Gtalk Adapter Failed to connect

[Fabs]

I have downloaded hubot-2.1.3 and changed packed json to include hubot-gtalk: "dependencies": { "hubot": "2.1.3", "hubot-gtalk": ">= 0.0.1", "hubot-scripts": ">=2.0.4", "optparse": "1.0.3" }

I have exported different HUBOT_GTALK_USERNAME , HUBOT_GTALK_PASSWORD and ran bin/hubot -a gtalk, npm installed all dependencies. The server starts but nothing happens, the hubot simple does not answer to the gtalk account.

[master hubot] bin/hubot -a gtalk Cannot load StringPrep-0.1.0 bindings.

I've tried multiple gmail, and goole app account. It seems to have something to do with this "undefined". But i don't know what it is.

Any tip?

Did you try to install StringPrep? (A 2nd line of your log.)

[Fabs]

I'm new to node.js, I thought it was only a warning. I'm doing it right now.

Just for record. Trying to run npm install node-stringprep fails on Mac OSX 10.7. I first had to do this:

brew install icu4c ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/icu4c//bin/icu-config /usr/local/bin/icu-config

Them npm install node-stringprep.

Now whenever i start hubot, I got this:

npm WARN node-stringprep@0.1.4 package.json: bugs['name'] should probably be bugs['url']

node-stringprep@0.1.4 install /Volumes/Sensitive/fabsn/rep/hubot/node_modules/node-stringprep sh ./install.sh

I have also fixed the checking for node path by exporting the path to nodepath, so now i get:

Checking for node path : ok /usr/local/lib/node

Still, I dunno why they run the build every time i run npm install.

“Still, I dunno why they run the build every time i run npm install.”

I had the same thing when I tried to install Hubot on my shared hosting. Two days of compiling dependencies, full screens of errors… and then I made it work. But I’m not shure I could do it again :)

[sapegin]

Finally I have this in my ~/.bashrc:

# Node
export NODE_PATH=$HOME/usr/node

# Hubot
export HUBOT_GTALK_USERNAME="elebotus@gmail.com"
export HUBOT_GTALK_PASSWORD="MyGoodPassword"
export HUBOT_GTALK_WHITELIST_USERS="artem@sapegin.ru"

I have everything set as you showed, but still it does not work with gtalk. I'm using it with campfire.

[eggcaker]

you can uninstall the node-stringprep module if you want run gtalk adapter , it's works without node-stringprep. except has a message :

Cannot load StringPrep-0.1.0 bindings. You may need to `npm install node-stringprep'

[Draiken]

I am not sure if this is the same issue but I've also setup the env variables but when I run hubot -a gtalk I simply get this:

Cannot load StringPrep-0.1.0 bindings. You may need to `npm install node-stringprep'
undefined

Tried installing the node-stringprep and as described by @Fabs it just builds the package and nothing else.

Could some1 help me with this?

[Bankq]

@Fabs Same thing happened here. I already installed node-stringprep

Hi, I have got same issue. I switched to older versions of hubot and hubot-gtalk and now it finally works for me.

"hubot-gtalk": "1.0.2",  
"hubot": "2.2.0",

my package.json file:

{
  "name":        "hosted-hubot",
  "version":     "2.2.0",
  "author":      "GitHub Inc.",
  "keywords":    "github hubot campfire bot",
  "description": "A simple helpful Robot for your Company",
  "licenses":     [{
    "type":       "MIT",
    "url":        "http://github.com/github/hubot/raw/master/LICENSE"
  }],

  "repository" : {
    "type" : "git",
    "url" : "http://github.com/github/hubot.git"
  },

  "dependencies": {
    "hubot-gtalk": "1.0.2",  
    "hubot": "2.2.0",
    "hubot-scripts": ">=2.0.8",

  },

  "engines": {
    "node": "0.6.x",
    "npm": "1.0.x"
  }
}

Procfile (nothing special):

web: bin/hubot -a gtalk -n Hubot

And script I use for deployment:

#!/bin/bash
heroku apps:destroy my_app_name --confirm my_app_name
heroku create my_app_name
heroku config:add HUBOT_GTALK_USERNAME="email@gmail.com" HUBOT_GTALK_PASSWORD="my_password"
heroku addons:add redistogo:nano
git push heroku master
heroku ps:scale web=1
