not working using express 4.16.1

[reashetyrr]

Hi,

ive tried to make the express-ws work with express 4.16.1

im using packages:
"cookie-parser": "~1.4.4",
"debug": "~2.6.9",
"express": "~4.16.1",
"express-session": "^1.17.0",
"express-ws": "^4.0.0",
"glob": "^7.1.6",
"morgan": "~1.9.1",
"mysql": "^2.18.1",
"nunjucks": "^3.2.0",
"webdav": "^3.2.0"

the code ive tried is:

app.ws('/socket/media_files', function (ws, req) {
    ws.on('message', async msg => {
        const file_object = JSON.parse(msg);
        ws.send(`data:${file_object.mime};base64,${await client.getFileContents(file_object.filename, {format: 'text'})}`);
    })
});
app.ws('/socket', function(ws, req) {
    ws.on('message', function(msg) {
        ws.send(msg);
    });
});```

ive also tried using the router but that also fails missirably, the issue i have is that i always get a 200 status request back
