Code Review
An automated dependency upgrade for socket.io is proposed in this pull request. While the change addresses a security vulnerability, it involves a major version bump from v2 to v4. This introduces several significant breaking changes that are not addressed in the current pull request. As it stands, the changes will lead to application failures. My review highlights the critical modifications required to ensure compatibility with the new version of socket.io.

This upgrade from socket.io v2 to v4 is a major change with significant breaking changes that are not addressed in this PR. Applying this change alone will break the application.
Here are the critical issues that need to be addressed:
-
Incompatible Redis Adapter:
socket.io-redis@^5.2.0is not compatible withsocket.iov4. You need to migrate to@socket.io/redis-adapter. This will require:- Removing
socket.io-redisfrom dependencies. - Adding
@socket.io/redis-adapterand a Redis client likeredis. - Updating the adapter initialization logic in
lib/io.js(lines 125-133). The new adapter setup is different. The testredis adapter works okintest/io.test.jswill fail without this change.
- Removing
-
Incompatible
generateIdfunction:socket.iov4 expectsengine.generateIdto be an asynchronous function. The current implementation inlib/io.js(lines 140-144) explicitly checks for and assigns a synchronous function, which will cause issues. The testshould customize generateId works okwill fail. -
Acknowledgement Callback Signature Change: The signature for acknowledgement callbacks has changed in
socket.iov3+ to be error-first:(error, ...args). The existing controller and middleware logic might not be compatible with this new signature, potentially leading to subtle bugs in event acknowledgements.
Because of these breaking changes, this PR cannot be merged as-is. It requires further changes to ensure compatibility with socket.io v4.
