I just moved a message handler that worked before into a Cinch plugin and now the bot won't react to messages that match the pattern anymore. Even though when I start the bot it tells me that both the handler and the executor have been registered. Any idea what might be the problem?
<dominikh>
n1k: plugins have a default prefix that gets added to the patterns
<dominikh>
(the default is /^!/)
<waxjar>
dominikh, you should get on writing the default prefix thing and the message-sending-on-its-own in some document somewhere :P
<dominikh>
waxjar: heh. patches welcome :P
<waxjar>
is the github wiki in use?
<dominikh>
not for documentation
<n1k>
dominikh: I see, thanks!
<waxjar>
what's the format the documentation is written in?
<n1k>
dominikh: How can I change that prefix though?
<dominikh>
waxjar: there's the readme in markdown, and there's the docs hosted at rubydoc.info which are YARD for the api docs and markdown files for the extra documentation
<dominikh>
n1k: for the entire bot or a single plugin?
<n1k>
dominikh: for the entire bot preferably
<dominikh>
in your configure block, c.plugins.prefix = //
<n1k>
dominikh: sweet, thanks a lot!
<dominikh>
cheers
<dominikh>
waxjar: might be easiest to just have a FAQ or something in the readme
<n1k>
that default prefix thing is quite confusing I must say
<waxjar>
i was thinking of extending common_mistakes.md
<dominikh>
or that, if people do read that
<dominikh>
n1k: most bots have it in a way or another, that's why I went for it. nowadays I regret the choice ;)
<n1k>
dominikh: why don't you change it then? :P
<dominikh>
n1k: because I'd have to release Cinch 3.x for that.
<dominikh>
it's a change that would break existing bots that are written for 2.x

you've got a pull request :p

darn
<dominikh>
waxjar: I'm confused.
<dominikh>
waxjar: your name and email on github is vastly different from what shows up in the commit log
<waxjar>
ah, yes. paul brickfeld doesn't exist :p
<dominikh>
... heh
<dominikh>
I kinda liked him :P
<dominikh>
merged (and slightly reworded)
<waxjar>
:)
<dominikh>
I also think that it kinda blows your cover :P

<waxjar>
yeah, i should just change it
<waxjar>
i used to be sort of emberassed about being geeky and shit, but i figured if i'd like a job as a programmer some day i'd have to start using my real identity in the commits at least
<dominikh>
... embarassed? sheesh
<dominikh>
when I was 13, I brought a C++ book to a school trip
<waxjar>
lol
<dominikh>
and yeah, real identity helps :P
<dominikh>
my name and face is on everything I do nowadays
