socket.io-client: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

I'm trying to adapt a socket.io tutorial's example to my code, using the npm package socket.io-client.

After this attempt I've obtained the error:

Failed to load resource: the server http://localhost:3000/socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=polling&t=1451092774034-0 responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

Bellow the code:

the client

exactly as prescribed by the package developer

var socket = require('socket.io-client')('http://localhost:3000');

socket.on('news', function(data) {
  console.log(data);
  socket.emit('my other event', {
    my: 'data'
  });
});

the server

var express = require('express');
var app = express();

var server = require('http').Server(app);

var io = require('socket.io')(server);

app.use(express.static(__dirname+'/app'));

app.get('/', function(req,res){
  res.sendFile('index.html');
});

io.on('connection', function (socket) {
  socket.emit('news', { hello: 'world' });
  socket.on('my other event', function (data) {
    console.log(data);
  });
});


server.listen(process.env.PORT || 3000);

I suppose the problems is related with the line app.use(express.static(__dirname+'/app')) . However, I don't know how to use this suspection to workaround the problem.

I appreciate any help.

Problem solved. The related problem has to do with some conflicts with browsersync, as reported in this github's issue
