Works in express but No session found error

[tzvc]

Hi there,

I have an issue, when I try to connect my websocket through passport.socket.io I keep getting a no session found error. However, when I look at the log, it seems that i'm receiving the session cookie properly and it is valid (the same session is used in express and it work there)

What am I missing here?

My server code:

const SESSION_SECRET = "coolkidsrunlinux";
const SESSION_ID_NAME = "session_cookie";

try {
        var sessionStore = new MongoDBStore({
                uri: "mongodb://localhost/connect_mongodb_session_test",
                collection: "mySessions"
        });
} catch (error) {
        console.error("Error setting up mongoDB session store");
        throw error;
}

app.use(cookieparser());
app.use(
        session({
                secret: SESSION_SECRET,
                name: SESSION_ID_NAME,
                key: SESSION_ID_NAME,
                store: sessionStore,
                proxy: true,
                resave: false,
                saveUninitialized: true
        })
);

io.use((socket, next) => {
        console.log(JSON.stringify(socket.handshake));
        return next();
});

io.use(
        passportSocketIo.authorize({
                cookieParser: cookieparser, // the same middleware you registrer in express
                key: SESSION_ID_NAME, // the name of the cookie where express/connect stores its session_id
                secret: SESSION_SECRET, // the session_secret to parse the cookie
                store: sessionStore, // we NEED to use a sessionstore. no memorystore please
                success: onAuthorizeSuccess, // *optional* callback on success - read more below
                fail: onAuthorizeFail // *optional* callback on fail/error - read more below
        })
);

my client code (dart)

      var wsOptions = <String, dynamic>{
        'transports': ['websocket'],
        'query': "conversation_id=${_conversation.id}",
        'extraHeaders': {
          "Cookie": "session_cookie=${cookies["session_cookie"]}",
          "conversation_id": _conversation.id,
        }
      };
      print(wsOptions);
      _socket = io("$API_ROOT", wsOptions);

Upon connection, when I log the socket.handshake i get this which seems to indicate that the session is received

Hi @theochampion you resolve this issue? I have the exact same error here. I notice that I don't have anything on the session collection so I suppose that is the problem of MongoStore and not an issue of passport.socketio but I don't know.
