Description (Last modified by catfish_man)

Problem

When you close a MSN chat window immediately after sending a message, a connection error will be reported.

Steps to reproduce Login to MSN Open a chat window Type a message Immediately after hitting "enter", close the window (using command+w) You'll get a 'Could not send message' back, and the message is either sent or not sent (can't figure that one out).

I think Adium doesn't send the message correctly when you close the window too soon.

The debug window output relevant is as follows:

  • milestone changed from Adium X 1.0 to Adium X 1.0.1.

Not a regression.

I see this on a daily basis, using the latest beta version of Adium (1.0b14).

Problem was not present for me up until upgrading to 1.0b16, now at b17, and problem is still present.

  • milestone changed from Adium X 1.2 to Good idea for "later".

Moving to the good idea milestone, move back individually if you intend to work on these.

  • patch_status set to None.
  • version changed from 1.0b11 to 1.1svn.
  • milestone changed from Good idea for "later" to Needs dev review.

Definitely occurs in all the versions since 1.0 final. I have confirmed that the message does indeed send every time I've received this, so it might be best to detect and simply not show the error. If any further debug logging is required, let me know.

don't know if it's still relevant mentioning, but I'm having this problem aswell, console says: May 3 17:46:22 Dirk-Sierd /Applications/Adium.app/Contents/MacOS/Adium: doClip: empty path. But i'm getting this message anyhow all the time someone gets send / received. (#6847)

  • version changed from 1.1svn to 1.0.2.

General problem -> definitely not SVN specific, so setting back to last release version.

05/09/2007 04:26:29 PM changed by joonas

I have this problem too. Even with new 1.0.3. version. I have G4 and 10.4.9.

  • version changed from 1.0.2 to 1.0.3.

Interestingly if you're using Skype software and you attempt to close a message window directly after (seems like 1second) sending a message it refuses to close and gives a system beep. Almost exactly as if they are trying to prevent something similar to what is happening here with the MSN connectivity.

I thought it was an interesting point to mention... it leads me to believe that either they've got a similar problem with the implementation of their messaging services as libpurple does with the MSN servers or there's something odd going on with the way Cocoa is currently handling connectivity. The latter guess also seems to tie in to the fact that I haven't heard of a single person using Pidgin (and couldn't find a related ticket on the Pidgin trac) encountering this problem.

Any thoughts?

I'm not an adium user, but I was googling for error messages.

I'm frequently getting "Message could not be sent because an error with the switchboard occurred" when trying to send messages to MSN contacts on gaim and pidgin.

05/15/2007 11:29:12 AM changed by jas8522

mstevens - I believe there was some nasty server issues related to MSN connectivity over the last few days. It seems to be resolved as of about noon yesterday... hopefully this is the case with you as well!

05/15/2007 11:49:49 AM changed by mstevens

I've been seeing this for quite a while, so I don't think that's the same problem.

The messages always actually seem to go through, I just get an error as well.

05/23/2007 07:15:59 AM changed by radioharris

This problem always happens for me since Adium 0.6 Please write us a patch !

05/23/2007 07:34:00 AM changed by radioharris

In the column Milestone of this ticket there is : Waiting on libpurple. But Proteus also uses this library but the bug is not present... so it seems to be specific to Adium...

05/23/2007 12:23:26 PM changed by edr1084

This should now be fixed in libpurple. We'll be able to see if that carries through to us once we merge the new version.

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to fixed.

(In [19783]) Updated libpurple to, if I'm understanding how this works correctly, c64484e549f605c8959a21553d3eb5aab736b69c. Silly monotone. Anyway, this fixes #5454 and a file transfer issue; possibly some other things as well
