Jabber Bot, helloworld example - demobot01 is offline

peterbailey — Tue, 04 Jun 2019 09:48:28 GMT

Hello. I'm a newbie to this site and jabber etc. I am trying to build some jabber bots. I am using the sandbox and following the helloworld example. I am using the js code from the example, and it executes correctly and tells me that demobot01 is connected. When I RDP into the jabber windows client to test and converse with the bot, it says that demobot01 is offline.

Not sure if I missed something or what. The example looks simple, and if the demobot01 was online, I could go ahead and start testing things.

Anyone know what is happening here? Any help with this greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Peter

Hi Peter,

The time in jabberbot host didn't sync with domain controller, and that's the reason why it cannot be online. I've corrected it and the bot is working now.

Besides, we've moved the weather service module to "weather-js" since Yahoo weather API was retried in this Jan. Please check the updated code in jabber_bot.js.

Thanks,

Bob

Hi, i tried it today, it is not working.

when i make demobot1 online, with the command "node jabber_bot.js", it says "I am connected".

I saw that available from jabber too.

when i type "weather chicago" or hi, it goes offline and in the demobot1 - gives out this error:
