WebSocketController Question

[hanygg]

I'm having difficulty figuring out how to create a dynamic route, i.e. on the fly as the app is running, for a custom WebSocketController instance.

I want to spin up an instance of the custom web-socket controller with a path determined at run time. It is straightforward to create a web-socket controller when we know the paths in advance but seems to be anything but straightforward for the dynamic case.

It is possible there is a better way to handle this and I am looking for anyone that may of implemented the dynamic case.

I thought I had a solution but I get a runtime assert in the app().run() method for the variable routersInit_ and I don't see anywhere in the framework where this variable gets set to true, so it is very confusing.

Thanks

Created a custom web-socket controller. Removed the ADD_PATH macros. Added a custom registerSelf__(path, {}); within the constructor of the custom web-socket controller.

There's a websocket path adder with regex, I don't recall the name of the macro though

Yes, that's the approach I decided on. The macro is named WS_ADD_PATH_VIA_REGEX

It doesn't seem to be matching my regular expression however.

I've tried a number of variations of the following. The attempt is to match /ws/<>

WS_ADD_PATH_VIA_REGEX("/securechat/([0-9a-f]{8}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{12})");

or

WS_ADD_PATH_VIA_REGEX("/securechat/[0-9a-f]{8}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{12}");

This should match what I am expecting but it does not. Is there any way to check what the web socket is listening on?
