sendPrivateMessage not actually sending the whisper

duncte123 commented 2 years ago

Prerequisites

[ ] If this is a question/suggestion, I have already considered discussing it on the Discord Server
[X] I have attempted to look for similar github issues already

Expected Behavior

The bot sends me a whisper containing the text I provide

var event = ChannelMessageEvent instance
// this.client is an instance of TwitchClient

// neither of these work
this.client.getChat().sendPrivateMessage(
    event.getUser().getName()/*.toLowerCase()*/, // lower/non lower does not make a difference
    "the word"
);
event.getTwitchChat().sendPrivateMessage("duncte123", "test 123");

Current Behavior

The bot never sends a whisper

To send whispers make sure your chat token has the whispers:edit scope.

Whispers send from non known/verified bot accounts will be evaluated by a spam classifier and might be dropped. You can request known/verified status for your bot here: https://dev.twitch.tv/limit-increase

Responding to whispers usually works a lot better, initiating contact from the bot isn't very succesful in general. Whispers might be dropped even on known/verified bot accounts, do not expect bot whispers to work reliably.

Thanks for the info! It would be nice if that scope was also documented in the library's documentation https://twitch4j.github.io/docs/chat/send-private-message/
