matiaslina / matrix-client Goto Github PK

This ticket is similar to #8

Basically there are no methods for working with aliases. For example, getting a local address of a room is not possible.

See this:
https://github.com/matiaslina/perl6-matrix-client/blob/0a36a8735d99a5aafac7a522affccf403efa6e28/examples/bot.p6#L54

I'm not sure why it was added, IMO it shouldn't be there. I know very little about matrix, but I think that this loop can be written without sleeping (it is using long polling, right?). Perhaps it's a good idea to stick sleep 0.1 in there just in case, but generally it shouldn't be needed.

The code is basically:

say $client.joined-rooms».name;

Not sure why it happens, but I think it's because the room has no name.

Are presence events supported? I see that there's something but is it actually possible to toggle your own presence?

Problems with the current register method:

• Only create user accounts (missing guest accounts)
• Don't send the device-id if setted.
• Ignores initial_device_display_name parameter.

https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.3.0.html#post-matrix-client-r0-register

I think one simple yet common use case is to fire up the script just to send a single message to a particular room. An example for just that should be added to examples/ directory.

Hello, I guess E2E encryption is not yet supported?

What would take to implement it? Is there anything blocking it?

The parse-names is now named uniparse, as of Rakudo version 2017.12-10-ge5c38ad

The original parse-names will continue to work for some time. It will issue a deprecation warning when 6.d language will be released (around first half of 2018) and will be removed entirely in 6.e language.

More info: Raku/doc@bff42f80b1

Currently there's no documentation at all. I'd really appreciate if there were docs at least half as good as IRC::Client's docs.

I tried to install with

zef install Matrix::Client

Eventually I got this error:

[Matrix::Client] Could not find Matrix::Response

I'm new to Raku, so I'm unsure what's going on. 😅

Looking at the bot.p6 example:
https://github.com/matiaslina/perl6-matrix-client/blob/0a36a8735d99a5aafac7a522affccf403efa6e28/examples/bot.p6#L25-L27

So save-auth-data is called pretty much every time the script is exited.

However, looking at the source for save-auth-data:
https://github.com/matiaslina/perl6-matrix-client/blob/0a36a8735d99a5aafac7a522affccf403efa6e28/lib/Matrix/Client.pm6#L48-L56

As far as I understand access_token, user_id, and device_id should stay the same every run. I'm not sure about txn_id, is it used to make sure we don't receive events that were already received? If so, and if I'm writing a bot that actively responds to commands, wouldn't it be better to save the file every time transaction id is changed? Otherwise in case of an unhandled crash (e.g. a segfault) the bot will respond to the same event twice?

The problem was introduced in e03a435. Basically, method login has a return constraint (Bool), but the sub has this as the last line:

    $!device-id = $data<device_id>; 

So it ends up returning a Str (which fails).

Rooms may have an address in a form of e.g. #freenode_#whateverable:matrix.org. However, an address like this is not accepted in $client.join-room: …, and I have to use internal room id like !AZDMTOPHOfnSNBeubl:matrix.org. Why so? And is there any way to use the readable address?

I don't know if that's a new feature or not, but in Riot there's a Deactivate my account button that is supposed to ask the server to delete the account. Currently this is not available in Matrix::Client.

I'm trying to get the Room ID using get-room-id, so I can start sending messages to the right room only.

my $room-id = $client.get-room-id("#the-life-of-sjon:matrix.org");

However, I keep getting the following error message:

M_UNKNOWN: Expected RoomAlias string to start with '#'
  in method get at /home/tyil/projects/personal/perl6-Local-Sjon/../perl6-Matrix-Client/lib/Matrix/Client/Requester.pm6 (Matrix::Client::Requester) line 43
  in method get-room-id at /home/tyil/projects/personal/perl6-Local-Sjon/../perl6-Matrix-Client/lib/Matrix/Client.pm6 (Matrix::Client) line 316
  in sub MAIN at /home/tyil/projects/personal/perl6-Local-Sjon/lib/Local/Sjon.pm6 (Local::Sjon) line 27
  in block <unit> at bin/sjon line 4

This is confusing, as the string I'm passing does start with a #. Is there any way I can start looking to figure out where it's going wrong?
