Works on private chat, restarts the bot in group chat about hubot-cron HOT 3 OPEN

Yes, i need further information :) There's no code in this script that initiates a restart, so i guess there's a problem in the XMPP library, or a message causes runtime exception that somehow causes a restart, i don't know.

If you can capture what is causing the exception or a stacktrace that would be useful.

Here is what seems to have happened, and here is how i fixed it,

When I created a job from a group chat, this is the requesting user(some fields blurred)
@envelope.user = {"id":"Sam Mcgotes","room":"[email protected]","jid":"[email protected]/Sam Mcgotes","name":"Sam Mcgotes","type":"groupchat","privateChatJID":"[email protected]/SamMcgotes-Macbook","roles":[]}
When it does robot.send @envelope, @message it fails and restarts the bot.

When I created a job from private chat,
@envelope.user = {"id":"smcgotes","name":"smcgotes","type":"chat","privateChatJID":"[email protected]/SamMcgotes-Macbook","roles":[]}
When it does robot.send @envelope, @message it works.

I have changed the sendMessage logic to do this:
sendMessage: (robot) ->
try
if @envelope.user.type == 'groupchat'
@user = robot.brain.userForId 'broadcast'
@user.room = @envelope.user.room
@user.type = 'groupchat'
robot.send @user, @message
else
robot.send @envelope, @message
catch error
console.warn("Error caught: #{error}");

So now if it is a group chat, it will try to send a broadcast message to the room.

Did not get a chance to dive deep in why the robot.send fails for group chat user.

That's odd and it feels like there's an issue with envelope API on xmpp hubot adapter.
