server.on("connection", ...) returns the server instance instead of the client socket instance

[brian-mann]

Per this library it doesn't seem possible to simulate socket.io clients emitting events.

I can only emit events from the server.

var Server = require("mock-server").Server
var mockServer = new Server("http://localhost:1111")

mockServer.on("connection", function(socket){
  // socket === mockServer
  // this makes no sense. socket should be the
  // client socket which connected, not the server.

  // in the real socket.io lib, socket is the client instance
})

In my code, I attach event listeners to the socket which connected, and I'm trying to simulate those. Is this possible using another method?

@brian-mann Sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this and thanks for opening the issue. Could you attach the test that you are trying to write so I can use that as a test case?

This is still true, and for WebSocket as well. To be able to work with apollo subscriptions-transport-ws ( apollographql/subscriptions-transport-ws#374 ) I've created a hacky fork ( master...lgandecki:master ) for now, since it looks like you are rewriting this significantly I didn't think it was worth adding tests around it (although I haven't broken any).

Could you tell me a bit what's your plan here? Are you going to push with the rewrite? Or have you decided to stay with the current architecture?

Any updates on this?
