Breaking changes in 3.0.7

[silentdiverchris]

Hi, on accidentally using the 3.0.7.0 dll in a release that should have been referencing 3.0.6 I had problems whereby the SocketIOOptions.EIO / EngineIO property has changed from an int to an enum, which is good in general of course, and an easy fix, but a breaking change.

More fundamentally, the SocketIO.Namespace and SocketIO.ServerUri properties seem to have disappeared in 3.0.7 and have no obvious equivalents.

I can't find any readme or other text describing these changes and/or what properties I might use instead of the missing ones if I were to upgrade to the new version. If there is some I'd appreciate a pointer, thanks.

Sorry for the breakchanges and no any docs updates (busy).

namespace is a internal property and it should not be public, either in socket.io client js lib, why would you like to access it, do you have any mechanism base it?

Hi, thanks for responding, no worries, sometimes things need to break to evolve :)

Re: why I need to get at the namespace property, now I check what I'm using it for, I don't strictly speaking need it, but have been using it.

I have an application that uses a connection with several namespaces and it stores references to them keyed on the namespace it used to create the connection, and retrieves them that way.

Here and there I use the socket.Namespace property in log messages where I could just use the key they were retrieved with, but with me just passing around a reference to the socket, I dig it out of the properties rather than pass the socket plus the key/namespace as well.

Log messages like...
InitialiseSocketClientEventHandlers initialising handlers for socket namespace '{socket.Namespace}'
and
SocketIO reports socket '{socket.Namespace.ValueOrNoValue("[default]")}' connected

I'd have thought it would be handy to keep it exposed, as it is informative/useful - as a read only property of course as in vsn 3.0.6 - but it's not essential, I could get round that no problem.

I have exposed Namespace as a readonly property.

solution 1

var uri = new Uri("http://localhost:11002/namespace");
using var io = new SocketIO(uri);
var ns = uri.AbsolutePath; // namespace
var dic = new Dictionary<string, SocketIOClient>();
dic.Add(ns, io);

Thanks, no need for solutions, I can make the namespace available in any case, and using reflection just for a log message is probably a big strike against my future application to enter developer heaven :)
