Python Flask Socketio BadNamespaceError while sending data to server

I'm trying to send data to server from client but I get bad namespace error.

I searched for the error but didn't find any solution... Can anyone point out what mistake I've done.

server side (app.py)

from flask import Flask, render_template, request, jsonify
from flask_socketio import SocketIO

app = Flask(__name__)
socket_app = SocketIO(app)

@socket_app.on('userdata', namespace='/test')
def username(data):
    print(data)
    print(request.sid)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    socket_app.run(app, debug=True, host='127.0.0.1', port=5000)

client side(client.py)

import socketio
sio = socketio.Client(engineio_logger=True)

data = {}
data['name'] = 'Mark'

sio.connect('http://127.0.0.1:5000')
sio.emit('userdata', data , namespace='/test')
sio.wait()

error

It looks like the OP figured out their own issue but when connecting to a non-default namespace you can specify it in the client connection:

sio.connect('http://127.0.0.1:5000', namespaces=['/test'])

I got this working by having the connect handler invoked in server.

@socket_app.on('connect', namespace='/test')
def test_connect():
    print("connected")
    emit('connect_custom', {'data': 'Connected'})

which then emits to client's connect_custom handler.

@sio.on('connect_custom', namespace='/test')
def on_connect(data):
    print('client contacted by server')
    print(data)
    data = {}
    data['name'] = 'Mark'
    sio.emit('userdata', data, namespace='/test')

sio.connect('http://127.0.0.1:5000')
