Anyone already use picoirc package ?

Post by CrazyCat »

Hi there,

I'm trying to use picoirc but I can't have any result.
I probably misunderstood how it works, so if anyone knows...

My (actual) try:

Code: Select all

package require picoirc

proc test {} {
   set myirc [::picoirc::connect cbirc testor "irc://irc.zeolia.net/test"]
}

proc cbirc {context state args} {
   puts "Callback is here with $args"
   switch $state {
      init {
         puts "Initialized with $context"
      }
      connect {
         puts "connected ?"
         ::picoirc::post $context "/join #test2"
      }
      close {
         puts "Well, close with $args"
      }
      debug {
         puts "D --> $args"
      }
      default {
         puts $state
         }
     }
}
And when using:

Code: Select all

crazycat@dev:~$ tclsh
% source ircclient.tcl
% test
Callback is here with
Initialized with ::picoirc::irc1
::picoirc::irc1
And nothing appear in IRC, neither in my ircd logs...

Ok, here is the answer
13:23:35 <mjanssen> CrazyCat: your eventloop is not running
13:23:54 <mjanssen> instead of directly calling test do after 10 test ; vwait forever
13:24:17 <CrazyCat> mjanssen> oh ? let me try that
13:24:18 <mjanssen> after 10 test ; will schedule the call to test as soon as the eventloop starts running
13:24:29 <mjanssen> vwait forever ; will start the event loop
13:26:34 <CrazyCat> oh yes it works !
