Let Identify/Login run before joining channels on reconnect...

[AlbinoGeek]

As it is now, channel rejoin happens immediately upon reconnect (from system resume, etc.) -- which means that joining channels with a +r literally doesn't work, as you are redirected to some other channel, and as a result, the chat log is cleared. Couple this with the fact the client has no real chat log, and you have a destructive experience.

It defeats the entire purpose of having the client save my NickServ / IDENT password.

Hello.

Let Identify/Login run before joining channels on reconnect

I thinks Srain already act like this now.

Are you login by typing /msg NickServ identify <password>?

[AlbinoGeek]

on reconnect is the issue here. I do not use the command explicitly because under the advanced tab of the main client, you can choose for the client to login for me. However, it tries to join channels before authenticating if the program is reconnecting.

Reconnection happens due to network loss or system resume from suspend.

Sorry for responsing so late.

I think i know where the problem is. Have you check the "remember password" togglebutton when you login?

[AlbinoGeek]

Right, I do have Remember Password toggled.

Again, this issue happens on reconnect specifically.

IRC flow should be:

CONNECT
USER
IDENT
LOGIN (NickServ, etc.)
JOIN (...)

srain flow is instead:

CONNECT
USER
JOIN (...) // fails because I'm not logged in and the channels require +r
IDENT
LOGIN (NickServ, etc.)

Had I not explained the issue well enough?

Normal IRC clients will login before joining channels, srain does not.

Therefore, the channel joins fail (because they require +r)

Hi AlbinoGeek, you have explianed it well.

Couple this with the fact the client has no real chat log

Srain has chat log, see: https://doc.srain.im/en/latest/misc.html#chat-logs

srain flow is instead: ...

Srain's flow is almost same as other IRC client. but srain doesn't save you password in memory, it only query password from dbus secret service, you doesn't toggle "remember password", so srain get nothing, so you are no login when you reconnected. We can treat it as a bug, but how to fix it is debatable.

[AlbinoGeek]

I'm sure I've explained this poorly. srain currently **does** reconnect and even login again, it does not forget my password, it even tries to rejoin all my channels -- the problem is that it does these things in the wrong order. It needs to: login before joining channels. Right now it: joins channels before logging in.
