passport.socketio still works for me

how to pass the tests since this dependency cannot be installed?

Make sure you use the versions specified. i.e. passport.socketio@~3.7.0, connect-mongo@~3.2.0, and cookie-parser@~1.4.5
till they update the material and tests.

I just tried a different dependency called 'connect-mongodb-session' and it worked. You can view it here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/connect-mongodb-session

worked for me. Just remember to access user name like this -> socket.request.user.username instead of -> socket.request.user.name.

Use this process if you want to still use connect-mongo: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66654037/mongo-connect-error-with-mongo-connectsession. And use this process to replace passport-socket.io since it is deprecated: https://github.com/jfromaniello/passport.socketio/issues/148.

Still not passed the test.
Please recommend.
Below is my server.js.

'use strict';
require('dotenv').config();
const express = require('express');
const myDB = require('./connection');
const fccTesting = require('./freeCodeCamp/fcctesting.js');
const session = require('express-session');
const passport = require('passport');
const routes = require('./routes');
const auth = require('./auth.js');

const app = express();
const http = require('http').createServer(app);
const io = require('socket.io')(http);
const passportSocketIo = require('passport.socketio');
const cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');
var MongoStore = require('connect-mongodb-session')(session);
const URI = process.env.MONGO_URI;
const store = new MongoStore({ url: URI });

app.set('view engine', 'pug');

fccTesting(app); //For FCC testing purposes
app.use('/public', express.static(process.cwd() + '/public'));
app.use(express.json());
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true }));

app.use(session({
secret: process.env.SESSION_SECRET,
resave: true,
saveUninitialized: true,
cookie: { secure: false },
key: 'express.sid',
store: store
}));

app.use(passport.initialize());
app.use(passport.session());

io.use(
passportSocketIo.authorize({
cookieParser: cookieParser,
key: 'express.sid',
secret: process.env.SESSION_SECRET,
store: store,
success: onAuthorizeSuccess,
fail: onAuthorizeFail
})
);

myDB(async (client) => {
const myDataBase = await client.db('database').collection('users');

routes(app, myDataBase);
auth(app, myDataBase);

let currentUsers = 0;
io.on('connection', (socket) => {
++currentUsers;
io.emit('user count', currentUsers);
console.log('user ' + socket.request.user.username + ' connected');

socket.on('disconnect', () => {
  console.log('A user has disconnected');
  --currentUsers;
  io.emit('user count', currentUsers);
});

});
}).catch((e) => {
app.route('/').get((req, res) => {
res.render('pug', { title: e, message: 'Unable to login' });
});
});

function onAuthorizeSuccess(data, accept) {
console.log('successful connection to socket.io');

accept(null, true);
}

function onAuthorizeFail(data, message, error, accept) {
if (error) throw new Error(message);
console.log('failed connection to socket.io:', message);
accept(null, false);
}

http.listen(process.env.PORT || 3000, () => {
console.log('Listening on port ' + process.env.PORT);
});

Try using connect-mongo using the method I linked above: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66654037/mongo-connect-error-with-mongo-connectsession. You need to use this syntax for declaration: const MongoDBStore = require('connect-mongo'); const URI = process.env.MONGO_URI; const store = MongoDBStore.create({ mongoUrl: URI });

I am not sure if passport-socket.io will work for you as it did not for my set up so I suggest using this method to replace it: https://github.com/jfromaniello/passport.socketio/issues/148. Your tests may not even pass but if you run it, it should work perfectly fine if you follow those links.

Thank you.
