immediate crash on adding mattermost account

[alexishuxley]

OS: Debian 12
Pidgin: 2.14.12-11
purple-mattermost plugin: cloned 14:15 24.09.2024 UTC
mattermost: 10.0.0

I built the plugin according to https://github.com/EionRobb/purple-mattermost/blob/master/INSTALL.md#linux-client-install-guide.

I restart pidgin, I go to add the account, fill in the details (no advanced settings), click 'Add' and it crashes.

I made a debug.log of 630 lines, so I won't paste here unless asked. The last entries in the debug.log are:

There are plenty of those unknown websocket error messages, almost from the top of the log, so I suspect that isn't actually the cause of the crash.

If you need more info then just let me know what. Thanks for your support and software!

The unknown websocket error XX actually was relevant: after completing the WS-related bits of https://docs.mattermost.com/configure/config-proxy-apache2.html it worked. However, I would prefer not to close this bug because even if the mattermost server is misconfigured, the plugin should not crash.

Agreed, definitely don't close the issue until the crash is fixed 🙂
