Does not reconnect automatically

[X-dark]

I got a small problem with my Internet connection which get cut every 12h (on the router not on the server). Weechat reconnects automatically to IRC when Internet is back but hubot does not and does not even seem to notice the loss of connectivity.

I notice that the node-irc module does seem to emit a netError event that we could listen to, but I'm not sure whether we could just re-connect at that point without messing up some other hubot related stuff.

This would take a good amount of time to figure out and I'm busy with other things right now. If you'd like to take this on, we would welcome a PR.

All right. I'll have a look. I have added a netError listener for now and will try to add a reconnect to see what happens once I see the error thrown.

+1 to auto-reconnect

Sorry for not getting back before.
I have not been able to catch any netError event on connection loss. Either I am doing something wrong or in my case the error is not thrown...

Any more movement on this? Using the adapter with Slack's IRC gateway and the bot stops responding randomly and silently(no errors).

I switched to https://github.com/tinyspeck/hubot-slack for our Slack team.

Not running the Slack adapter since we would prefer to not have an exposed endpoint for hubot.

Any updates on this? This is causing us some trouble when we run into occasional connection issues.

Hi folks. I'm unable to take a look at this at the moment and it seems @nandub is busy as well. If someone sufficiently bugged by this bug is able to figure out how to solve it, I would be more than happy to take a look at a pull request. Please do not 👍 or bump this issue anymore.

auto-reconnect (and auto-join on reconnect) would be more than appreciated +1
