@nafg

@lukeeey why do you ask -- are you considering creating a room?

Luke

@lukeeey

Nope the android app still isnt good enough for me to want to do that

nafg

@nafg

yeah it's terrible. Someone please fix it!!

I get a crash message a few times a day from it, even when I'm not in it

Eric Eastwood

@MadLittleMods

@lukeeey @nafg You can track gitlab-org/gitter/gitter-android-app#114

We aren't putting our focus on the mobile apps but we welcome a merge request

nafg

@nafg

Yeah, I welcome one too :laughing:

@MadLittleMods tbh I haven't noticed a lot of improvement coming to the webapp or anything else either

Eric Eastwood

@MadLittleMods

@nafg You can see what we have been up to here, https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitter/webapp/blob/develop/CHANGELOG.md

There is also a rough roadmap (dates not accurate), https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/roadmap?scope=all&utf8=%E2%9C%93&state=opened&label_name%5B%5D=Gitter&layout=QUARTERS

nafg

@nafg

@MadLittleMods looks like a slow trickle of small fixes

Eric Eastwood

@MadLittleMods

@nafg Yep, fixes, security issues, some technical debt, infrastructure maintenance, occasional feature, and getting the mobile apps building from CI

Another person is joining the Gitter team in April so I hope that gives us some more bandwidth and a bit more of a rhythm, currently just me

@nafg

:clap:

great to hear, btw didn't mean to sound like I was complaining, just clarifying

Hey folks - I’ve got a Gitter room that is tied to a Github organization. If I rename that organization… what happens to the Gitter room? Is there any way to rename the Gitter room at the same time?

Eric Eastwood

@MadLittleMods

@freakboy3742 See https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitter/webapp/blob/develop/docs/faq.md#what-happens-if-i-rename-something-on-github-org-repo

Russell Keith-Magee

@freakboy3742

@MadLittleMods Thanks - didn’t find that page poking around the support page. A follow up Q: we were hoping to do the rename by transferring all the individual repositories to the new name, rather than just renaming the org (so we retain ownership of the old name to prevent squatting). From what I’m reading on that FAQ answer, that shouldn’t be a problem - am I correct?

Eric Eastwood

@MadLittleMods

@freakboy3742 We can rename the whole Gitter community with this utility script and adjust the security descriptor to the new GitHub org

Russell Keith-Magee

@freakboy3742

@MadLittleMods Ok… that doesn’t really answer my question (or, at least, makes the answer subject to my reading/misreading of some Javascript...)

Eric Eastwood

@MadLittleMods

@freakboy3742 Sorry for not being clear. It should be fine. Just pointing out the tools we use

Russell Keith-Magee

@freakboy3742

but what I’m seeing suggests there’s no “hard” relationship with Github - the gitter channel name is just a name, which the script will change, along with changing the ownership/membership register?

All existing channel participants will be members of the new channel name (it’s the same channel, just a different name)

Eric Eastwood

@MadLittleMods

@freakboy3742 Correct, just changing the name on our side so everything else will be in tact

Russell Keith-Magee

@freakboy3742

Ok - thanks! I guess I'll be in touch in a bit with a renaming request!

Eric Eastwood

@MadLittleMods

@freakboy3742 How many repos do you plan to move btw?

Russell Keith-Magee

@freakboy3742

There’s probably 80 Github repos - but only 3 channels on Gitter.

Eric Eastwood

@MadLittleMods

kk, thanks :)

Russell Keith-Magee

@freakboy3742

We don’t have any repo-based channels - if we’re just doing the org rename, I presume you don’t need to know all the individual repos as well?

Eric Eastwood

@MadLittleMods

@freakboy3742 Correct

Even if you had repo based room, you are transferring the repos on GitHub so the GitHub ID would be the same

Russell Keith-Magee

@freakboy3742

@MadLittleMods Thanks!

@roguesec

Is there a better dev and programmer chat than gitter?

Luke

@lukeeey

Mostly discord

roguesec

@roguesec

Just discord

Mark Raynsford

@io7m

hello. i have a small organization on GitHub, and i have a single community chat room that's intended to be used for all discussion of all projects. each time i add a project, i have to reconfigure the GitHub integration to add the new repository to get notifications in the channel. this is a bit of a pain; i'm publishing lots of new small repositories fairly frequently and will be doing so for the forseeable future. is there some way to get the GitHub integration to automatically pick up new repositories in a GitHub org?

https://github.com/irradia is the GitHub org, and https://gitter.im/irradia-org/community is the channel, in case it matters

Eric Eastwood

@MadLittleMods

@io7m Maybe, start setting up a GitHub integration, then configure manually and create an org webhook https://github.com/organizations/<YOUR_ORG>/settings/hooks instead of a repo webhook

Some more info on setting up a webhook manually, https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitter/webapp/issues/2084#workaround

Mark Raynsford

@io7m

@MadLittleMods thanks, i'll give it a go

Mark Raynsford

@io7m

yep, thanks, it seems to be picking up changes in a new repository without me having to do anything

Eric Eastwood

@MadLittleMods

@io7m Merge request welcome to add some docs around the org alternative, https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitter/webapp/blob/develop/docs/integrations.md

Mark Raynsford

@io7m

@MadLittleMods i'll try and put something together

Mark Raynsford

@io7m

@MadLittleMods gitlab-org/gitter/webapp!1373

i think that covers it

Eric Eastwood

@MadLittleMods

@io7m Merged :rocket: Thanks for the contribution!

I'm getting error Validation failed when trying to create a room. This is immediately after having made a room with the wrong name and permissions, so I deleted the room. Now I'm making a new room and no matter which permissions I get this error.

@MadLittleMods

@JorySchossau Validation failed usually means that your room name isn't valid. What are you trying to create?

Relevant code is here

Mark Raynsford

@io7m

@MadLittleMods i spoke too soon, i think. the GitHub webhook was delivering events for all repositories in the org, but it seems like as of a couple of days ago, it seems to have stopped. i could recreate the webhook, but i've held off doing that in case there's anything on your end you'd want to debug

Eric Eastwood

@MadLittleMods

@io7m Does GitHub still say it is delivering the events since it has stopped?

Here are some other reports: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitter/webapp/issues/2084#github-integration-activity-has-stopped-working-for-some-people

Mark Raynsford

@io7m

@MadLittleMods it seems that event delivery had stopped on GitHub's side. it was claiming that the webhook URI was returning 404. i checked the token value in the Gitter UI and it didn't match the token that was being used on the GitHub side. no idea how that happened... i've updated the token, so we'll see if delivery resumes
