session_start not working

import sleekxmpp

class SendMsgBot(sleekxmpp.ClientXMPP):
    def __init__(self, jid, password, recipient, message):
        sleekxmpp.ClientXMPP.__init__(self, jid, password)
        self.recipient = recipient
        self.msg = message
        self.add_event_handler("session_start", self.start)
        self.add_event_handler("message", self.msg)

    def start(self, event):
        raise('it wont fail it wont end')
        self.send_presence()
        self.get_roster()

        self.send_message(mto=self.recipient,
                mbody=self.msg,
                mtype='chat')

    def message(self, msg):
        if msg['type'] in ('chat', 'normal'):
            msg.reply("Thanks for sending\n%(body)s" % msg).send()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    xmpp = SendMsgBot(
            'some jid',
            'password',
            'someother jid',
            'blahblah'
    )
    xmpp.register_plugin('xep_0030')  # Service Discovery
    xmpp.register_plugin('xep_0004')  # Data Forms
    xmpp.register_plugin('xep_0060')  # PubSub
    if xmpp.connect():
        xmpp.process(block=True)
        print("Done")
    else:
        print("Unable to connect.")

the above code should raise an exception as soon as the self.start is called but that wont happen. This code is similar to one of the examples in the repo. Without that raise it should complete the steps and disconnect, but that never happens aswell.

I'm facing this issue as well. Any updates?

I have the same issue. @5aurabhpathak did you find a solution?

@salmanasiddiqui @5aurabhpathak @LisaOneLogic: Have you tested with "master"?

• https://github.com/fritzy/SleekXMPP/commits/develop

Always same? Have you a patch? Can you create a PR?

[salmanasiddiqui]

• back then it was always happening, the start function was not being called.
• No I ditched this library and went with other xmpp client
• 😕

feel free to close this issue.. if it exists in the latest version, then someone will create another issue and will be able to provide more info

@salmanasiddiqui What do you use now? :/

[salmanasiddiqui]

I was trying to use this to write some tests, ended up doing some manual testing using gui based xmpp clients, and then used jmeter for basic stress testing
