[1.4.0] No Notifications?

[oitsjustjose]

So, I literally installed YakYak today for the first time and so far I'm incredibly pleased!! The one thing I can't figure out is why none of the notifications are working. Any thoughts?

Here's what my notifications settings are currently at:

Any suggestions would be awesome. Thanks!!

maybe your conversation is muted ? can someone else test this on windows ?

[oitsjustjose]

Nope, I checked, all conversations I'm receiving messages on are set to receive notifications.

Working in Windows 7 32-bit

but from windows 8 and above a different system is used

[davibe]

so basically node-notifier is not compatible with windows 8+ ?

[averissimo]

It should be, it just uses a different notification system

So 1.4.1 doesn't seem to work either, on neither my laptop nor my desktop. In fact, the notifications don't work for my roommate on 1.4.0 on OS X either - are you supposed to install something else before installing YakYak? I feel like we're missing a dependency, but I've installed NodeJS.

[averissimo]

YakYak is self contained, you should only need the contents of the zip file.

Can you open the Inspector (via YakYak menu, or Ctrl+Alt+i) and see if there are any errors?

Just want to chime in to confirm notifications work fine for me on OSX 10.11.6, YakYak 1.4.0.

I do have Show username and Show message both unchecked.

[oitsjustjose]

Not seeing any errors. Unless this is different from Chrome's usual inspector, the Console isn't throwing any errors when receiving a message.

[averissimo]

No errors :\

I have no clue on what this could be. Can you confirm or test the following?

1 - Open the Inspector, switch for the console tab and write/paste the following:

require('node-notifier').notify('Something should appear')

It should create a notification, and please copy here the result.

2 - Are you always using the same account to login?

3- Are the notifications "On" in the webinterface of hangouts? (see image below)

ps. thanks @mliq

No dice

require('node-notifier').notify('Something should appear')

WindowsToaster {options: Object, domain: null, _events: EventHandlers, _eventsCount: 0, _maxListeners: undefined}Growl: Growl(options)Notification: WindowsToaster(options)NotificationCenter: NotificationCenter(options)NotifySend: NotifySend(options)WindowsBalloon: WindowsBalloon(options)WindowsToaster: WindowsToaster(options)_events: EventHandlers_eventsCount: 0_maxListeners: undefineddomain: nulloptions: Object__proto__: EventEmitter

run:

require('node-notifier').notify('caca', function(err){console.log('err', err);})

Can you take a screenshot of the result?

Then run

new require('node-notifier').WindowsToaster({fallback: true}).notify('caca', function(err){console.log('err', err);})

screenshot again :)

What exactly is you OS? if windows 10 try:

then try all this an screenshot it please

new require('node-notifier').Growl({fallback: true}).notify('caca', function(err){console.log('err', err);})
new require('node-notifier').WindowsBalloon({fallback: true}).notify('caca', function(err){console.log('err', err);})
new require('node-notifier').NotifySend({fallback: true}).notify('caca', function(err){console.log('err', err);})
new require('node-notifier').NotificationCenter({fallback: true}).notify('caca', function(err){console.log('err', err);})

Wow. It took me 3 days to figure out what it was.

This is the worst ID10T error I think I've ever had.

I thought you were creating your own notifications, not using the built-in Windows ones. I keep those off normally (now enabled and working fine)....

So yeah. This was completely my fault. Notifications work as intended... just maybe slap this in the README? If I had paid any attention to how this was supposed to be working, I would've been able to save you the time. Sorry :|

[averissimo]

LOOOOOOOL

Would this be cool?

[oitsjustjose]

That would be perfect.
