client.irc.raw("WHOIS", username) returns false

[Jazcash]

The following code:

client.irc.raw("WHOIS", "Jazcash");
api.hookEvent('*', 'whois', function(msg) { 
    console.log(msg);
});

Only ever seems to print false. Can't figure out why, the user exists, the event is triggered and other events work fine, just not WHOIS.

Ok will look into this, odd though, the tests should pick a bug in this up..

Just tested this on freenode, it's working for me, are you sure your client is registered yet;

api.hookEvent('test', 'registered', function(message) {
    console.log('SENDING WHOIS');
    client.irc.raw('WHOIS', 'rickibalboa');
});

{ nickname: 'rickibalboa',
  username: '~ricki',
  hostname: 'unaffiliated/rickibalboa',
  realname: 'Ricki',
  raw:
   [ ':rajaniemi.freenode.net 311 simpleircbot rickibalboa ~ricki unaffiliated/rickibalboa * :Ricki',
     ':rajaniemi.freenode.net 312 simpleircbot rickibalboa orwell.freenode.net :NL',
     ':rajaniemi.freenode.net 671 simpleircbot rickibalboa :is using a secure connection',
     ':rajaniemi.freenode.net 330 simpleircbot rickibalboa rickibalboa :is logged in as' ],
  server: 'orwell.freenode.net',
  serverinfo: 'NL',
  secure: 'is using a secure connection',
  loggedin: 'rickibalboa',

In that case I have a feeling I'm doing it wrong :( My code:

var factory = require('irc-factory');

var api = new factory.Api();
var client = api.createClient('jazbot', {
    nick : "Jazbot",
    user : "Jazbot",
    server : "uk.quakenet.org",
    realname: "Jazbot",
    port: 6667,
    secure: false
});

api.hookEvent('*', 'registered', function(msg) {
    myNick = msg.nickname;
    client.irc.join("#Jaztest");
});

api.hookEvent('*', 'privmsg', function(msg) {
    console.log("<"+msg.username+"> "+msg.message);
    if (msg.message == "!do"){
        client.irc.raw('WHOIS','Jazcash');
        api.hookEvent('*', 'whois', function(msg) {
            console.log(msg)
        });
    }
});

Console output:

<~Jazcash> !do
false

Strange indeed, doesn't look like your code. I've pushed an update to the master branch, you can test it by going into your node_modules folder and deleting irc-factory then doing git clone https://github.com/ircanywhere/irc-factory.git

If that works let me know. Hopefully it should fix it.

Works now, thanks!
