node.js - Socket.io auto disconnect after 2 hours of inactivity not working -

i'd disconnect users socket.io after 2 hours of inactivity , give them prompt / reconnect button.

firstly, have set auto reconnect false , variable forcedc:

var socket = io.connect('https://coinchat.org:443',{secure: true, reconnect: false}); var forcedc = false; 

next, have time out inactivity reset when moves mouse:

$("body").mousemove(function(e){     cleartimeout(dctimeout);     dctimeout = settimeout(function(){         if(!forcedc){             forcedc = true;             socket.disconnect();             $("#dcmodal").modal('show');         }     }, 1000 * 60 * 60 * 2); }); 

basically, forcedc means user disconnected due inactivity , browser should not refresh page try , reconnect. if forcedc false, means user disconnected due network issues / server restarts, , browser should refresh page reconnect.

now, when socket disconnected:

socket.on("disconnect", function(data){     if(!forcedc){         settimeout(function(){document.location.reload(true)}, 1000 + math.random()*12750);     } }); 

the page should refresh if forcedc false. however, page refreshes if user has been "disconnected" due inactivity (i know forcedc = true has been executed, see disconnected modal).

what doing wrong?

i believe dctimeout never gets cleared via 'cleartimeout(dctimeout);". hence, dctimeout gets executed , forcedc becomes true.

possible solution: declare dctimeout global variable along forcedc. here's jsfiddle link test code reference.

function communication() {      var socket = io.connect('http://localhost:8080',{reconnect: false});   socket.on('connect', function () {        var forcedc = false;       var dctimeout = null;        console.log("connected server!");        socket.on('news', function (data) {          console.log(data);       });        socket.on("disconnect", function(data){            console.log("disconnected..")           if(!forcedc){               console.log("forcedc false , socket has been disconnected");               settimeout(function(){                   console.log("reloading document in 2 seconds");                   //document.location.reload(true)               }, 2000);           }       });        document.onmousemove = function(e){            console.log("mouse movement detected");           cleartimeout(dctimeout);           dctimeout = settimeout(function(){               if(!forcedc){                   forcedc = true;                   console.log("disconnecting...setting true");                   socket.disconnect();                   //$("#dcmodal").modal('show');                   console.log("disconnected! want reconnect?");               }           }, 5000 * 1);       }   }); }
