This is my server.js code:
var express =require('express'),
http = require('http');
var app= express();
var server = require('http').createServer(app);
var io = require('socket.io').listen(server);
users = [];
connections = [];
server.listen(process.env.Port || 3000);
console.log('server running ...')
app.get('/', function(req, res) {
res.sendFile(__dirname + '/index.html');
});
io.sockets.on('connection', function(socket){
connections.push(socket);
console.log('Connected: %s sockets connected', connections.length);
socket.on('disconnect',function(data){
users.splice(users.indexOf(socket.username),1);
updateUsernames();
connections.splice(connections.indexOf(socket),1);
console.log('Disconnected: %s sockets conected', connections.length);
});
//send message
socket.on('send message', function(data){
console.log(data)
io.sockets.emit('new message',{msg: data, user: socket.username});
});
//new User
socket.on('new user', function(data,callback){
callback(true);
socket.username = data;
users.push(socket.username);
updateUsernames();
});
function updateUsernames(){
io.sockets.emit('get users', users)
}
});

I've been struggling for this for a while, is it something wrong with socket.io? Or is it something that I am doing wrong.
If there's something different I have to do, please let me know. I literally connect to the socket, and it spews out console logs.
As you can see in the picture, I want it to say Connected: 1 sockets connected after ONE person connections.
