needed on my debian sid.

I'm getting this upon opening weechat 3.0.1:

Error: API mismatch for plugin "/home/ams/.weechat/plugins/matrix.so" (current API: "20201004-01", plugin API: "20200621-01"), failed to load
 If plugin "matrix" is old/obsolete, you can delete this file.

Using Weechat (v3.0.1) from the DNF package manager on Fedora, I built and installed the plugin.

Upon opening Weechat, I received the following error message:

Which version of Weechat does the plugin currently work with?

Currently when someone share a file, the displayed link is the mxc one, which is not directly usable. It should be translated to the http link with the homeserver url.

Wondering if it's possible to add a configuration option for a proxy (or even multiple proxies), specifically SOCKS5, but I would assume that adding support for others might not be a problem if they're prefixed correctly in the config

Hi,

Is there a matrix room to discuss about this project?

Thanks.

I am currently using the legacy (non-rust) version of the weechat-matrix, but I though I post this here, if that one is in the maintenance mode. Correct me if I am wrong but currently the weechat ties channels to servers. It would be nice to tie a room/channel to space(s) it is part of using the same hierarchical scheme the server and the channel use. Why? Because then one could use a plugin such as the collapse_channel.py https://weechat.org/scripts/source/collapse_channel.py.html/ to show only part of the channels on the buflist and keep it "tidy" that way. It would add convenience as you could group big number of rooms to any number of groups one wish for by using private Spaces.

If Matrix is to grow towards the direction of Discord, there will be Spaces with rooms for each subtopic in a Space, and eventually the number of rooms one is connected grows large. Being able to expand/collapse them in a more manual manner is not possible right now and this "simple" trick would solve these problems.

Hi,

I'm trying to connect to matrix, but I always get Forbidden. I'm sure my password is correct, and it was working with weechat-matrix classic. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong..

10:52:42 matrix_org =!= | matrix: Ruma error Failed to log in: Http(FromHttpResponse(Http(Known(Error { kind: Forbidden, message: "Invalid password", status_code: 403 }))))

My conf

[look]
busy_sign = "⏳"
encrypted_room_sign = "🔒"
local_echo = on
public_room_sign = "🌍"
redaction_style = strike-through
server_buffer = merge-with-core

[network]
debug_buffer = off

[input]
markdown_input = on

[server]
matrix_org.ssl_verify = on
matrix_org.proxy = ""
matrix_org.password = "${sec.data.matrix}"
matrix_org.autoconnect = off
matrix_org.homeserver = "https://matrix.org"
matrix_org.username = "primalmotion"

It seems that nightly is necessary due to one instance get_mut_unchecked. Would it be possible to avoid this so that we can build it using rust stable?

I know matrix-rs is not "ready" yet, but considering I cannot get the python version to coexist with other plugins, I'd rather go with something rather than nothing :).

I was considering trying weechat-matrix-rs and possibly create a debian package for it. To do that though it needs to build on the current debian's packaged version or rust, which is 1.48-~1.49 at the moment.

Hi,

I juste pulled the last version of the code and I get this error:

Ruma error Failed to log in: StateStore(Json(Error("expected value", line: 1, column: 1)))

The RoomBuffer struct receives all the incoming events. It currently only prints out and handles properly a couple of events.

The event formatting should probably go into a separate file and should consist of pure methods. Something in the spirit of the message_renderer file from the python script.

hi,
a suggestion... could we please build the plugin as a "release"?

I am building for a shared user system so am concerned with size and performance for the users who do not need debug.

the different is the plugin is so much small with cargo build --release. (more then 300M!)

cargo build:

12:19:40 [email protected] ~/ la /home/creme/.weechat/plugins
.rw-r--r-- 338M creme envs 24 Jul 10:10 matrix.so

and
cargo build --release:

15:24:14 [email protected] ~/ la /home/creme/.weechat/plugins
.rw-r--r-- 25M creme envs 24 Jul 13:24 matrix.so

the buflist plugin indent buffer when they have a type localvar with a value of private or channel

weechat-matrix (the python version) set that localvar on private and channel but not the matrix version

By any means this plugin supports relay, like connecting with an irc client?

A highlight doesn't get triggered if someone mentions your nick, a localvar probably needs to be set for this to work correctly though i can't remember which one it was.

Please could you commit a cargo.lock! Trying to package this will be a pain without one.

The Python script somewhat supports smart filtering like the IRC plugin does, it is a bit flaky but often times it works well enough to hide massive amounts of joins/leaves.

To support this we should track the activity of members, e.g. every time we fetch a member to render an event that is send by that member we should save a timestamp of their last activity. Then based on that timestamp add a smart filter tag when we render membership events.

Hello guys,

Error: API mismatch for plugin "/home/whatever/.weechat/plugins/matrix.so" (current API: "20200301-03", plugin API:"20200621-01"), failed to load

I've installed weechat using lazy apt install with Ubuntu 20.04. I'm using nightly cargo and the compilation was fine. No errors.

This is my first try with weechat, what probable I've missed here?

Anything you can do on the codebase to avoid this ?

Hi,

I just updated my plugin and I can't login anymore. I got the following error

matrix: Ruma error Failed to log in: MatrixError(StateStore(Json(Error("missing field `room_type`", line: 1, column: 353))))

Hi,

My apologies for probably wasting you're time. So the documentation of this project is very small for this project, which is ok ofc.
First I would just write for the people, that have never used rust like me, that you need to install the llvm Tool set to compile. Took me a while to figure it out, but whatever.

The part I am stuck at is using this. Unlike in https://github.com/poljar/weechat-matrix there are no commands in the documentation of how to include which script. It would be nice if you helped me out there. Also if I manage to make a pull request (never did one before) I will update the documentation to include clearer installing instructions if thats ok with you.

Anyways.. thank you so much for your time and this amazing project.
Best regards.

And the lib does not like it 😅

While the script supports only to-device emoji verification we should probably support in-room verification as well.

This PR needs to be ported: poljar/weechat-matrix#211.

Like the title says, this would ease the use of other clients.

If I look at how it is done in the python script, a read marker is sent for the last event if:

• we switch to a room buffer and the last message was not already read
• when we send a message, we mark it as read when receiving it back

Sending send receipt or not should be configurable, with default to sending them.

I will try to propose a PR.

I've followed the README instructions and the plugin is now loaded into Weechat -- I see "matrix" in the "Plugins loaded" message at startup.

I've tried a few ways to use /connect and /server, but nothing seems to work -- Weechat tries to connect over IRC, not Matrix. I also tried to manually edit ~/.weechat/matrix-rust.conf (when Weechat wasn't running) but that didn't seem to do anything -- server isn't listed when I do /server list.

How can I use this plugin?

Hi,

I cannot build this project anymore, I got this:

$ cargo build
    Updating crates.io index
error: failed to select a version for the requirement `matrix-sdk = "=0.6.0"`
candidate versions found which didn't match: 0.4.1, 0.4.0, 0.3.0, ...
location searched: crates.io index
required by package `weechat-matrix v0.1.0 (/home/erdnaxeli/codaz/weechat-matrix-rs)`

Some event types can have a formatted body, this body contains a HTML formatted message.

The formatting includes colors, quotes, links, code snippets, etc...

To properly handle this we need to implement a parser and formatter.

Care should be taken when implementing this so that advanced features like hiding/showing of code snippets is possible.

Currently buffer names are room ids. This is extremely user unfriendly, the buffer should use the same name as other clients display.

For this the Room struct in the rust-sdk would need to be enhanced to handle events that change the room name as well as provide a method to calculate room display names.

Nio and the python script can be used as a guideline for this.

Hi!
I tried browsing the issues, but didn't find something similar.
I got this error trying to do cargo build just now:

Trying to read those suggested links, it looks like it's using a newer/experimental rust version?
(Should I try that? Seems I'm currently running rustc 1.53.0 (53cb7b09b 2021-06-17))

Most clients in the Matrix ecosystem support markdown at their input line to send HTML formatted events.

The Python script has a custom input line parser that combines standard Weechat IRC input and some markdown. Supporting markdown properly and ignoring the Weechat IRC input for now would probably be the way to go.

A config option that can be toggled to enable/disable the markdown parsing should be added as well.

The most important feature would be to export room encryption keys per room. This would allow, for instance, an old member of an E2E encrypted room to supply keys to a newer member so they can read history prior to their join.

The function export_keys from the Rust SDK could be used for the implementation.

Note that there is already a /keys export command which exports all keys. The implementation of the current /keys export command is here. As a first pass, the use case in this issue could be satisfied by implementing /keys export --room-id ROOM_ID.

What are the steps to start using this after moving the file matrix.dylib (renamed from libmatrix.dylib) to ~/.weechat/plugins/.

When i load the plugin and it takes a while with high CPU-load, then goes online and weechat starts grinding disk like i've never seen. I get constant 600kB-1M/s disk access for days and days. As soon as i unload the plugin the activity stops. This happens every time.... What's this about?

The Python script supports SSO login by starting a local HTTP server that waits for the loginToken. The helper for the Python script can be found over here.

We'll likely want an in-process server instead.

Panic in the main Weechat thread: panicked at 'called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: MatrixError(StateStore(Sled(Corruption { at: None, bt: () })))', src/server.rs:758:72

Restarting doesn't fix it. Using master build c4d0f1e

There appears to be some implicit assumptions being made about the build environment.

Although it's somewhat obvious, the docs don't mention a hard dependency on weechat-dev or similar packages. However, with that installed, stddef.h (required by weechat-plugin.h) is not being found.

I'm not exactly sure what it's referring to:

xxx@professorx:~/Development/community/weechat-matrix-rs$ fdfind stddef.h /|grep -vE 'flatpak|media'

It might be worth making mention of non-rust build dependencies in the README.

Upon re-connection, previous session's chat log is not shown. I think there is no need to "save" any logs upon exit since Matrix protocol saves the logs in server-side.

Thanks for this project 😊

is the plugin to old for weechat?

The Python script supports redacting events, though the command is a bit clunky with the syntax so we might want to figure out a better syntax for the command as well.

Hi,

I just got this error

Panic in the main Weechat thread: panicked at 'not yet implemented: We don't handle redacted state yet', src/room/members.rs:306:17

And I think after that receiving any message from matrix is broken (sending a message still work).

Currently the users in the nicklist are using the full mxid.

For this the Room struct in the rust-sdk would need to be enhanced to all the member changing events and provide a way to calculate the current display name of a user.

We didn't specify that the command requires a subcommand, should be an easy one-line fix.

The Python script supports joining rooms but it's a bit bare bones. Since the rust-sdk keeps track of invited rooms we can at least complete rooms we have been invited to.

This first needs support in the rust-sdk, after that it should be as simple as checking if the room is encrypted and showing a sign for the different verification states.

The topic command should allow users to set or remove the topic. It should work similarly to the IRC /topic command
