Nicks in nick list do not resemble nicks in message buf about weechat-matrix HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi there.

Some fixes for this landed in the olm-command branch. Please check that out before doing any fixes since that branch became the main development branch for quite some time. Note that you'll need nio for that branch to work. Once I sufficiently document nio the olm-command branch will be merged with master.

The best way to do development with nio is to symlink the cloned nio repository into your ~/.weechat/python folder. That way changes to the lib are immediately picked up by weechat after a script reload.

As for nick handling stuff is still missing, for example display names aren't really used, and any help is welcome.

Nice, thanks. After stumbling for a bit to get your nio and python-olm packages built/installed on Arch, I am now successfully running your olm-command branch and the nicks appear sane now :)

This isn't really related to the original thing I reported, but since I don't think it warrants a new 'issue' (and I know of no other way to get ahold of you to ask):

What is your workflow developing this script for weechat? Can you run a debugger (e.g. pdb)? (being able to do that would help me to pick apart the code and figure out what changes I might need to make for, e.g., the display name thing)

from weechat-matrix.

Sadly pdb can't be run inside of weechat (or at least I don't know how). Changes to nio ideally include logging and tests, those can be done non-interactively and offline quite easily.

For weechat it's a little bit harder, I included settings to enable debugging, those messages can be helpful. If I'm doing some protocol changes i set up a proxy for the connection and use mitmproxy to check the traffic. Proxies work for the matrix script in the same way as for the irc plugin.

Utilizing display names has two problems for now:

• Display names can change and nick changes aren't implemented yet
• Display can be maliciously set up, to e.g. collide, be annoyingly long

The first one is relatively easy to solve the second one needs to be figured out how to deal with them. Note collisions are already somewhat handled since i don't use the full mxid for nicks. If a collision happens the second nick gets a full mxid.

Anyways the code that handles user adding is here.

If you have further questions feel free to ask here or via mail. There is also a room set up for development: #weechat-matrix:termina.org.uk
