hangouts-bot send message

I couldn't figure out sending messages. I tried the following

var hangoutsBot = require("hangouts-bot"); var bot = new hangoutsBot("xxxxx", "xxxx");

bot.on('online', function() { console.log('online'); bot.sendMessage("[email protected]","testing from nodejs");

});

bot.on('message', function(from, message) { console.log(from + ">> " + message); });

Can you receive messages in the console if you send a message to the bot while its connected?

Yes. and also if someone else sends me while the bot is connected, it's well received.

Is the username you're sending to friends with the bot, I.e. if you log in as the bot can you message that address?

Yup. I checked this too, I am friends with the person I am trying to send.

That's strange. It works on my machine™, so I'll have to debug this when I get home from work

Just played with it some more. Works for me when I put in my gmail address in the [email protected] format. Not really sure what to think. Any errors coming up?

Can you put a console.log statement in node_modules/hangouts-bot/index.js in here:

      this.sendMessage = function(to, message) {
                var stanza = new xmpp.Element('message',
                        {
                                to: to,
                                type: 'chat'
                        })
                        .c('body')
                        .t(message);

                this.connection.send(stanza);
        }

to verify it is getting to that piece?
