#239 no group list for Office Communicator protocol in Adium

[EdA]

I'm using SIPE with adium to connect up to my company's internal chat service ( lync-2010, I think ).

I can auth in and chat to individuals just fine, but whenever I go to pull up the list of group-chat rooms, the list is empty.

If I try to File->Join Group chat it opens a mostly empty window that only shows my own Office Communicator account.. There's no listing of rooms.

I don't seem to be able to join a room with a known name by using the File -> New Chat dialog either.

I just built the latest adium (1.7hg) from Source, and I'm using SIPE 1.18.0 . I downloaded the latest bundle from here, and just installed the pre-built adium plugin.

Adium does not have a UI to provide a room list. This is not a problem of SIPEAdiumPlugin.

As for the "Join Group" UI: this has already been fixed in commit 081112e.

Closing as FIXED.

[EdA]

I appreciate what you're saying.

I see the directions for building the latest plugin in the git repo..

without the dialog, how should I connect to a group chat?

[Stefan Becker]

You'll have to enter the ma-chan://... URI into the "Chat Group URI" text field.

[EdA]

Where would I find that dialog?

I've built the latest plugin in xcode from git, and it's loaded into adium.

File->Join Group Chat opens a dialog where i can choose the account from a
<select> list </select> ( or however you express that.. There's no place to
drop in the ma-chan URI.

File -> New Chat will let me put in the URI, but it crashes immediately
when i type in the chat window that this action opens.

Thanks for your help. I'm running pidgin on a linux box over ssh right now,
and it's not ideal.

Please don't reply to the email, use the web frontend to enter your answers. Thanks.

File -> Join Group, then select your office communicator account and then you'll have under the combo box one text field named "Chat Room URI" (I think that is what I named it). Enter the ma-chan:// there.

If you don't have that, then I guess you didn't compile git HEAD of the mob branch. Most likely you only checked out the default (fixxer) which always points to the last release.

[EdA]

yeah, I was building off the fixer branch.

Now that I've rebuilt off of remotes/origin/mob.. I do not have File -> Join Group, and the File->Group Chat dialog still has the <select> select list of accounts <, but no place for me to enter the URI for a chat room.

$ git branch -a

• (detached from origin/mob)
  fixer
  remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/fixer
  remotes/origin/fixer
  remotes/origin/mob

[Stefan Becker]

I'm out of ideas what might be wrong. When I wrote the code and tested it, it was working.

[EdA]

I can't reply via the web interface on this bug anymore. :-(

I did the git reset, and i see the commit referenced above in the log.

Should i see that input box in the copy of adium that opens when xcode
finishes the build?

I am happy to build/test/try and debug .. I don't know C#, or how to enable
debug in xcode, but willing to try.

I can't get you an account here on our chat server, but i would if i could.

[Stefan Becker]

I guess you have to use COMMAND-R (or was it -D?) to run the compiled version from inside X code in the debugger.

[EdA]

Well, thanks for trying to walk me through it.

If you ever need a secondary tester for this effort, I'd love to help.

[Stefan Becker]

The bigger problem is that I don't have any permanent test account on an installation with Group Chat enabled. I.e. I could only test on my loaner Mac that the UI worked and the "join group" request ends up somewhere in the core where it is supposed to go.

Any volunteers? :-)

[Stefan Becker]

Just to make sure that your git repo is correct:

:::sh
$ git reset --hard HEAD
$ git clean -xfd
$ git checkout -b mob --track origin/mob
$ git pull
Already up-to-date.
$ git status
On branch mob
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/mob'.

nothing to commit, working directory clean
$ git log --oneline -n20
