Error from bot on !anycommand

[ThinIce]

Just downloaded the code, this project looks great however I'm running into problems using it with the basic testing leaves included...

Example (Stem): << :redacted.users.quakenet.org PRIVMSG #redacted :!insult

I'm new to Ruby, so not sure where to start on debugging this one...

[RISCfuture]

Trying to reproduce. I got an auth'd nick on QuakeNet and did the exact same thing...

Example (Stem): << :RISCfuture!~RISCfutur@RISCfuture.users.quakenet.org PRIVMSG #stupidtest :!insult
Example (Stem): >> PRIVMSG #stupidtest :Type "!insult Ted" to crush Ted's spirit with a devastating insult.

Still looking into it...

Although you show your user portion as :[host], whereas mine is of the form :[nick]![user]@[host] -- any idea why that is? Or is that obfuscated by your "redacted"?

[ThinIce]

Ah. Yeah just took that out as force of habit really, the actual string is in the same format as yours, but does contain [ ] characters in the nick portion and also a \ in addition to the [ ] in the user portion, i.e

[tag]nick!~nick@[tag\i]nick.users.quakenet.org

My apologies for having an awkward nick and QN auth :) especially on a friday night. Having played about a little it does look like the [ and ] characters are causing a problem, not sure about the \

[RISCfuture]

I suspect the issue is that the RFC specs for IRC state that a nick must begin with a letter, whereas yours begins with an open bracket. In your stems.yml file, try setting the nick_regex option for your stem to something that allows open brackets too.

See Autumn::Stem::NICK_REGEX for the default regex, and build off of that. Let me know how this works for you.

[ThinIce]

Thanks, huh all those gamers with RFC incompatible nicks :p My regexp isn't too hot however this seems to do the trick in my own case.

# The default regular expression for IRC nicknames. NICK_REGEX = "[a-zA-Z\[\]][a-zA-Z0-9\-_\[\]\{\}\\|`\^]+"
