnect", (data) => print('reconnect: $data'));
    _socket.on("reconnect_failed", (data) => print('reconnect_failed: $data'));
    _socket.on("reconnect_error", (data) => print('reconnect_error: v'));

  }
  void _updateText() {
    _socket.emit('toServer', json.encode({'key': 'hello', 'value': 'world'}));
    print('send text to server');
  }
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    print('build');
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Welcome to Flutter',
      home: Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(
          title: Text(_textFromServer),
        ),
        body: Center(
          child: Text('Hello World'),
        ),
       floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
        onPressed: _updateText,
        tooltip: 'Update Text',
        child: Icon(Icons.update),
      ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

Dart Server

import 'package:socket_io/socket_io.dart';

void main() {
  // Dart server
  var io = Server();
  io.on('connection', (client) {
    final headers = client.handshake['headers'];
    headers.forEach((k, v) => print('$k => $v'));

    print('connection default namespace');
    client.on('toServer', (data) {
      print('data from default => $data');
      client.emit('fromServer', '$data');
    });
  });
  io.listen(3000);
}

Result

I/flutter (10590): build

I had similar problem when I was starting to test this library for my project and I had 2 problems with the Node.JS server.

First was that I could not use Socket.IO version 3 with, it had same problem on web sockets.
Second thing I did was that I used ngrok for my server and used that one to connect.

[jumperchen]

@Jhellsten For Socket.io V3, please use v2.0.0-beta version - https://pub.dev/packages/socket_io_client/versions/2.0.0-beta.2

[jatinkatyal13]

I'm also using a NestJS server and it doesn't seem to connect even when it receives 101 from the server. Following up on all the issues and guidelines in the repository isn't helping and neither is the "it's working for me" comment.

This is what I have written on the client

        IO.io('https://game.stage.codeblitz.app/', <String, dynamic>{
      'transports': ['polling'],
      'port': '443',
      'forceTrue': true
    });

This is what I'm using on web

let g = io('/game', { transport:'websocket', query: { transport: 'websocket', 'X-Game-Id': 'abc' }})

I'm using namespaces, is this what creating the issue? Is there any other thing you'll require to debug this issue?

[binhphi109]

I'm using

• nodejs socketio v^3.1.2 and ^4.4.0
• socketio-client v2.0.0-beta.4-nullsafety.0

and now it works.

Socket socket = io(
      Config.SocketIOUrl,
      OptionBuilder().setTransports(['websocket'])
          .setExtraHeaders({'foo': 'bar'})
          .build());

  socket.onConnectError((error) {
    print('connect');
    socket.emit('chatMessage', 'test');
  });
  socket.onConnect((_) {
    print('connect');
    socket.emit('chatMessage', 'test');
  });
  socket.onDisconnect((_) {
    print('disconnect');
  });

How ???

[Hamid313-coder]

I have the same error!
I copied your code into another new project and run that but still it can't connect to the server.
My backend is nodjs.
I have a next js web app too and it has no problem with backend. It sends and receive data with no problem.
but in flutter side it's giving timeout error.

[eliffkaragoz]

I have the same error. It was working a few days ago. Even though I changed nothing, it is not working now, it gives a timeout error. Were you able to find a solution ?

I am having a similar issue, can anyone provide a solution

[Muswamba]

Same problem here Connect Error: timeout. Anyone can provide us with a solution?

[SabariFuzionest]

same error

[devSajan]

i am trying to load test the app, so when i am using the socket.io-client to create 1000 connections sometimes i am getting Error:timeout. we are using aws k8 and alb for deployment, on localhost it's working fine. k8 pods have 6 to 15% of cpu usage so we have resources available there. So what is the reason for that timeout?
