Username is new to chat

[PomegranateApps]

This event does not work for me. I’ve had new people enter my stream with a chat message but this event never gets triggered.
https://github.com/twitch-apis/twitch-js/blob/HEAD/docs/Chat/Events.md#ritual

This is what my code looks like.

client.on('ritual', (channel, username, type, userstate) => {
	if(type == "new_chatter")
	{
		client.say(channel, "Welcome " + username + "!");
	}
});

Please use the issue template.

What version of twitch-js are you using?

[marcandrews]

... also, can you post the raw message from Twitch that fails to trigger the event?

[PomegranateApps]

How would I log the raw message? I'm using version 1.2.14.

[marcandrews]

If you are running in [Chrome] browser, you can capture the message from DevTools > Network tab > WS tab. If you are running in Node, unfortunately I don't think v1 exposes the raw message.

I am pretty sure this works on v2 (example event). Any chance you can try v2?

[sogehige]

As far as my observation goes. This functionality looks broken on v2 as well.

I checked correctness of messages as they are in twitch docs and it looks ok. I am planning to investigate it more, but my first impression is that its something broken on twitch tmi side or they changed message
formt without updating docs.

Logging messages from twitch on twitchpresents for several hours...no ritual tmi messages.

I created thread on twitch forum so we'll see what is going on: https://discuss.dev.twitch.tv/t/ritual-new-chatter-is-not-being-sent/17878

[sogehige]

So, other users on forum are not experiencing this issue.

twitchpresents does not have rituals enabled…

@broadcaster-lang=;emote-only=0;followers-only=-1;r9k=0;rituals=0;room-id=149747285;slow=6;subs-only=0 :tmi.twitch.tv ROOMSTATE #twitchpresents

[marcandrews]

If the end user tries to add an event listener to rituals, we could check roomState and if rituals are disabled, issue a warning.

This, unfortunately, may be out-of-scope for an SDK.
