websocket rails pushing using channel

Question

I am trying to use a pushing mechanism using websocket-rails gem in ROR application.

I have basically done the folowing.

my application.js

//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require websocket_rails/main

$(function(){

  // connect to server like normal
  var dispatcher = new WebSocketRails('localhost:3000/websocket');

  // subscribe to the channel
  var channel = dispatcher.subscribe('products');

  // bind to a channel event
  channel.bind('new', function(data) {
    console.log('channel event received: ' + data);
  });
});

then I started thin server at port 3000

Then I from rails console, I entered the following command.

WebsocketRails[:products].trigger(:new, Product.last)

But nothing was printed in browser console.

Have I missed some setup configuration?

Thanks

I came across this too. The documentation says:

Broadcast to the channel from anywhere inside your Rails application. An existing controller, a model, a background job, or a new WebsocketRails controller.

i.e. no mention of the console.

In my experience, it works exactly as described fine from the controller though.

It is true, I have the same problem and it works fine when I put the code in a controller.

I know this question is quite old, but there is some update on the project, so for everyone coming here in the future, now using Synchronization between instances events can be triggered from everywhere, even from rails console.

Add this to your config/initializers/websocket_rails.rb

WebsocketRails.setup do |config|
  config.synchronize = true
end
