messages lost in this scenario

[Nicolò Chieffo]

Binary package hint: telepathy-butterfly

- start to chat with a contact
- wait until the contact disconnects
- send him a message when he is offline

If you leave the window open, and the other contact reconnects, the messages that he sends to you are not delivered to you

[Olivier Le Thanh Duong (olethanh)]

do you mean if he come back online again and he send you a message you won't see it?

[Nicolò Chieffo (yelo3)]

Yes

[Nicolò Chieffo (yelo3)]

It's like it uses the same channel as the one used when the chat started?

[Nicolò Chieffo (yelo3)]

Is it possible that it's empaty's fault?

[Nicolò Chieffo (yelo3)]

Do you need a log?

Here's the comments:
1) I connected with <email address hidden> in empathy
2) I connected with <email address hidden> in pidgin
3) I opened a chat from empathy to pidgin saying "HELLO" (in the log at line 61)
4) I disconnected in pidgin
5) I sent another message from empathy to pidgin "THIS MESSAGE IS SENT WHEN THE USER IS OFFLINE" (line 92)
6) I reconnected in pidgin
7) I sent a message from pidgin to empathy "THIS MESSAGE IS NOT RECEIVED" (line 112)
8) I closed the pidgin chat window to <email address hidden> and reopened it
9) I sent another message from pidgin "ALSO THIS MESSAGE IS NOT RECEIVED (AFTER CLOSING AND REOPENING THE OTHER SENDER'S WINDOW)" (line 153)
10) I closed the empahty chat window to <email address hidden>
11) I sent another message from pidgin "NOW THAT I HAVE CLOSED EMPATHY CONTACT WINDOW THIS MESSAGE SHOULD BE RECEIVED" (line 225)

unfortunately also that message isn't received, so I was wrong at the beginning, no other message can be delivered until I disconnect and reconnect from empathy (or maybe I have to try to send something from empathy to pidgin to see what happens?)

I've also checked with tp-haze, which works correctly

[Olivier Le Thanh Duong (olethanh)]

Looks like a serious bug indeed.

[Nicolò Chieffo (yelo3)]

yes, it should really be a blocker for the next release

Hello, this bug is still there in 0.5.1
It really needs some attention by some developer

[Olivier Le Thanh Duong (olethanh)]

According to Nicolò the offline branch fix this, the branch have merged into mastee

[Nicolò Chieffo (yelo3)]

fixed after merging the branch that supports offline messages.
Does karmic ship it?

[Olivier Le Thanh Duong (olethanh)]

It does, thank for reporting this bug and finding a proper way to reproduce it.
