So, since I started work back up on the Chat Extension, I've noticed that changing the settings doesn't seem to be affecting the extension at all. It just keeps using the default settings.

I'm not quite sure why this is yet, but I'll be working on it. I would appreciate any insights people have as to why this might be happening.

For some reason the extension treats the Tavern as a guild. This causes 2 minor issues:

1. The Tavern is listed both under "Regular Chatrooms" and "Guilds" in the list of groups.
2. Clicking on the Tavern from the chatbox sends you to it's 'guild page' rather than it's regular page

I installed from the Chrome extensions shop yesterday onto Chrome Version 56.0.2924.87. The extension installed cleanly, but when I click the link "Click here to link to your account," it opens the Habitica API Settings page and has no further effect.

This has persisted through refreshes of the Habitica site and browser restarts.

If the person name has a quotation mark in it like Jean'Claude when you click on the name it does not copy to the chat window.

@Nakonana (33bb14bd-814d-40cb-98a4-7b76a752761c) reported the problems below on
Windows 10, Firefox 74.0. I also see them on Ubuntu 18.04, Firefox 73.01.

"... I can't copy the username by clicking on it, the buttons don't work (copy, delete, report, like, info), CTRL+enter does not send messages...

"I tried reloading the page, disabling avatars, reducing message count limit to 50,12h time format, changing date format, and disabling all my other extensions but nothing changed.

"My extension settings are: use sound, use large text, confirm before deleting messages, minimize group list on load, message count limit = 200, pause chat after 60 minutes, date format: d-mm-yyyy, 24h time if that's of any help"

Hey,

For a few days I have been having issues with the extension not working. Today in the Tavern, someone else mentioned they had issues as well.

So I investigated it a bit. Turns out that when I select manual setup, my user ID is shown in both the User ID slot and the API key slot. I therefore tried changing it to the API token and reloaded. Then came the pop-up, saying that it was now linked (and the chat module shows up). But.. When I press OK for that pop-up, the website reloads and the whole issue repeats. User ID shown in both User ID and API key slot. I tried a few times, to be sure. Same issue each time.

"Click here to link your account" is not working either (I assume it's the same issue). I'm not sure if it has something to do with the fact that the API token is now "hidden" on the website, and that the extension therefore can't locate it? Just guesses.

For reference, I'm using Google Chrome, version 61.0.3163.100 (Officiel version) (64-bit).

Not something hugely important but I wanted to point it out

Edit: Also, I've been told that they can't click my name to autofill in a reply.

Habitica staff typically use Habitica on a staging site, for the purpose of giving upcoming features and fixes a bit of extra testing before deploying them to production. This extension, however, only displays its chatboxes on habitica.com proper. It'd be nice to have the extension activate on other Habitica domains' tabs, even if it's making requests against the production URL.

The staging site is protected by HTTP Basic Auth, so there's no great concern about non-staff accidentally getting at it via looking at extension options.

Not a huge deal, but it'd be nice ^^

The Firefox version of the extension had been rejected and is not available in the marketplace due to the following problems

The critical things to describe in the policy are how your extension collects, uses, stores, and shares or discloses information about people.If your add-on makes it apparent to websites that it is installed, this must also be mentioned. The policy should be about the extension only, not a copy of the website's privacy policy. It should also be the actual text, as opposed to a link to a privacy policy on a website.

• ^ this one will have to be handled by the Habitica staff

4. This add-on is creating DOM nodes from HTML strings containing potentially unsanitized data, by assigning to innerHTML, jQuery.html, or through similar means. Aside from being inefficient, this is a major security risk. For more information, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Safely_inserting_external_content_into_a_page .
   Here are some examples that were discovered:
   mainChat\chat_inPage.js line 147, 194, 199 and possible more.

The rationale for this is in HabitRPG/habitica#8066 and the chat extension should be consistent with the behaviour of the web app.

Possible related to issue #55 that was recently closed.

Able to select party chat window when not in a party. When selected the chat window just states loading with no ability to close the chat window other than selecting party from the group list.

This is a fairly minor issue, but when I scroll-wheel down to the bottom of a chat window's messages, once I have reached the bottom, scroll events start being passed through to the page behind it, causing it to scroll. Certainly not what I expected, which is that scrolling should've stopped when I reached the bottom.

Similarly, if I'm in the Send window composing a multi-line response and the scroll-bar appears, so long as there are lines above or below to scroll, the scroll-wheel will scroll the response, but as soon as it hits the top or bottom, scroll-wheel events pass to the window behind.

Thanks,
Ben

I hope it's fine to request features here.

Just like how clicking on a player's name in any chat opens their profile. I'd love the extension to have this feature as well. But seeing as clicking their names on the extension adds a @ mention (which is a great feature), I guess clicking on an avatar should show their profile.

We had to disable the AJAX calls the extension was making because from our logs it looked like it continuously made a lot of unauthenticated requests to the api (no user id or api key)

Description

When going to the URL Address https://habitica.com/apidoc/ I just get a continuous loading screen, that is it never shows itself.

(I have tried multiple times and the last attempt I waited over an hour for any results).

Example, the Book Lust guld has now url https://habitica.com/groups/guild/16b96e1b-0b59-4b49-b9a7-05f20ff760e6, but clicking on the guild name in the extension chat add simply #/options/groups/guilds/16b96e1b-0b59-4b49-b9a7-05f20ff760e6 at the end of current url, and so don't work.

Aerilita posted in the Report a Bug guild:
"My post appears void of likes on the website, but with a +1 via the chat extension."

I haven't looked at the extension's code, but my guess would be that it's treating false likes in the same way as true ones. I.e., when someone clicks the like button on a post, their plus-one is recorded in the message like this:

{
    "_id": "abcdefg1-2d2f-4f72-8bf6-abcdefgabcde",
    "text": "post goes here",
    "likes": {
        "12345678-6267-4e87-b989-123412345678": true
    },
    ...
}

But if they change their mind and click like again to remove their plus-one, the data in the message changes to this:

{
    "_id": "abcdefg1-2d2f-4f72-8bf6-abcdefgabcde",
    "text": "post goes here",
    "likes": {
        "12345678-6267-4e87-b989-123412345678": false
    },
    ...
}

If the extension is counting items in the likes object without checking if they're true or false, that would explain what Aerlita noticed. I suspect this is what's happening in the extension because exactly that bug appears in a chat tool that I wrote for myself. :)

The avatars don't display at all. You can still click the empty space to visit the player's profile. Uninstalling/reinstalling and clearing cache didn't help.

Hello,

When I hit @, I usually get a dropdown list of people within the group/party that I can choose to @mention. For ex:

Could that feature also be available within the chat windows provided by the extension?

Description

Due to Apps, limited ability to process markdown text with bullet points, you are required to put double carriage returns between each point so they appear correctly.

This appears fine in the Habitica Website Chat, however in the chat extension it puts a line break after the
bullet point. See example below:

Text typed

You can use your gold for either :

+ Buying new equipment

+ Items from the Enchanted Armoire 

+ Health potions

+ Party Cards! *Greeting, Thank You, Happy Birthday.*

+ Seasonal Items *These are either extra equipment, seasonal cards, special seeds to throw at your party members* 

+ Some Quest scrolls 

+ Custom rewards. That you decide what you want to buy with your gold! *An hour of TV, that favourite icecream! etc*

According to the Wiki page, Enter sends the message and Shift+Enter inserts new lines, but both combinations are inserting new lines for me. The only way to send the message is to manually click the "Send" button. Should Enter be sending messages?

There are reports of this occurring on chrome browsers

Description

Often when opening large guilds like the Tavern, Habitica Help or Report a Bug the chat system freezes. You are unable to interact with either the Chat or Habitica website. Often you are unable to close the tab, and your only options is to kill the browser process.

When it freezes it appears to have loaded the chat correctly, however the Avatar images appear to be still loading. (Only previous avatars appear from previous loaded chat windows).

Sometimes, the Avatar images loads successfully, but the icon fails to change from finger pointing to arrow, to allow you to interact with the site. In this instance, you are able to close the browser.

jConsole Error messages

Most of the time there is no-console error messages when the system freezes however occasionally the following messages show.

Throws an error, probably due to jQuery not being on the page.

See fellow post concerning the details.

Also if someone could let me know if I have done this correctly

Right now the add-on uses two copies of the same code to support multiple browser (Chrome and Firefox). This feels really ineficient. Double the work for each feature/bug fix.

There must be a better way to handle this. I don't have much experience building browser add-ons but this is worth investigating.
Maybe share the same core JavaScript files and use different sets of Manifest/Platform dependent files when "compiling" the extension.

This may also open the door to support more browsers easily.

When I click the Habitica Chat Extension icon in Chrome Version 56.0.2924.87, it looks like this:

It looks like there's a "Manual Setup" option at the bottom that would let me work around #25, but because the GitHub link sits on top of it, clicking it takes me to GitHub instead.

With the latest version of the Chat Client 2.2.6, you are unable to copy the user name by clicking on it.
This is an issue for both Chrome and Firefox versions.

Possible related to issue #55 that was recently closed.

We got an email from the Firefox Add-ons website (https://addons.mozilla.org/it/firefox/) letting us know that the extension can't be published as long as it contains minified code

This version contains obfuscated, minified, concatenated or otherwise machine-generated code. Please provide the original sources, together with instructions on how to generate the final XPI. Source code must be provided as an archive and uploaded using the source code upload field, which can be done during submission or on the version page in the developer hub

I think the issue comes from the presence of minified jquery code here, here and the markdown code here.

It'll have to be moved to separate files (jquery) and unminified before it can be published

I think that the Habitica inbuild chat is somewhat bad and I would hope thie extension to help me use it, but I use Firefox and it's only for Chrome.

However Firefox 57 only supports WebExtensions and I have understood them to be easy to port across web browsers and I hope that porting this one would be doable and not too much effort or out-of-scope.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to put this!

With the implementation of the new swear-word blocker, messages containing a banned word posted to the Tavern will be blocked from posting, and a pop-up will inform the user as to why it's blocked.

Messages posted to the Tavern through the chat extension are successfully blocked, but it triggers no pop-up.

Description

Avatars are no longer showing in the chat client. Not sure if it is an extension of the extra text we can see. (Looks like all 200).
See image below

This is what it use to look like but the Avatars would eventually show not just not display.

If it is could we have an option to turn it back on and have less text? It makes it easier for Socialite when answering questions based on how their Avatar is looking what level they are at without having to look up the stats. Also I like looking at everyone awesome costumes.

This bug occurs on the Chrome extension. I haven't tested for it on Firefox.

When my user account is not in a party, the chat pop-ups don't appear.

The console says:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'getElementsByTagName' of undefined for chat_inPage.js:862

When I click on the script name in that message, the console takes me to this line in the extension's source code:

var groupDIVs = document.getElementsByClassName('groupsBox_content')[0].getElementsByTagName("div");

When I join a party and reload the website, the extension then works as expected. If I leave the party and reload again, the same error as above reappears, so it does seem related to being in a party.

New site eliminated a global jQuery object, so the extension is broken.

It's impossible to use Manual Setup to link the Chat extension to Habitica account because it's impossible to select the link that is covered by the GitHub link. In combo with the automathic linking make the extension impossible to use

Workaround that is not really intuitive: it's possible to select the link using the tab key on the keyboard to move between links.

When 12-hour time is selected, midnight displays as 0:00 am (a little weird but still understandable), and noon displays as 12:00 am (confusing because 12 am is midnight).

When using markdown for bullet points, ie * or + at the beginning of the line. The chat client indents the bullet points squishing up the text. Please modify so it does not squish.

@crookedneighbor

Random spaces will sometimes appear in text after it posts to a chat. I was giving the benefit of the doubt that it may have just been me typoing, but it happened three times in a row with a copy/pasted link.

Even when "Disable Avatars for Faster Load" is unchecked, avatars don't appear for both me and other people. Tested in chrome and in firefox.

Add an option to hide system messages (ie buffs, quest progress etc) so only chat messages from users are displayed.
