Hi all, Recently, probably due to a Skype upgrade the Gnome-Do Skype plugin does not import user names. I managed to track down the problem to a GET GROUP <ID> USERS to which Skype replies on DBUS with "" instead of GROUP <ID> USERS ... Skype.Get() method expects the response to start either with ERROR or to have GROUP <ID> USERS prefix. Because "" is not "ERROR" the code tries to extract users substring from an invalid index which fails.
The problem is that new Skype version doesn't respect the API and replies unexpectedly with an empty string. I found a workaround in http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=793313 namely to use "SEARCH FRIENDS" instead of "GROUP <ID> USERS" I've tested it and it works. Here are the changes: $ bzr diff=== modified file 'Skype/src/Skype.cs' --- Skype/src/Skype.cs2009-10-02 02:12:09 +0000 +++ Skype/src/Skype.cs2011-06-17 12:29:17 +0000 @@ -211,11 +211,14 @@ yield break; } -string handlesReply = Skype.Get ("GROUP {0} USERS", onlineGroup); +string handlesReply = SkypeObject.Invoke ("SEARCH FRIENDS"); if (handlesReply.StartsWith ("ERROR")) { Log<Skype>.Error ("Could not fetch friend handles."); Log<Skype>.Debug ("Skype returned: {0}", handlesReply); + handlesReply = ""; +} else { + handlesReply = handlesReply.Substring ("USERS ".Length).Trim (); } IEnumerable<string> handles = handlesReply.Split (new [] {','}); @@ -310,4 +313,4 @@ return input; } } -} \ No newline at end of file +} It's a hack and I'm not sure they follow the design of this module or if something else breaks.
