errbotio / errbot Goto Github PK

Hi,

I am trying to get err working with custom domain (as in Google App) but I am unable to find some good place to start. Can you share minimally how to get started for using GTalk? An example config-template.py would be great if you can help.

Thanks!

Err sometimes gets kicked for flooding on our channel, it would be nice if there was an auto reconnect option

typing !help in irc results in an unhandled error

I'm running errbot on EC2 connecting to hipchat. The bot keeps dying multiple times a day. I see the following error message in the ERROR log. Is there a timeout option available in config.py?

I could get around this by using monit or some other process watcher, however the pid doesn't get killed, the bot just disconnects and the pid stays forever.

Occasionally my ERR bot drops out of our teams main HIPCHAT channel and doesn't return. I have to open a private message and restart him in order to get him to come back.

as you test you often retype the same things, it would help also

When updating a plugin, the requirements should be verified again.

Right now the way we for example switch to test or graphical mode is plain hideous.

We should make a clear backend API so we can also implement bridges to other services like Campfire, IRC etc...

Hello, I've been experimenting with err bot a little and found this odd error.

After "correct installation" of this plugin:

[00:11:38] <me> !install err-gitbot
[00:11:38] <bot JID> A new plugin repository named err-gitbot has been installed correctly from git://github.com/gbin/err-gitbot.git. Refreshing the plugins commands...
[00:11:38] <bot JID> Plugin reload done.

This is what has been logged. Apparently, plugin does not work.

2012-06-29 00:11:38,039 INFO received command = install matching [install] with parameters [err-gitbot]
2012-06-29 00:11:38,961 WARNING Unable to execute the code in plugin: /tmp/err/plugins/err-gitbot/gitBot
2012-06-29 00:11:38,961 INFO Activating all the plugins...

However, err-gitbot repository has been cloned correctly. Also, with err-gitbot in plugins folder, this is what happened after restarting the bot (first two lines of the log):

2012-06-29 00:02:35,068 WARNING Unable to execute the code in plugin: /tmp/err/plugins/err-gitbot/gitBot
2012-06-29 00:02:35,069 INFO Start Connection ...........

I tried to trace this warning. However, I wasn't able to find where is this warning logged and what caused this error.
I tried to install err-stalkerbot and err-calcbot and no such errors occured in those cases.

Env:
Python 2.7.3, dependencies installed by pip into separated virtualenv, OS X 10.6.8

The same error is occuring on up-to-date (28. 6. 2012) Arch Linux, python 2.7.3

Connected to Hipchat ( -d -H) with and w/out Async enabled. All command responses are doubled. For example, if I !help, I get two separate and complete help responses back. Cranking the log files down to DEBUG do not seem to provide any clues for why that is.

perhaps the solution would be to prefix them by the pluginname in case of clash

On first start err creates "plugins" directory in /var/lib with 0777 rights. I think this is unsafe and should be changed at least to 0755.

Checked in Gentoo, err-1.2.1. Ebuild in my overlay(branch err) fix(actually, just workaround) this issue by creating directory itself before err's first run. But i think that it should be fixed in upstream by setting proper umask in err itself.

From @bubba-h57 : I'm also having some problems getting him to run is -H -d options. I end up using nohup in order to get him going.

I get time outs when running the bot on HipChat:

ERROR:conn.Process exception

I think that !install should checks for existance of git binary in case of installing plugins from git repos. Now if git does not installed installing plugin from git repo triggers only "No such file or directory" message. It can be hard for user to understand which file he does not have :-)

me

Has anyone gotten 1.6 installed on ubuntu 12.04? A bunch of the dependencies are busted (twisted, pyside, etc). I need to update to 1.6 to bypass a timeout issue, but still not having much luck.

thanks

it forces people to have this parameter :)
or perhaps make an ignore mark like _TEST_ROOM

After a long (estimate a few hours) network outage, my errbot instance failed to reconnect. Looking at the output, it had been attempting to reconnect every 10 minutes for a long time. However, at some point, one of these reconnection attempts began and nothing happened from that point on - possibly it had hung.

I have no further debug info available on this occasion. Wondering if perhaps there's some kind of resource leak in that reconnect/didn't work/wait 10 minutes/try again cycle that caused it to eventually fail.

Is there a timeout option for err? I'm running err on ec2 and it keeps dying. I see this when I turn the ERROR logging on.

I suppose ignoring this call or return warning would be more appropriate. :)

Apophys

this prevents a group chat from being flooded with errs help

I really need to be able to configure the command prefix (currently '!') to something else, as is common with most bots. The most common use case of this is to allow it to coexist with other bots in the same room, by all of them using a different prefix. Another use case, which is driving me, is that I'm talking privately to an instance of err via a touchscreen smartphone, where accessing '!' for every command is slightly painful, but '.' would be much nicer.

Happy to do the work for this and submit a pull request, but to do it right involves trivial but numerous changes, because currently the '!' is hard-coded into every help string, etc. I though I'd see what you think about making that change first, rather than just submitting a "changes every file" request.

to be sure the current directory is working as root of err dev tree

I have no clue as where the could be happening :(

It can give you some nasty surprises after testing your plugin

should maybe have a global catch in BotPlugin (super) that does that.

When connecting to HipChat, you can have the bot identify itself as such by sending a special caps node (XEP-0015). See the wobot implementation here: cjoudrey/wobot#16

Right now the main benefit of this is that the session will display as a bot on hipchat.com/account/sessions, but in the future we may begin allowing special behavior for bots. :)
