python - gevent-socketio not using my @app.route endpoint for socketio -

i using flask gevent-socketio:

$ cat requirements.txt  flask==0.10.1 jinja2==2.7.1 markupsafe==0.18 werkzeug==0.9.3 argparse==1.2.1 gevent==0.13.8 gevent-socketio==0.3.5-rc2 gevent-websocket==0.3.6 greenlet==0.4.1 itsdangerous==0.23 wsgiref==0.1.2 

i'm using pretty standard setup start server:

#called __main__ def run_dev_server():     app.debug = true     port = 5000     dapp = werkzeug.debug.debuggedapplication(app, evalex = true)     socketioserver(('', port), dapp, resource="socket.io").serve_forever() 

and pretty standard hook socketio namespace:

@app.route('/socket.io/<path:rest>') def push_stream(rest):     print 'ws connect', rest     try:         socketio.socketio_manage(request.environ, {'/join_notification': joinsnamespace}, request)     except exception e:         app.logger.error("exception while handling socketio connection", exc_info=true)     return flask.response() 

however, i'm having problems 'connect' events aren't being fired on client. after little digging, realized though getting 127.0.0.1 - - [2013-08-19 12:53:57] "get /socket.io/1/websocket/170191232666 http/1.1" 101 - - messages in output, wasn't getting ws connect message (while other print statements in code working fine). commented out endpoint, , sure enough it's not being called. explain why namespace isn't being used. why? registering namespace wrong?

print app.url_map yields:

map([<rule '/' (head, options, get) -> root>,  <rule '/socket.io/<rest>' (head, options, get) -> push_stream>,  <rule '/static/<filename>' (head, options, get) -> static>]) 

so nothing out of ordinary.

edit: client code:

socket = io.connect('/join_notification') console.log(socket)  socket.on('connect', function() {     console.log('connected websocket')     socket.emit('login', {'name': data['name']}) })  socket.on('disconnect', function() {     console.log('d/c\'d websocket') })  socket.on('join_error', function() {     ... })  socket.on('join_success', function(data){     ... })  socket.on('join', function(data) {     ... }) 

the weird behavior because of line:

dapp = werkzeug.debug.debuggedapplication(app, evalex = true) 

socketio , werkzeug debugger don't work together. there open issue see: https://github.com/abourget/gevent-socketio/issues/114

but can work around making custom debugger class.

from werkzeug.debug import debuggedapplication class mydebuggedapplication(debuggedapplication):     def __call__(self, environ, start_response):         # check if websocket call         if "wsgi.websocket" in environ , not environ["wsgi.websocket"] none:             # websocket call, no debugger ;)             return self.app(environ, start_response)         # else go on debugger         return debuggedapplication.__call__(self, environ, start_response)  # remember call overwritten debugger in run_dev_server() function dapp = mydebuggedapplication(app, evalex = true) 

the patch relies on environment-key wsgi.websocket, seems present in websocket calls. careful, haven't put thought that, there might other issues.
