nodejs does not emit data to client

I have simple nodejs app with sockets and I've faced an error where I can't find any solution. So I'm emiting from app to client and nothing happens there. Or client can't receive it - I don't know, because I can't check if it was successfully emited to client. This is the error I got when I tried to debug callback of emit:
Error: Callbacks are not supported when broadcasting
This my app code:
http.listen(6060, function () {
console.log("Listening on *: 6060");
});
io.set('authorization', function (handshakeData, accept) {
var domain = handshakeData.headers.referer.replace('http://', '').replace('https://', '').split(/[/?#]/)[0];
if ('***' == domain) {
accept(null, true);
} else {
return accept('You must be logged in to take an action in this site!', false);
}
});
io.use(function (sock, next) {
var handshakeData = sock.request;
var userToken = handshakeData._query.key;
if (typeof userToken !== null && userToken !== 0 && userToken !== '0' && userToken.length > 0) {
connection.query('***',
[xssfilter.filter(validator.escape(userToken))],
function (error, data) {
if (error) {
debug('Cant receive user data from database by token');
next(new Error('Failed to parse user data! Please login!'));
} else {
// load data to this user.
_updateUsers(xssfilter.filter(validator.escape(userToken)), 'add', data[0], sock.id);
_loadPreData();
next(null, true);
}
});
} else {
debug('Cant receive user token');
next(new Error('Failed to parse user data! Please login!'));
}
sock.on("disconnect", function () {
_updateUsers(false, 'remove', false, sock.id);
});
});
// we need to show people online count
io.emit('online-count', {
count: Object.keys(connectedUsers).length
});
And the function used above:
function _updateUsers(userToken, action, userData, sockedID) {
switch (action) {
case 'add':
connectedUsers[sockedID] = {...};
io.emit('online-count', io.emit('online-count', {
count: Object.keys(connectedUsers).length
}););
break;
case 'remove':
delete connectedUsers[sockedID];
io.emit('online-count', io.emit('online-count', {
count: Object.keys(connectedUsers).length
}););
break;
}
}
so after emiting online-count I should accept it on the client side as I'm doing it:
var socket;
socket = io(globalData.socketConn, {query: "key=" + globalData.userData.token});
socket.on('connect', function (data) {
console.log('Client side successfully connected with APP.');
});
socket.on('error', function (err) {
error('danger', 'top', err);
});
socket.on('online-count', function (data) {
console.log('Got online count: ' + data.count);
$('#online_count').html(data.count);
});
but the problem is with this online-count.. Nothing happens and it seems that it's not was even sent from node app. Any suggestions?

The problem was with my logic - I was sending online count only if new user were connecting/disconnecting. Problem were solved by adding function to repeat itself every few seconds and send online count to client side.

Azure + Node Js Service bus persistent subscription of topic

Using node js i want to create persistent subscription for Azure service bus service topic. right now it is execute only once. Please guide me I am new to this. Thanks in advance. I am using following code to subscribe topic.
var azure = require('azure');
var azureConnection = "Endpoint=sb:My connection string"
var retryOperations = new azure.ExponentialRetryPolicyFilter();
var serviceBusService = azure.createServiceBusService(azureConnection).withFilter(retryOperations);
serviceBusService.receiveSubscriptionMessage('mytopic01', 'mytopicsub', function (error, receivedMessage) {
if (!error) {
// // // Message received and deleted
console.log(receivedMessage);
}
});
Also I don't want to use setInterval function. I want to solution if message publish to the topic it should automatically trigger subscription.

Actually, if your client application is an independent node.js application, we usually set up a cycle program to receive message from service bus in loop.
E.G.
var azure = require('azure');
var sbService = azure.createServiceBusService(<connection_string>);
function checkForMessages(sbService, queueName, callback) {
sbService.receiveSubscriptionMessage(queueName, { isPeekLock: true }, function (err, lockedMessage) {
if (err) {
if (err === 'No messages to receive') {
console.log('No messages');
} else {
callback(err);
}
} else {
callback(null, lockedMessage);
}
});
}
function processMessage(sbService, err, lockedMsg) {
if (err) {
console.log('Error on Rx: ', err);
} else {
console.log('Rx: ', lockedMsg);
sbService.deleteMessage(lockedMsg, function(err2) {
if (err2) {
console.log('Failed to delete message: ', err2);
} else {
console.log('Deleted message.');
}
})
}
}
setInterval(checkForMessages.bind(null, sbService, queueName, processMessage.bind(null, sbService)), 5000);
You can refer to the code sample in the similar scenario at GitHub provided by Azure Team.
Any further concern, please feel free to let me know.

Retrieve customer email from ID contained in webhook in Parse.com

I have an App using Parse.com as a backend and an external site that acts as my payment gateway. Upon receiving the customer/subscription webhook data from Stripe I wish to lookup the users email so I can then run a Cloud Code function and change their user status to 'paid'
My webhook receiver is:
Parse.Cloud.define("update_user", function(request, response) {
var data = request.params["data"]
var customer = data.object.customer;
response.success'Working' + request);
});
And I am able to get an email back from stripe from the customer ID using:
Parse.Cloud.define("pay", function(request, response) {
Stripe.initialize(STRIPE_SECRET_KEY);
console.log(JSON.stringify(request.params));
Stripe.Customers.retrieve(
customerId, {
success:function(results) {
console.log(results["email"]);
// alert(results["email"]);
response.success(results);
},
error:function(error) {
response.error("Error:" +error);
}
}
);
});
I need help turning this into a complete function that is run on receipt of every webhook from Stripe. I am also struggling with options for fallback if this does not work for whatever reason.
EDIT
Taking parts of the first answer and I now have:
Parse.Cloud.define("update_user", function(request, response) {
Stripe.initialize(STRIPE_SECRET_KEY);
var data = request.params["data"]
var customerId = data.object.customer;
get_stripe_customer(customerId, 100).then(function(stripeResponse) {
response.success(stripeResponse);
}, function(error) {
response.error(error);
});
});
function get_stripe_customer (customerId) {
Stripe.initialize(STRIPE_SECRET_KEY);
return Stripe.Customers.retrieve(
customerId, {
success:function(results) {
console.log(results["email"]);
},
error:function(error) {
}
}
);
};
My knowledge is really falling down on the Promise side of things and also the callback (success:, error, request response) etc further reading would be appreciated.
This is now working

Out of interest I did this:
Parse.Cloud.define("update_user", function(request, response) {
var data = request.params["data"]
var customerId = data.object.customer;
get_stripe_customer(customerId, 100).then(function(stripeResponse) {
return set_user_status(username, stripeResponse);
}).then(function(username) {
response.success(username);
}, function(error) {
response.error(error);
});
});
function get_stripe_customer (customerId) {
Stripe.initialize(STRIPE_SECRET_KEY);
return Stripe.Customers.retrieve(
customerId, {
success:function(results) {
// console.log(results["email"]);
},
error:function(error) {
}
}
);
};
function set_user_status(stripeResponse) {
Parse.Cloud.useMasterKey();
var emailquery = new Parse.Query(Parse.User);
emailquery.equalTo("username", stripeResponse['email']); // find all the women
return emailquery.first({
success: function(results) {
alert('running set_user_status success');
var user = results;
user.set("tier", "paid");
user.save();
},
error:function(error) {
console.log('error finding user');
}
});
};
open to improvements...
EDIT - I (#danh) cleaned it up a bit. A few notes:
used promises throughout. much easier to read and handle errors
get_stripe_customer requires only one param (that 100 was my idea to charge $100)
set_user_status appears to need only user email as param, which apparently is in the stripeResponse
set_user_status returns a promise to save the user. that will be fulfilled with the user object, not the username
be sure you're clear on how to identify the user. stripe apparently provides email address, but in your user query (in set_user_status) you compare email to "username". some systems set username == email. make sure yours does or change that query.
Parse.Cloud.define("update_user", function(request, response) {
var data = request.params["data"]
var customerId = data.object.customer;
get_stripe_customer(customerId).then(function(stripeResponse) {
var email = stripeResponse.email;
return set_user_status(email);
}).then(function(user) {
response.success(user);
}, function(error) {
response.error(error);
});
});
function get_stripe_customer(customerId) {
Stripe.initialize(STRIPE_SECRET_KEY);
return Stripe.Customers.retrieve(customerId).then(function(results) {
// console.log(results["email"]);
return results;
});
};
function set_user_status(email) {
Parse.Cloud.useMasterKey();
var emailquery = new Parse.Query(Parse.User);
emailquery.equalTo("username", email); // find all the women
return emailquery.first().then(function(user) {
user.set("tier", "paid");
return user.save();
}, function(error) {
console.log('error finding user ' + error.message);
return error;
});
}

Did a quick skim of the docs pertaining to stripe, and it looks like the steps are: (1) make a stripe REST-api call from your client side to get a token, (2) pass that token to a cloud function, (3) call stripe from the parse cloud to finish paying. I understand that you'd like to include a (4) fourth step wherein the transaction is recorded in the data for the paying user.
From the client (assuming a JS client):
var token = // we've retrieved this from Stripe's REST api
Parse.Cloud.run("pay", { stripeToken: token }).then(function(result) {
// success
}, function(error) {
// error
});
On the server:
Parse.Cloud.define("pay", function(request, response) {
var user = request.user;
var stripeToken = request.params.stripeToken;
payStripeWithToken(stripeToken, 100).then(function(stripeResponse) {
return updateUserWithStripeResult(user, stripeResponse);
}).then(function(user) {
response.success(user);
}, function(error) {
response.error(error);
});
});
Now we need only to build promise-returning functions called payStripeWithToken and updateUserWithStripeResult.
// return a promise to pay stripe per their api
function payStripeWithToken(stripeToken, dollarAmt) {
Stripe.initialize(STRIPE_SECRET_KEY); // didn't see this in the docs, borrowed from your code
return Stripe.Charges.create({
amount: dollarAmt * 10, // expressed in cents
currency: "usd",
card: stripeToken //the token id should be sent from the client
});
// caller does the success/error handling
}
// return a promise to update user with stripeResponse
function updateUserWithStripeResult(user, stripeResponse) {
var transactionId = // dig this out of the stripeResponse if you need it
user.set("paid", true);
user.set("transactionId", transactionId);
return user.save();
}

Problems with Queries in cloud code

Any ideas why this isn't working? It comes back with the success message but doesn't actually update anything.
I'm adding an FB user using Parse but since it doesn't have a func to add the username and email trying to do it this way. Any help much appreciated.
JS
Parse.Cloud.run("test", { objectId: "Q8XRUcL22N", name: "Rich", email: "rich#gmail.com"}, {
success: function(results) {
console.log(results);
},
error: function(error) {
console.log(error);
}
});
CLOUD CODE:
Parse.Cloud.define("test", function (request, response) {
Parse.Cloud.useMasterKey();
var uid;
var query = new Parse.Query("_User");
query.count({
success: function (results) {
uid = parseInt(results);
},
error: function () {
response.error("UID lookup failed");
}
});
var query = new Parse.Query(Parse.User);
query.equalTo("objectId", request.params.objectId);
query.first({
success: function (object) {
object.set("username", request.params.name);
object.set("email", request.params.email);
object.set("uid", uid);
var acl = new Parse.ACL();
acl.setPublicWriteAccess(false);
acl.setPublicReadAccess(false);
object.setACL(acl);
object.save();
response.success("Success Message");
},
error: function (error) {
response.error("Error Message");
}
});
});
Thanks

Calling success() or error() on the response halts whatever is underway at the time, including the save() on the user.
Also, it looks like you want to record in the user a count of users at the time the ACL is set. Getting the count must also be serialized with the other operations. (Also, please note that count is only good as an id "uid" to the extent the user count never goes down. What's wrong with the parse objects's id as an id?).
Most of the parse functions return promises, and using them is the only way to not go nuts trying to nest callbacks. So...
Parse.Cloud.define("test", function(request, response) {
Parse.Cloud.useMasterKey();
var uid;
var query = new Parse.Query(Parse.User);
query.count().then(function(count) {
uid = count;
return query.get(request.params.objectId);
}).then(function(object) {
object.set("username", request.params.name);
object.set("email", request.params.email);
object.set("uid", uid);
var acl = new Parse.ACL();
acl.setPublicWriteAccess(false);
acl.setPublicReadAccess(false);
object.setACL(acl);
return object.save();
}).then(function (object) {
response.success(object);
},function(error) {
response.error("Error Message");
});
});

Parse.com: getting UserCannotBeAlteredWithoutSessionError

I have an Angular service that takes in a roleId and userId and assigns the user to that role and make a pointer in User to that role.
app.service('CRUD', function () {
this.addUserToRole = function (roleId, userId) {
// first we have to find the role we're adding to
var query = new Parse.Query(Parse.Role);
return query.get(roleId, {
success: function (role) {
// then add the user to it
var Database = Parse.Object.extend("User");
var query = new Parse.Query(Database);
console.log(role);
return query.get(userId, {
success: function (user) {
console.log(user);
role.getUsers().add(user);
role.save();
// now we need to tell the user that he has this role
console.log(user);
user.attributes.role.add(role);
user.save();
return user;
},
error: function (err) {
return err;
}
});
},
error: function (err) {
console.log(err);
}
});
}
});
I'm getting {"code":206,"error":"Parse::UserCannotBeAlteredWithoutSessionError"} on user.save();
After some research, I arrived at this website. He uses this code snippet as a JS SDK example:
Parse.Cloud.run('modifyUser', { username: 'userA' }, {
success: function(status) {
// the user was updated successfully
},
error: function(error) {
// error
}
});
and mentions something about a useMasterKey() function.
I'm still unsure how to fix this error.

Add
Parse.Cloud.useMasterKey();
at the beginning of your function.

Set it up as a background job. That is the code snip you found I think and a simpler far more secure means of fondling users and roles
