Won't connect to IRC server

[crabctrl]

Hello, I'm trying to bridge a channel on Freenode, however although the Discord bot starts up, the bridge doesn't connect to Freenode. My config worked a couple months ago, but for whatever reason it's stopped working now.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

Have you tried a /whois on freenode to see if your bot username is already taken ?

[crabctrl]

Yes; it is also using a registered account with a password

[j0ack]

Can you post a pip freeze to see which version of the libs you are using please ?

I pushed a verbose branch yesterday on the repo.

You can clone it and run discirc with --verbose to see the traces and determine why your bot does not connect to IRC

[crabctrl]

Using that branch and passing --verbose there are still no messages to console. The Discord bot starts, but it won't connect to IRC, and doesn't print anything whatsoever.

[j0ack]

That's weird did you reinstall the app ?

How do you launch it ?

[crabctrl]

I installed with pip3 install git+https://github.com/j0ack/discirc@verbose. Note that before I reinstall, --verbose will print an error telling me to run help to see usage, so I must be using the correct version. I'm running with discirc --verbose

[j0ack]

That's the correct way to install it

Could you send me your config so I could test it ?

[crabctrl]

{
    "discordToken": "XXXX",
    "ircServer": "chat.freenode.net",
    "ircPort": "6697",
    "ircSSl": true,
    "ircNick": "XXXX",
    "ircPass": "XXXX",
    "mappingChannels": {
        "loh-en": "#loh-en"
    },
    "channelPass": {},
    "commandChars": []
}

Note that it does not work using a random ircNick without a password either. It also doesn't work with or without SSL.
