15:08 <Apathetic> how does one unit test a cinch plugin?

18:30 <UbuPhillup> boa

23:34 <UberDragon> I'm working on making a flood protection script.. is there built in commands to ignore a nick or mask that I haven't found yet?

23:35 <dominikh> plugins can have filters. no global filters, but that can easily be engineered with plugin filters and some state in the bot

23:35 <dominikh> I can show you how I implemented ACLs, flood protection would be essentially the same mechanic

23:35 <UberDragon> awesome

23:36 <dominikh> https://github.com/dominikh/Mathetes/blob/cinch_rewrite/bot.rb#L3-L15 – every plugin that subscribes to ACLs calls "enable_acl" in the plugin on class level. that adds the hook, which acts as a filter. if the lambda returns false, the message gets dropped

23:37 <dominikh> via `shared`, which is a hash stored in bot that's accessed by all plugins, you can have configuration for it. in my case the entire ACL system (defined on line 46); in your case it might be a plain list of nicks to ignore

23:40 <UberDragon> hmm yeah makes sense. I'm using hash to store my seen data.. thanks.. I'll dig around in this
