Not receiving group chats from Facebook

[mihav]

Hello,
I'm using latest ejabberd+spectrum2+purple-facebook combination on server side with Gajim and Conversations on client side. Everything works pretty well, except Facebook groupchat messages are not delievered.

Log file says:
==> backends/backend-1.log <==
26379: 2016-11-22 19:57:37,506 INFO backend: Received message body='message' xhtml='' name='569408136428298' 1044469493

==> spectrum2.log <==
2016-11-22 19:57:37,508 WARN NetworkPluginServer: handleConvMessagePayload: No conversation with name 569408136428298

I have the same issue. Any update here?

Maybe group-chat-open parameter must be set to 1. But currently not possible to test as backend is crashing.

[purple]
group-chat-open=1

can you please test 898b05c ?

Nope, still not working with group-chat-open=1 with latest master branch:

10062: 2017-01-27 10:17:45,410 ERROR backend: g_log purple_conversation_get_chat_data: assertion 'conv != NULL' failed

I also noticed messages which only contains smileys (only thumbsup for example) are not coming through. Spectrum logs empty message:

10062: 2017-01-27 10:20:22,353 ERROR backend: GLib g_string_free: assertion 'string != NULL' failed

I see also participants but messages not delivered will try above and give feedback

[vitalyster]

So, at least something received from facebook side, but not delivered to XMPP. That is a backend log, can you also please check spectrum log?

spectrum2 log for incoming group chat (same as in first report):

2017-01-27 10:17:45,412 WARN NetworkPluginServer: handleConvMessagePayload: No conversation with name 1420768124622546

Tried adding mentioned prpl settings but spectrum won't start

[vitalyster]

@thundergreen you forgot to update spectrum

[thundergreen]

I will have to build it from Scratch... Would do that if you would release my Pckages :) Am 27.01.2017 14:56 schrieb "vitalyster" <notifications@github.com>:

I got the same error also with the new version when someone is inviting my fb account to a group chat:
group-chat-open=1

Any update on this? I can manually join an existing groupchat, but isn't there a way to auto "popup" new group chats? Also, is there a way to create a facebook groupchat using a xmpp client?

truenicoco: I'm wondering the same thing. Would be wonderful if somehow the group chats could pop up automatically, just like when a normal chat is initiated.

@truenicoco @Knezzen if you are able to join/receive messages, then it is a different issue and need a lot of work on server/spectrum AND client side - #68
