Ping timeout after a few minutes

[apfohl]

Hello,

I created a fresh new hubot and plugged in the irc adapter like described in the readme. Everytime after a few minutes hubot was kicked from the channel, "Ping timeout", but the bot script does not exit.

I'm using node v0.10.19.

Interesting. Where are you running this from? Your local machine or a server of some kind? What irc server are you connecting to also?

[apfohl]

A local machine, it's a mac. Freenode.

I am not having this issue. Ran the bot on my macbook pro, connected to freenode, node 0.10.19. Has been running for 20 minutes with no issue.

Have you created a new one? Can you create a repo from that? How do you start the bot?

[jgable]

I followed the directions in the README exactly.

% npm install -g hubot coffee-script
% hubot --create myhubot
% cd myhubot
% npm install hubot-irc --save && npm install
% HUBOT_IRC_SERVER=irc.freenode.net \
  HUBOT_IRC_ROOMS="#myhubot-irc" \
  HUBOT_IRC_NICK="myhubot" \
  HUBOT_IRC_UNFLOOD="true" \
  bin/hubot -a irc --name myhubot

It still crashes. I've tried another fresh setup.

Sorry, I'm gonna have to chalk this up to your connection to the irc server. There is no reason the hubot code would cause a ping timeout issue.

@jgable and @apfohl I followed those instructions and everything is working fine on my side for the past 15 minutes. I see not timeout errors.

Sorry, it was my internet connection, but thanks anyway.

No problem.
