Can't communicate between JS and ExtendScript

Question

I tried this: (according to the docs it should work)
In JS
var csInterface = new CSInterface();
csInterface.evalScript('$.test()', function(r){console.log(r)})
In JSX
$.test = function() {
                   alert("test");
                    return 65656;
I'm seeing the alert, but the logged statement is empty. Anyone know how to communicate between the two?

Answer 1

I tried a few ways but the only way I could do it properly was pretty involved:
1) Use Socket.io to communicate between generator and extension
2) When you want to raise an "event" from JSX, update generator settings, use a unique id for your event
3) Parse the event in generator
4) Emit the event from generator to extension.
