Terminal Bell event on new message

[cippaciong]

Hi, I would like to ask if is possible to add this feature to warn users when a new message arrives.
I would find it very useful because I usually leave the client open on an empty workspace instead of the one where I am working (I'm using a tiling WM) and I have to manually check the presence of new messages periodically.

Client now supports lua callbacks. You can ring terminal bell in callback function.

@vysheng exists any sample of how do this?

[vysheng]

You can use test.lua as a sample. To use it you should compile source with lua support (it is compiled with it by default) and start with '-s test.lua' param.

This is not working for me. I can't see any change in my WM when I receive a message.
Maybe I misinterpreted how this is supposed to work.

You can write something like that:
bell.lua:
1 started = 0
2 our_id = 0
3
4
5 function on_msg_receive (msg)
6 if started == 0 then
7 return
8 end
9 if msg.out then
10 return
11 end
12 print ("\a")
13 end
14
15 function on_our_id (id)
16 our_id = id
17 end
18
19 function on_secret_chat_created (peer)
20 end
21
22 function on_user_update (user)
23 end
24
25 function on_chat_update (user)
26 end
27
28 function on_get_difference_end ()
29 started = 1
30 end
31
32 function on_binlog_replay_end ()
33 end

Then start app with param '-s bell.lua'
This code should print message '\a' (bell symbol) on every incomming message.

Yay, that's working!
Thank you so much =)
