Chatbot Dev

ProgramFOX

10:00 AM

ok, cya

overactor

@ProgramFOX @ArtOfCode cya

@ProgramFOX Oh, Command objects still need a ref to chatbot

I'm not sure how to make that happen

ProgramFOX

I know, doing that together with the builtin-split.

overactor

maybe a set_bot() function there afterall?

okay, cool

I look forward to seeing what it becomes

I did some small commits btw

merging should be easy

ProgramFOX

Yeah, I saw them.

overactor

Would you prefer if I waited longer with commits untill some changes have accumulated

It's basically a question of clutter vs not knowing what a commit actually did

ProgramFOX

10:03 AM

No, feel free to commit whenever you want.

Ah, this is annoying, importing a module from a subdirectory is easy but importing the Module file from the top directory is harder...

oh wait, it isn't

Working with Python packages is a bit of a pain, but just doing import Module from the subdirectory works fine.

ProgramFOX

10:22 AM

>>> __import__('builtins.utils')
<module 'builtins' from 'builtins\__init__.pyc'>

eh

for some reason it imports the init...

Adding this to the __init__.py file helps:

from utils import *

Aha! We should use importlib instead of __import__

That works \o/

FOX 9000

@ProgramFOX Commands: listcommands, random, randomchoice, randomint, shuffle, translate, xkcd, xkcdrandomnumber

ProgramFOX

>>alive

@FOX9000 That works but that isn't included in the separate module...

Ah, of course, I don't return the value. facepalm

ProgramFOX

on the console it works...

perhaps a dead websocket or something

>>alive

As I thought! The bot auto-rejoins the room on a dead websocket.

>>alive

FOX 9000

@ProgramFOX Yes, I'm alive.

ProgramFOX

YEESSSSSS!

@overactor ^ :D

now some more refactoring is needed to split up all commands and avoid superfluous code

user153821

ArtOfCode

>>points star 22494023

ProgramFOX

Oh @ArtOfCode, just in case the bot does not respond and there are no errors, the cause is most likely a dead websocket. The bot will auto-recover from this.

ArtOfCode

Oooh fair enough

The stars work now

ProgramFOX

\o/

whoops the refactoring broke my unit tests

ArtOfCode

10:39 AM

well that sounds like fun

ArtOfCode

>>points admin ArtOfCode 411

user153821

@ArtOfCode Changed points for ArtOfCode by 411. New total: 1000

ProgramFOX

tests fixed

ArtOfCode

Good good

ProgramFOX

10:42 AM

there were very few anyway

ArtOfCode

@Zizouz212 When you're around, can you have a go at implementing a stars dictionary, with load and save?

Like "who starred this message"

so something like

FOX 9000

Bot started.

ProgramFOX

>>listcommands

ArtOfCode

Points = {
    27364652: "ArtOfCode"
}

ProgramFOX

oh, screw you, websockets

>>alive

whatever I'll use the console then

ah, it just recovered

>>listcommands

pffft

FOX 9000

10:45 AM

Commands: alive, help, listcommands, random, randomchoice, randomint, shuffle, translate, utc, xkcd, xkcdrandomnumber

ArtOfCode

>>xkcd 926

ProgramFOX

And... including module commands in listcommands is status-completed :D

ArtOfCode

>>xkcd 926

...

ProgramFOX

@ArtOfCode websockets are dead, I don't know whether it's just on my end or not

ArtOfCode

oh my bot's crashed

ProgramFOX

10:47 AM

bot manually killed

user153821

ProgramFOX

10:49 AM

uh oh two bots

ArtOfCode

this will be fun

ProgramFOX

... and mine is broken

ArtOfCode

:22494264... interesting

it's meant to be a reply

ProgramFOX

yeah

but the return value is empty somehow

ah, yup

ArtOfCode

I guess if we're stopping bots we should do so from the console, to avoid killiing both

user153821

10:50 AM

Bot terminating

ProgramFOX

I registered the command as "listcommand"...

ArtOfCode

...

yeah

FOX 9000

Bot started.

user153821

Bot started.

ProgramFOX

@ArtOfCode shouldn't matter, we don't have privileges on the other bot anyway

ArtOfCode

10:51 AM

Ah that's true

ProgramFOX

>>listcommands

FOX 9000

@ProgramFOX Commands: alive, help, listcommands, random, randomchoice, randomint, shuffle, translate, utc, xkcd, xkcdrandomnumber

ArtOfCode

ProgramFOX

there we go

ProgramFOX

10:52 AM

um

it should say "Command not found."

ArtOfCode

not meant to happen...

ProgramFOX

ah, I found the cause

@ProgramFOX Command not found.

websockets, probably

ArtOfCode

>>xkcd 223

yeah

user153821

One of these days me and Joey Comeau will get around to subverting the hetero-normative paradigm and fixing all this.

ProgramFOX

11:01 AM

I'm off for lunch.

ArtOfCode

hokey oke

about an hour before me, strangely

overactor

Hi guys

@ProgramFOX Awesome

Hi @ArtOfCode

ArtOfCode

@overactor afternoon

overactor

@ArtOfCode barely

ProgramFOX

11:25 AM

I'm back.

overactor

@ProgramFOX Hi there awesome

work

I'm looking if I can get the path to the module be relative to where the current module file is

ProgramFOX

I'm going to continue on splitting up the modules. Then the biggest part of the refactoring is done. Thanks a lot for your help @overactor!

overactor

@ProgramFOX No problem, I'll work on the relative paths

ProgramFOX

@overactor The relative paths? Oh, that's fixed already.

You don't need to worry about them if you import the Module file in your module as import Module or from Module import Commands or similar.

overactor

@ProgramFOX I want to be the problem is that now for every module, you need the relative path from Module.py to the module

ProgramFOX

11:34 AM

@overactor yeah, that's stored in ModuleManifest.py, but what's the problem with having those paths there?

overactor

btw, passing the bot as an argument to the command execute function was pretty smart

@ProgramFOX Well, If i want to add a MetaModule from someone else, I have to change his MetaModule file

ProgramFOX

:)

@overactor Change his MetaModule file? You only have to change your Manifest file, not?

overactor

since it might not be in the same folder in my project

ProgramFOX

Oh, if you want to import stuff from another folder you'll get into trouble with the imports.

overactor

yup

ProgramFOX

11:37 AM

The modules have to be either in the same directory, or in a subdirectory, then it will work.

overactor

I just want to paste in the folder, add it to my Manifest and done

@ProgramFOX I tried, it didn't work

ProgramFOX

What didn't work? Same dir, or subdir?

overactor

subdir

wait

ProgramFOX

don't forget to put an __init__.py file in your subdir and to use dots instead of slashes in the manifest, see my code

overactor

do you always have to add a '.' ?

ProgramFOX

11:38 AM

I currently use a subdir.

overactor

if it's in the same dir

ProgramFOX

a question mark?

overactor

.

sorry

ProgramFOX

if it's in the same dir, you'll never have to put a dot at all

if it's in a subdir, use a dot to replace a slash

overactor

ah no wait, same dir didn't work

I put

meta.py

# The modules listed in this file can be read and loaded as a MetaModule into another MetaModule by the load_module() function

modules = [ # A list of all (Meta)Modules in this MetaModule.
    'utils',
    'xkcd',
    'nested.NestedModule'
    # ...
]

in the builtins dir

ModulesManifest.py

module_file_names = [
    'builtins.meta'
]

NestedModule.py is in builtins/nested

ProgramFOX

11:40 AM

You might need to add builtin. before the file names in your modules list.

overactor

It didn't find utils though

@ProgramFOX That's exactly what I don't want

ProgramFOX

Ah, now I see.

overactor

But I have an idea

when I import a module file. I'll see in what dir it is relative to me

and add that before the path

ProgramFOX

... unless it is already added before the path

overactor

@ProgramFOX you're not allowed to add it

only relative paths

ProgramFOX

11:42 AM

oh

well, that should work

overactor

(relative from the metamodule to the submodule)
