It is said that the usage is "/bot leave" whereas all other command, the in-chat-command is the same name as the python function. I don't see any redefinition for this particular case. Is that a mistake in code or am I missing something?

Thanks.

PS : Are issues a good way to ask this kind of question? Or is there a better way?

I'm trying to use some admin commands, but the bot doesn't seem to recognize me as admin, I've added both the conversation id and hangouts username of the person I want to set as admin, but I'm still getting the "I'm sorry Dave" error. What do I enter into config.json to set someone as admin?

I have made a bot in api.ai, but they don't provide integration with hangouts. hangupsbot seems to be the solution but I am not sure, is it possible?.
If its possible, how do I use hangups bot as a webservice to get and respond to the bot made in api.ai.

I seem to be experiencing an inevitable crash of hangupsbot. Not sure if you are still working on it, so no worries if not, but fwiw, the relevant traceback is below.

This has occurred each time I've tested it, a couple minutes into running and successful bot responses.

Exception ignored in: <bound method _UnixSelectorEventLoop.__del__ of <_UnixSelectorEventLoop running=False closed=True debug=False>>

Hangupsbot does not connect and gives error: "_on_connect() missing required positional argument 'initial_data'".

On line 179 the call is missing the 'initial_data' variable:
self._clienton_connect.add_observer(self._on_connect)

Hi
How do i use the command "/bot conv_add" correctly ?
I always get the error:
Request failed with status 4: 'At least one invitee is required'
Following the instructions in the conversations.py
"Usage: /bot conv_add conversation_name [user_name_1] [user_name_2] [...]",
i tried:
-/bot conv_add . 123000000000000 (the gaia_id)
-/bot conv_add . [email protected]
-/bot conv_add . john.snow
and everything with "" and []:
-/bot conv_add . "123000000000000"
-/bot conv_add . [123000000000000]
...
What am i doing wrong?

Same at "/bot conv_create":
This command produces the error:
'ConversationList' object has no attribute 'add_conversation'
when i type:
/bot conv_create Test 12300000000000 124000000000000
or
/bot conv_create Test [email protected] [email protected]

Please help

is there any way to fix this? I'm using python3.4.3.

I've cloned the repo, ran setup.py install, and pip3 belives all the dependencies are satisfied. hangupsbot returns:

hangups is running ok in my system. Now I am trying to use hangupsbot. I have gone through all the instructions given in the documentation at https://github.com/xmikos/hangupsbot/blob/master/README.rst
but I am unable to run hungupsbot.

I just got hangups and hangupsbot setup and running.

I am not quite sure how to configure hangupsbot to do autoreplies and handle commands.

{
  "admins": ["MY_USERNAME"],
  "autoreplies": [
    [["hi", "hello"], "Hello world!"],
    [["bot"], "At your service!"]
  ],
  "autoreplies_enabled": true,
  "commands_admin": ["quit", "config"],
  "commands_enabled": true,
  "commands_aliases": ["/bot", "/hal", "/cylon", "/skynet", "/terminator"],
  "forwarding_enabled": true,
  "conversations": {
    "UgwELlTjFXV9qwSBsB94AaABAQ": {
      "autoreplies_enabled": true,
      "commands_enabled": true
    }
  }
}

I have one conversation that I want to be active, but when I message in that chat, nothing seems to be happening.

For example [["hi bot"], "Hello world!"] would not be triggered when typing "hi bot".

I am making a bot which can initiate a conversation with some mail ids in my database. I can retrieve the mail ids from my database but how do i send any message to those mail ids(those are not in the conversation list).

I am running hangupsbot on a google compute engine vm instance, but the problem is after a certain period of time(due to inactivity), it disconnects and stops responding to the messages.
How to make that bot always running on that vm?

After sucessfull token exchange, may the special chars in the hangouts:

Connected!
Conversations:
Client unexpectedly disconnected:
'ascii' codec can't encode character '\xfc' in position 18: ordinal not in range(128)
Waiting 5 seconds...
Trying to connect again (try 1 of 5)...

After installing a fresh version of all dependencies and hangupsbot itself, this error is given when attempting to run hangupsbot.

hangupsbot is running in my system(linux ubuntu 14.04). But after hangupsbot is connected to my gmail account, it just shows my previous conversations.

How can i use the functionalities given(bot interaction) after this. When I write anything in the terminal, nothing happens.

Is there a way that within a command, the bot waits for an answer?

Example:

User command: get_forecast
Bot answer: Where?
User: "new york"

Everything within the same command

Hangups is global and works correctly. I recently ran this bot on an older computer without problem, maybe issues with a newer version of hangups?

How to retrieve email id of user who sent the message to bot before it is added to conversation i.e. new users?
I have tried accessing all the possible methods, but unable to get the email id (first name and last name are there) of new users(who are not in the conversation list).
