laravel Broadcasting in private channels is not working.( cant subscribe to private channels automaticaly)

• Echo Version: 1.10.0
• Laravel Version: 8.4.0
• PHP Version: 7.4
• NPM Version: 6.14.6
• Node Version: 4.1.0
• pusher/pusher-php-server: 4.1.5
• pusher-js: 7.0.3

Description:

I use pusher and laravel-echo to create chat app in laravel. public Channels work properly.

I use pusher.com debug console and I realized in PrivateChannel laravel-echo can’t subscribe users to Available private channels automaticaly. notice that commented codes is for public channel.

App\Events\ChatBroad.php is:

    public function broadcastOn()
    {
        //        return new channel('recieve-chat.' . $this->chat['reciever_id']);
        return new PrivateChannel('recieve-chat.' . $this->chat['reciever_id']);
    }

routes/channels.php is:

Broadcast::channel('recieve-chat.{reciever_id}', function ($user , $reciever_id) {
      return true;
   // return $user->id == $reciever_id;

});

and in App\Providers\BroadcastServiceProvider i use this middleware:

Broadcast::routes(['middleware' => ['auth']]);

bootstrap.js is:

import Echo from 'laravel-echo'

window.Pusher = require('pusher-js');

window.Echo = new Echo({
    broadcaster: 'pusher',
    key: '83b97539662b786ffabb',
    cluster: 'eu',
    forceTLS: true,
    authEndpoint: '/broadcasting/auth',
    csrfToken: $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content'),
});

blade view file:

        <script src="{{asset('js/app.js')}}"></script>
        <script>
            {{--window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded' , function () {--}}
            {{--    Echo.channel('recieve-chat.{{Auth::id()}}' )--}}
            {{--        .listen('ChatBroad', (e) => {--}}
            {{--            window.livewire.emit('recieve:' + e.chat.bid_id , e.chat);--}}
            {{--            $(chatScrollDown('.chat'+ e.chat.bid_id ));--}}
            {{--        });--}}
            {{--});--}}

        window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded' , function () {
            Echo.private('recieve-chat.{{Auth::id()}}' )
                .listen('ChatBroad', (e) => {
                    window.livewire.emit('recieve:' + e.chat.bid_id , e.chat);
                    $(chatScrollDown('.chat'+ e.chat.bid_id ));
                });
        });
    </script>

Hey can you please re-share that repo ? I have the same issue

Okay I got it working. A couple of things:

• This env variable needs to be set to pusher (see the docs): https://github.com/farshidahmadianpin/laravel-echo/blob/main/.env.example#L17
• It’s best that you move this piece of code inside your JS files (in the app.js file for example): https://github.com/farshidahmadianpin/laravel-echo/blob/main/resources/views/cart.blade.php#L28-L34
• I needed to remove the ['middleware' => ['auth']] here. Not sure why you added that. https://github.com/farshidahmadianpin/laravel-echo/blob/main/app/Providers/BroadcastServiceProvider.php#L17
• It’s best that you define these with mix keys and define the env keys in your .env file (see the docs): https://github.com/farshidahmadianpin/laravel-echo/blob/main/resources/js/bootstrap.js#L15-L16

Hope that helps.
