This configuration will pass the symbol my-irc-password
literally to Circe which is probably not what you want. If you want a variable by that name with the password as value to be used, you must use backquote instead:
(setq circe-network-options
`(("gitter"
:tls t
:nick "seblemaguer"
:sasl-password ,my-irc-password
:server-buffer-name "⇄ gitter"
:host"irc.gitter.im"
:service "6667")))
thanks a lot. my-irc-password
is function. I used it to access to the authinfo which is storing my password and for the other networks. I tried to connect using the password directly indicated as a string it is not working. This is my log:
E: "conn.connected"
C: CAP LS
C: NICK seblemaguer
C: USER slemaguer 8 * slemaguer
S: ERROR :You must authenticate, check: https://irc.gitter.im
E: "ERROR" nil "You must authenticate, check: https://irc.gitter.im"
S: - Peer has closed the GnuTLS connection
E: "-" nil "Peer" "has" "closed" "the" "GnuTLS" "connection"
E: "conn.disconnected"
Hm, perhaps :sasl-password
is the wrong key then. Did you try :pass
instead?
perfect, that was it. Thanks a lot
Hi
Many thanks for a great software package for emacs. I also have a problem setting up Circe for gitter. I tried following the code from @seblemaguer but sadly I'm not the best at emacs lisp :-) I tried to combine the wiki instructions with his tips and came up with:
(setq auth-sources '("~/.authinfo.gpg"))
(defun my-fetch-password (&rest params)
(require 'auth-source)
(let ((match (car (apply 'auth-source-search params))))
(if match
(let ((secret (plist-get match :secret)))
(if (functionp secret)
(funcall secret)
secret))
(error "Password not found for %S" params))))
(defun my-nickserv-password (server)
(my-fetch-password :login "mcraveiro" :machine "irc.gitter.im"))
(setq circe-network-options
`(("Gitter"
:tls t
:nick "mcraveiro"
:pass my-nickserv-password
:server-buffer-name "⇄ gitter"
:host "irc.gitter.im"
:service "6667")))
When I start circe and choose Gitter
I don't seem to be connected:
*** Connecting...
*** No target for current buffer
>
I also replaced my-nickserv-password
with the actual password to test it and it still does not connect. Also, I couldn't locate the logs that @seblemaguer posted above.
Any tips or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks for your time

To obtain the above log, evaluate (setq irc-debug-log t)
and look for a "IRC Protocol" buffer. For testing I'd recommend omitting the auth-source parts and just using the literal password.
Hi @wasamasa,
Thanks very much for that. So using a literal password and with debug log I get:
E: "conn.failed"
C: QUIT :Using Circe, the loveliest of all IRC clients
E: "conn.failed"
I think we are not setting the hostname correctly, maybe?
Hm, this means it's an issue happening before the client has even a chance to establish a connection. Do you have gnutls-cli
on PATH?
ah interesting! well I installed the package as per docs, e.g.:
apt install gnutls-bin
and then, from an emacs shell, if I do:
$ which gnutls-cli
/usr/bin/gnutls-cli
That looks healthy...
Yeah, at this point you'd need to do manual testing by opening a connection to the server with gnutls-cli
and looking for anything suspicious. Alternatively, try applying this hack before I do: https://github.com/jorgenschaefer/circe/issues/306#issuecomment-493236603
Hello,
I try to make circe working with gitter. I used this configuration:
but so far no success.
