      Hi,

      I am new to node.js.I am trying to create new sample module “test”.I am sending notification from test module to node_helper and trying to receive notification back to test module.From test module to node_helper notification works fine, but test module does not receive any notification from node_helper.

      Here is my module code:
      test.js:

      Module.register("test",{
      
      	defaults:{
      		text:"Happy Birthday!!!!"
      	},
      	
      	getDom: function() {
      		var wrapper = document.createElement("div");
      		wrapper.innerHTML =this.config.text;
      		return wrapper;
      	},
      	
      	start:function(){
      		this.sendSocketNotification("main",{message:"test1"});
      	},
      	
      	
      	socketNotificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
      		console.log('socketNotificationReceived() in main module..'+notification);
      		if (notification === "test2") {
      			console.log('test2 socket notification received...');
      		}
      	}
      	
      });
      
      

      Here is node_helper.js:

      var NodeHelper = require("node_helper");
      
      module.exports = NodeHelper.create({
      	// Override start method.
      	start: function() {
      		
      	},
      
      	// Override socketNotificationReceived method.
      	socketNotificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
      		var self=this;
      		console.log('*Starting socketNotificationReceived()*'+notification);
      		if (notification === "main") {
      			console.log(notification+' socket notification received...');
      			this.function1();
      		}
      	},
      	
      	function1:function(){
      		console.log('inside function1');
      		this.sendSocketNotification("test2",{message:"test2"});
      	}
      });
      

      Here is config.js:

      var config = {
      	port: 8080,
      	ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1"], // Set [] to allow all IP addresses.
      
      	language: "en",
      	timeFormat: 24,
      	units: "metric",
      
      	modules: [
      		
      		{
      			module: "test",
      			position: "top_right"
      		}
              ]
         };
      
      

      I am stuck there since last 3-4 days.If something is missing or wrong please correct me.Any help appreciated
