Join rooms after connect?

[agh]

A hopefully quick question: what's the easiest way (your recommendation) to hook into Lita such that you can say something like the following after boot -

@lita join "My Room"

It'd be nice to be able to join/part dynamically and just have the lita_config.rb represent 'steady state' of what should happen after a restart.

Thanks for all your work on Lita to date! 🤘

Good question! This isn't really possible at the moment, but it definitely should be. I will add join/part methods to Lita::Robot and Lita::Adapter in the main gem and then implement them for this adapter.

The additions to the main gem are done. I will be releasing a new version soon, at which point I will take care of the adapter side.

Awesome. ✨

How do I go on adding Lita to a HipChat room with / without editing config file ?
( I have tried config option "config.adapter.rooms" )

[jimmycuadra]

That's the correct configuration option. It would look something like this:

config.adapter.rooms = %w(12345_myroom, 67890_anotherroom)

To make Lita join a room at runtime, send it the command "join 12345_myroom". Rooms joined this way are not remembered, so Lita won't automatically join them again if the process is restarted.

Thanks the bot is able to join room using above config.adapter.rooms syntax.
( I had to comment config.adapter.muc_domain config too. )

Still on-the-fly joining of room is not happening. I tried all possible options .. like being in the room and issuing join command.Tried by being on 1-on-1 chat with the bot too.

I see that the command is being passed to the bot in Debug mode.

Curious... Could you open a new issue with repro steps?

[GaryCarneiro]

Sure thing.
Will do that
