Infinite message loop =)

Hi, I just set up skyweb for testing.

One small thing: I believe "cd dist/demo" should read "cd dist/src/demo" on https://www.npmjs.com/package/sky-web-plus.

Here's how it went though. I had to make an account without 2FA, then I could use it with the skyweb demo.

I had to login as the bot manually in order to accept a conversation with my human account.

After that, the bot responded - but also to itself, forever... See screenshot.

Kinda funny but probably not intended?

Many greetings

Hey there ! Faced the same issue but was able to fix it by changing the if condition a bit.
if (message.resource.from.indexOf(username) === -1 && message.resource.messagetype !== 'Control/Typing' && message.resource.messagetype !== 'Control/ClearTyping') { var conversationLink = message.resource.conversationLink; var conversationId = conversationLink.substring(conversationLink.lastIndexOf('/') + 1); skyweb.sendMessage(conversationId, message.resource.content + '. Cats will rule the World'); }
The message.resource.from returns a url with the senders id , so index of username seems to not make sense here.
what i did is to slice this string and extract the last few characters which make up the sender id.
let sender =message.resource.from.slice(message.resource.from.length -26 );
and in the login function
we can store the object
var user_info = skyweb.skypeAccount.selfInfo;
and then extract the username field of this object(which is essentially the id)

so the if condition will be
if (user_info.username !== sender && message.resource.messagetype !== 'Control/Typing' && message.resource.messagetype !== 'Control/ClearTyping') { var conversationLink = message.resource.conversationLink; var conversationId = conversationLink.substring(conversationLink.lastIndexOf('/') + 1); skyweb.sendMessage(conversationId, message.resource.content + '. Cats will rule the World'); }

This essentially checks if the message received is sent by you or the other user . if its not sent by you the automated response is emitted to the sender.

Hope this helps :) if there is a cleaner way to do this please let me know .

Regards !

I got it working... learned a bit of TypeScript on the way too. Now I'll wire this demo application to my Java code in some way, and badaboom - Skype bot.
