∴ imsg WTF

What am I doing wrong? Running OSX 10.8.4

[chrisfsampaio]

Hello @matejkramny, thanks for trying imsg! I didn't have the chance of testing on OSX 10.8.4, but I don't see any special requirements other than having the Messages application installed. Here are some questions: 1) You cannot run 'imsg' with another user context, have you tried running 'imsg mymessage' before running 'sudo su'?

2) If so, what is the shell response to the imsg command?

Thanks!

[matejkramny]

I did, however the program just quit, printing nothing. No exception, no status message..

How can I debug?

Are you able to run the command below?

osascript -e 'tell application "Messages" to get chats'

Do you get any errors?

Thanks!

[matejkramny]

Yes. Due to confidential information, I will anonymise the data..

text chat id iMessage;-;+44xxxxx, text chat id iMessage;-;xxx@aol.co.uk, text chat id iMessage;-;+44xxxxx, text chat id iMessage;-;xxxx@icloud.com, text chat id iMessage;-;+44xxxxx, text chat id iMessage;-;+xxxx, ...

Can you try using this branch? It has erros output enabled (which was disabled to cover issue #7).

To try the branch you just have to clone the branch somewhere, and then run the executable on the 'bin' folder. i.e.:

<branchlocation>/bin/imsg myMessage

Thanks!

[matejkramny]

Returns

∴ ./bin/imsg hello ./bin/imsg:2:in `require': no such file to load -- imsg (LoadError) from ./bin/imsg:2 ∴

It seems to be something related to your ruby setup. Updating rubygems (and/or Ruby version) to the latest might help. More info here:

mattneub/appscript#10 (comment)

[matejkramny]

I am no ruby expert.. but from common programming knowledge i managed to find an issue with required (workaround require_relative '../lib/imsg.rb'. However my ruby 1.8 doesn't have require_relative)

This is what it prints when i move bin/imsg to lib/imsg_bin

∴ ./imsg_bin hello
./model/chat.rb:1:in `require': no such file to load -- appscript (LoadError)
    from ./model/chat.rb:1
    from ./imsg.rb:3:in `require'
    from ./imsg.rb:3
    from ./imsg_bin:2:in `require'
    from ./imsg_bin:2
∴

Installing rb-appscript

∴ sudo gem install rb-appscript

I can do this over and over (installing rb-appscript) and every time it prints the same thing. Shouldn't it say "Hey, rb-appscript is already installed"?

[chrisfsampaio]

No, actually the output is the same for me if try 'gem install rb-appscript' over and over.

I'd recommend you to update your ruby version to latest available as long as RubyGems.

Let me know the results when you have your environment updated.

Thanks! :smile:

Closing the issue since it was ruby environment related, @matejkramny you can still comment on it or even open another one if you feel necessary :smile:
