Direct message not opening when receiving first message

[lzmartinico]

When I receive a new message from a team member I have never talked to, the direct message channel isn't automatically opened

By "not automatically opened", do you mean that the buffer isn't created, or that weechat doesn't switch to the buffer?

What should happen is that a buffer is created in the background, and the number that buffer gets is shown in the hotlist.

Sorry, I meant no buffer got created, or at least no number appeared in the hotlist

I just noticed the same issue myself.
I have a couple of new people that sent me direct messages but no buffer has been created.
I just found it out while opening slack in the browser. It made it look like I ignored those people I guess :/

IIRC the following works: if my weechat is open and a new person talks to me, then the buffer is created.
I believe that maybe what doesn't work then is to have the new buffers created after starting weechat itself.

Same issue here.
Could you please fix this issue?

I'm not able to reproduce the issue. Can you give me some more details? Like does it happen for messages from all users or only some? If only some, is there any commonalities between those? Have you talked to these people previously? Do the buffers appear after you reload the script, or are they still missing?

Also, try to enable debug mode and see if any errors are printed in the core or debug buffers when the problem occurs.

I can reproduce as such:

/join Slackbot
/slack slash /remind in 1 minute Test
/close
/quit

Start weechat after a couple of minutes and the buffer Slackbot won't be opened (if you see the Slackbot buffer, please repeat the above steps, it does not happen everytime).
I will edit this messages to post the other messages you mentionned.

I'd say it happens for most users, even groups (buffer with multiple people direct messaging).
I have talked to some of these people before, but it happens even with people that I never talked to before.

In debug mode, there's nothing interesting:
It says it connected to Slack in the first buffer and the debug buffer says:

DEBUG: Couldn't load emoji list: IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'~/.weechat/weemoji.json'

Are you able to reproduce with the above steps?

[trygveaa]

Yeah, thanks, I can reproduce it with that. But I don't have time to look into it right now.
