Missing offline messages

[wrooot]

If i receive a message while i'm offline and then i run Chrome and Pade automatically starts with it, i see a popup about the new message with buttons View and Ignore. But pressing View opens chat window with that person and new message is not shown. It is also not shown when reopening the window. So Pade catches such offline message, but for some reason discards it without saving to history.

Pade uses a background xmpp connection in addition to the Converse xmpp connection. When the Converse window is closed, all messages go to the background connection. This creates the message notification popup, but the message will only be seen when the Converse window is opened via MAM chat history. If the monitoring plugin is not enabled, the message will not show in the chat history as Pade sets Converse to always use MAM.

A work-around might be to set Openfire property route.all-resources to TRUE to make sure both connections receive the offline messages. I have not tested this and unable to confirm.

If that does not work, then I may have to add a preference setting to enable/disable MAM in order for offline messages to be handled on Converse. I need to check code to confirm that as well.

FYI, this is happening on igniterealtime.org server.

I don't think igniterealtime.org server is running monitoring plugin with MAM v2 required by Converse

Dele,

I have same issue on Free-Solutions servers. I have the monitoring plugin but with or without pb is being observed. Let me know if i should try out with parameter route.all-resources to TRUE

[deleolajide]

I have the monitoring plugin

What version?

[ClaudeStabile]

Padé version 1.2.7 + monitoring 1.70 set, still the problem offline messages are gone I receive messages via xabber android client, does not loose any offline mess

btw my parameter route.all-resources is already set to TRUE by default

1.7.0 does not handle MAM properly. Try this one

Download from https://github.com/igniterealtime/Pade/releases

Hi Dele, Just to confirm it fixes the problem at Free-Solutions too. Now ofline messages are in Padé You can close related issues i open for this.

Thanks :)

If 1.7.1-SNAPSHOT fixes MAM, maybe we should release it?

[deleolajide]

It is more of a hack than a proper fix. It advertises MAM2 for service discovery and relies on Converse to create the missing stanza-id. @guusdk wants to fix the monitoring plugin issues as soon as he can afford the time.
