error when running test_myplugin.py

[singhaidotnish]

(sorry for this long mail. There was no way to attach text file here.)

1. need: to send message to user in spark ( openfire server ) ( auto generated )

self.send("user@host.tld/resource", "Boo! Bet you weren't expecting me, were you?", message_type="chat")

1. What I have done so far:

   run c:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\errbot>err.by (This is ok) (see link )

   and

   from a python console, following works

   from errbot.backends.test import FullStackTest, pushMessage, popMessage

   from errbot import plugin_manager

2. What i have tried so far:

   test_myplugin.py which gives following error.

Point is, will 1. work even if 3. is not working. ( If it's needed for test_myplugin to work ) Then how do I rectify the errors. (sorry could not attach text file, so have to put it here...)

What will it take to successfully run point no 1 successfully.

Ran 4 tests in 5.916s

FAILED (failures=2, errors=1)

errbot.backends.test is a test-backend for use with unit tests. You don't need these to write plugins, they're just a method to write tests to ensure your code is working correctly.

If you just want to send a specific user a specific message, all you need is to write a plugin that uses self.send() to send the message when something specific happens. I've already made reference to that in #264.

Thank you for your reply. Sure i'll use self.send() to send message to user. How do i interpret this

"user@host.tld/resource" for me user - username host - where openfire service is running tld - ? resource - ?

Sorry although these are petty questions, since I have absolutely no clue i need your help. Thank you in advance.

user@host.tld/resource means a Jabber ID (JID) as defined in RFC 6122. In short, it is composed of:

• user, which is the localpart of a JID. The local user, in other words
• host.tld, which is the domainpart. Generally this is the domainname of your service.
• resource, which is the resourcepart. XMPP allows people to be connected multiple times, where each session is identified by a resource and a priority.

For example, given I am nick on host groenen.me and I have configured my client to use the resource foobar, my full JID would be nick@groenen.me/foobar.

When sending a message to nick@groenen.me/foobar, it would arrive specifically on that client. The resource part may be omitted, however, so if I am connected with multiple clients, and you send only to nick@groenen.me, the message will be routed to the resource with the highest priority.

Multi user chat (MUC) rooms are addressed the same way.

Thank you for your reply. I tried a simple plugin that will only use self.send(...). Find attached image. (errbot_send.png)

For test purpose, using this link (https://github.com/gbin/err/wiki/plugin-dev#testing), I realised that plugin_dir needs to be set. So,

class MyPluginTests(FullStackTest): def setUp(self): me = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(os.path.abspath(file)))

Adding /la/bla to path is needed because of the path mangling

    # FullStackTest does on extra_test_file.
    plugin_dir = os.path.join(me, 'la', 'bla')
    super(MyPluginTests, self).setUp(extra_test_file=plugin_dir)
    self.send("sayeed@server","bot test", message_type="chat")

a = MyPluginTests() a.setUp()

tried running this , I get following ( errbot_runtest.png ) error.

Kindly suggest. Thank you in advance.
