Update `socket.rooms` iteration to support `Set<string>` in `for..in` loop

Open ggenzone opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

While messing around with a simple Real-Time app, I encountered the following issue:

Issue Summary:

When the socket receives the disconnecting event, it fails to properly notify the associated rooms about the disconnection due to the usage of the incompatible for..in loop (no iteration is performed).

Currently, within the codebase, there exists a situation where the socket.rooms object, defined as a Set<string>, is being iterated using a for..in loop. However, for..in loops aren't compatible with Sets, potentially causing unexpected behavior or errors.

Due to this problem, the server fails to emit the expected room-user-change event.

Proposed Solution:

Refactor the iteration of socket.rooms to use for..of, forEach, or any loop mechanism compatible with Set<string> to ensure proper iteration and avoid potential issues related to incompatible iteration methods.
