It’d be good if Tinder supported http authenticating proxies – one of the big benefits of campfire is that it works from inside corporate firewalls, but Tinder doesn’t handle this without modifications.

I’m stumped on this one: I just added tinder as a publisher to cerberus and I want to be a good little programmer and include a functional test. How do I create a mock for Tinder?

Jesse,

Thanks for the patch. This was actually fixed in svn a few weeks ago, I just haven’t released a new version of the gem. Check it out and let me know how it works for you.

Here’s a patch against 0.1.4 that keeps Tinder alive for longer than a couple minutes:

Josh,

Did you figure out what has changed in the campfire API to break the marshmallow ‘watch’ command? I’d like to fix our scripts :)

Thanks, Tammer

Josh,

I modified line 121 of room.rb (0.1.3 via gems) so it returns the person name for enter/leave messages too, so now my bot can personally respond to anyone joining the room (or insult them for leaving).

:person => msg.gsub(/<(\/)?span>/, '').scan(/<td class=\\"person\\">([^<]+)<\/td>/).to_s

Tim.

Huzzah!

I found the issue and I have emailed Brandon about it. I also found some other interesting stuff while digging around in the code.

I added a ping command in my version of tinder, that way if you set the bot to listen, he will ping every 60 seconds to stay logged in.

Brandon & Adam,

37signals indeed did change something. I spoke to DHH a few minutes ago and he said they deployed a new build of campfire recently. My bot was working fine up until two days ago when they must have made the change.

Adam,

Hmm, I wonder if 37s deployed something that change how the polling works.

I’m not going to have time to look into it for a while, but patches are appreciated.

Having no luck with listen…

room.listen do |m| room.speak “Test” end

...nothing happens.

Excellent work Brandon! Our Campfire Bot, which we’ve lovingly named Elsington, is quite a good heckler. I’m interested to see what else comes of this.
