brettstimmerman / jabber-bot Goto Github PK

Hi,

I use jabber-bot to (basically) execute some shell commands, and return the output to the user.

The output sometimes contains bash color codes, and when I try to return this output, the jabber-bot goes offline without any error message, but the script still running (and doing nothing).

That error was really hard to find out.

For now I solved it (for my case) by a

output.gsub(/\x1b\[.{1,5}m/, '').gsub(/\x1b\[K/, '');

Before returning the command output.

To help others to not get into the same problem, maybe jabber-bot should "disarm" strings sent back to the server (or at least raise an exception when it fails).

Program using jabber-bot gem will cause 100% CPU usage by ruby interpreter in case one of the masters' jid is on the server which is currently unavailable due to network conditions.

Hi, this is not really an issue but more me being a newbie, but I can't find any ressources, I've never heard of ruby gems in the past, I'm documenting myself but I'm no dev.

Could you help me understand how to install and get this bot to work ? I've installed rubygems (I'm under devuan jessie GNU/Linux) and also I found jabber::simple (aka xmpp4-something) and git cloned the two repositories, I then tried a lot of ruby commands:
ruby build
ruby rake
...
but I just don't get it. What do I need to do to build from the sources ?

Thanks in advance for any help.
