client.join() returning No response from Twitch.

[luandunas]

My code

var channels = ['xqcow' ,'sattelizergames' ,'summit1g' ,'gaules' ,'jovirone' ,'elded' ,'scarra' ...]
var client = tmi.client({
    options: {debug: false},
    connection: {reconnect: true, secure: true},
    channels: ['dunaaas'],
    identity: {username: "username",password: "oauth"}
});

client.on('connected', function(address, port) {
    console.log("Address: " + address + " Port: " + port);
    console.log(`connected channels: ${client.getOptions().channels.length}`);
    b();
});

function b(){
    if(channels[0] != undefined){
    client.join(channels[0]).then(function(data) {
          console.log(data);
          channels.shift();
          b();
        }).catch(function(err) {console.log(err)});
    }
    else{
        
    }
}

Actual behaviour:
Returning error when try connect in many channels using client.join()

Expected behaviour:
Don't return No response from Twitch.

You're probably joining too many channels in the allotted time. (20 commands per 30 seconds for normal accounts) Why not just use the auto-joiner? You already have 1 channel in the client option's channels array.

var client = tmi.client({
    ...
    channels: [
        'dunaaas','xqcow' ,'sattelizergames' ,'summit1g' ,'gaules' ,
        'jovirone' ,'elded' ,'scarra', ...
    ],
    ...
});

In this case i can't use auto-joiner. I tried use Settimeout with 5 seconds, but still return "No response from Twitch."

Seeing this same issue here as well. It successfully joins the first several channels and then gets the "No response from Twitch" error for all others indefinitely.

This comes from the fact that the join channel promise races against a delay

tmi.js/lib/commands.js

Lines 263 to 269 in 5925310

	// Race the Promise against a delay..
	var delay = this._getPromiseDelay();
	_.promiseDelay(delay).then(() => {
	if(!hasFulfilled) {
	this.emit(eventName, "No response from Twitch.", channel);
	}
	});

(which is often set to 600ms) and when you join a lot of channels, the join command sometimes take more than 600ms so you get that "No response from Twitch" error.

I am facing the same issue. I don't think this is fixed.

[OikoumE]

i am suddenly facing this issue aswell when joining 20 channels

[FlockersDesign]

got the same problem and just joing one channel

const tmi = require('tmi.js');
const { channel } = require('tmi.js/lib/utils');
require('dotenv').config();

const options = {
options: { debug: true,},
connection: {
reconnect: true,
secure: true,
},
identity: {
username: process.env.USER_TOKEN,
password: process.env.AUTH_TOKEN
},
channels: [ process.env.CHANNEL_TOKEN ]
};

const client = new tmi.client(options);
client.connect();

So I'm getting the same error error: No response from Twitch. after the Executing command: JOIN #[channel] with only one twitch channel (mine).

Here's my config:

import { client } from 'tmi.js';

const opts = {
  identity: {
    username: process.env.BOT_USERNAME,
    password: process.env.BOT_OAUTH_TOKEN
  },
  channels: [
    process.env.CHANNEL_NAME
  ]
}

const cli = new client(opts);

cli.connect();

I've no clue of why it's not working so just gonna check the future comments of the issue

change cli.connect(); to client.connect();

[MidKnightXI]

should I open a new issue for it ?

This comes from the fact that the join channel promise races against a delay

tmi.js/lib/commands.js

Lines 263 to 269 in 5925310

	// Race the Promise against a delay..
	var delay = this._getPromiseDelay();
	_.promiseDelay(delay).then(() => {
	if(!hasFulfilled) {
	this.emit(eventName, "No response from Twitch.", channel);
	}
	});

(which is often set to 600ms) and when you join a lot of channels, the join command sometimes take more than 600ms so you get that "No response from Twitch" error.

Is there a way to increase or remove the delay if we have a verified account? The auto-joiner isn't a good fit for my application because it is only scanning for live channels.

Limit	Description
20 messages per 30 seconds	If the user isn’t the channel’s broadcaster or moderator, the bot may send a maximum of 20 messages per 30 seconds.
100 messages per 30 seconds	If the user is the channel’s broadcaster or moderator, the bot may send a maximum of 100 messages per 30 seconds.
7,500 messages per 30 seconds	The bot is limited to sending 7,500 messages per 30 seconds across all channels. This means that the bot could send 10 messages per 30 seconds to 750 different channels. However, it couldn’t, for example, send 7,500 messages per 30 seconds to a single channel because it would exceed the 20 messages per 30 second limit.
