I would appreciate any assistance to resolve this issue.

It looks like the following change silently changed the minimum version of socket.io-adapter that's required:

Some package managers will automatically install required peer dependencies. Mine did not; I ran yarn add socket.io-adapter && yarn dedupe && yarn remove socket.io-adapter, and now things work correctly.

@nwalters512 arf, I did not test with yarn, sorry for that.

@govind-amt which version of socket.io-parser package (imported by both socket.io and @socket.io/redis-adapter) is installed?

I get same error, I used socket.io-adapter@2.5.2 and @socket.io/redis-adapter@8.3.0

[darrachequesne]

@vvtri that's weird, you should have socket.io-adapter@2.5.4. Could you please try running npm update socket.io-adapter to see if it fixes your issue?

[xtrinch]

Yeah same issue here, it installs socket.io-adapter@2.5.2. Even pinning it to 2.5.4 in package.json doesn't help
Setting

  "resolutions": {
    "socket.io-adapter": "2.5.4"
  }

in package.json works and fixes the issue
