Flowdock Multi-Messages out of order

[JoshCheez]

Im running hubot in a flowdock chat instance and I have a script that sends several msg.send into flowdock chat from a loop. When I run the script in the console, the messages display in order, but when I run the script in flowdock, the messages come in seemingly random order. This seems like an issue with flowdock, but I was wondering if there was anything I can add to my code to make sure they send in order.

If there is a callback for the msg.send (or if one were added), that would assure that each sends in chronological order. msg.send is non-blocking so whichever request is honored by the API first will likely be the first message you see, and similarly for each subsequent message.

msg.send is async, so calling it multiple times wouldn't necessarily come in a specific order. If you can know what all the messages you want to send are, you can send an array and the adapter should take care of the order:

msg.send "foo", "bar", "baz"

You can also build an array, and then use the splat operator:

messages = []
msg.send message...

Tried that and the timing was still off. I ended up creating a really long string with \n throughout the string and msg.send the whole string and it worked.

Thanks,
Josh

I created an issue to the hubot-flowdock repo since it's the adapter's fault.

@Mumakil I checked hubot-flowdock for PRs around this, but didn't see any: https://github.com/flowdock/hubot-flowdock/pulls?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=author%3AMumakil . Did you mean this for another issue?

@technicalpickles this was fixed last september flowdock/hubot-flowdock#54

@Mumakil great, thanks!
