upnpSearch

[pl7y]

When performing some sequential upnpSearch (e.g. to force reconnection upon link going down), node.js EventEmitter gives up since it reaches the maxListeners limit.

(node) warning: possible EventEmitter memory leak detected. 11 listeners added. Use emitter.setMaxListeners() to increase limit.

I tracked down the cause to be a process.on statement at the end of SSDPSearch function in search.js.
Commenting down lines 57-61 removes the warning, but I'd like to retain the 'exit' cleansing idea, how can I do it?

Thanks for the info, I need to fix this to only register the process.exit listener once, if it is called multiple times during execution. All the existing tests only perform a single lookup, so I missed this one.

I would suggest that you utilise the other search function, as this SSDP lookup is a throw back to before Phillips provided the discovery service, which should work better in most cases.

I am not at a computer with Node.js at the moment, but I think you could change the code at 57-61 to something like this;

if (!exitFunction) {
        exitFunction = function () {
            if (!self.closed) {
                _close(self);
            }
        };
        // Clean up if close is not called directly
        process.on("exit", exitFunction);
    }

And put a line at line 8 in the file with:

var exitFunction;

I think that would prevent it from registering multiple times in your app.

I need to put together a test case for this when I get back to a machine I can develop on.

Thank you very much, tomorrow i will try it (it's night here)!

Can the other search function be used without a internet connection?

Ah, no, the other function uses the Internet to connect with the hue discovery service, so you are stuck with the SSDP way then.
