KeyError with topics named "event" #53

Closed PureTryOut closed 3 years ago

PureTryOut commented 3 years ago

I'm currently failing to send any messages with the topic name of event.<something> (replacing <something> with some text). For example I'm trying to send event.track_playback_started but it fails and returns a KeyError. I can however send other messages like state.track_playback_started. Even a topic something like "myapplicationname_event" fails to send with the key error. Only if I remove "event" from it it succeeds.

Is "event" a reserved topic? I can't find anything about it in the documentation. The only reserved topic I can find is pub.ALL_TOPICS but obviously I'm not using that one.

Hmm, even topics like "mopidy" fail, but "mopidyf" and "eventt" or "even" succeeds. What the hell is going on...

Huh, never mind it seems the KeyError actually came from my listener function. I just didn't realize sending the message would fail because of it, that's a bit annoying to work with... Closing.
