next.js socket.io useeffect not updating on socket message - sockets

Question

i'm facing an issue with my socket client on next.js . i have created a context for providing my socket instance for all components in the application , the problem is that when i want to use the socket context on my component i am using the useeffect hook be called once the socket is changed and i will handle on message call ( like any tutorial i have seen on the web ) but with new message on the socket the useeffect is not called at all . for those who may think this is context issue i should say its not i have tested socket initiation on the component itslef and still useeffect not being called .
here is the way im using the socket instance :
export default function MyComp(props){
const cookies = new Cookies()
const token = cookies.get('token');
const socket = io(routes.socket_url, { path: '/socket',
transports: ['websocket'],
query:{
token,
user_id:'someuserid'
}
});
useEffect(() => {
console.log('socket changed');
console.log(socket);
console.log('socket changed');
},[socket])
}
i can actually see the connection on my devtools and also see the message in the network tab so it means we have a connection (also checked on server ) but the console.log() part is never called on new messages .
and here is my component using the context .
export default function MyComp(props){
const socket = useContext(SocketContext);
useEffect(() => {
console.log('socket changed');
console.log(socket);
console.log('socket changed');
},[socket])
}
the connection in this one is also available in the devtools and it gets the new message on networks tab but the logging is never called in useeffect .
thank you for any help .

guys i found the answer . i was using socket.io-client v 3.1.1 and i started testing other versions . for some strange reason
in version 3 socket instance is not receiving any messages though the connection is already stablished and i can see the messages coming in the networks tab .
anyways i changed version from 3 to 2.1.1 and its working like a charm .
