pyicqt - issue #177

Nicknames are wrong for some contacts upon registration


Posted on May 18, 2009 by Helpful Panda

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Register with PyICQt. 2. Let it retrieve the contact list.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Expected are nicknames as they go in the user details for the corresponding UIN; however, some of the UINs have incorrect nick names on the roster, and the most troubling part about it is that those nicknames belong to other users. In the user details one can see the 'real' nickname. There's no 'swapping' of nicknames, however. Maybe, a string variable responsible for the nickname on the roster is not reset correctly somewhere in the code as most of those occurrences seem to happen with users who had not specified a nickname in their user details (though that's not true for all cases).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? jabber-pyicq-transport-0.8.1.3,1 on FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE, amd64, Python 2.5.
