Unable to find newly created user accounts

[ferventcoder]

If someone that has never signed into gitter before (aka brand new user), joins gitter and then our chat room, they are not able to interact with hubot (until we restart the hubot).

The logs indicate that the user is not found:

However once we restart hubot, all is well again. So we have a workaround.

If I remember well, you need the new user to send one message in a room the bot is so that it'd be recognized.

[ferventcoder]

Do you mean send a message the bot isn't in? We had the same user try multiple times in a room the bot was in and it didn't work. We also have scripts that evaluate on any message, not just addressed to the bot directly

[ferventcoder]

Send a message in a room that the bot isn't in I meant...

[huafu]

No I meant send a message in a room the bot is. But apparently that did not work. That is a long time I did that adapter I don't remember exactly how I handled new users, I believe there should be a hook called and then the user automatically added but maybe I am doing this only on start. Oh yeah just remember now, yeah it is on start it scans all rooms and their users. Not sure there is a way to do else but I'll double check this when I'll have time so I let this one open

I make a patch to fix/workaround this.

I haven't completed testing this patch yet, but if you are interested in, check it out. 😉
