Telepathy-python comes with a set of example scripts which might be useful for testing. The following script runs the roster example, but could be used to run any of the examples:
- Install the required components, if they aren't already.
sudo aptitude install telepathy-python telepathy-gabble
- This isolates the rest of the script from any instances of empathy you may have running.
- It is also necessary if you are not running in an X session.
$(dbus-launch)
- Write your configuration somewhere that the example script can read it.
- Replace account and password with the correct ones.
- If your server requires any other funky configurations like server and port, add them in here.
cat > test_account.account <<EOF
manager: gabble
protocol: jabber
account: YOURACCOUNT@YOURDOMAIN.COM
password: WHATEVERYOURPASSWORDIS
EOF
for i in `seq 10` # Increase this number as high as you want once you know it works with 10.
do
python /usr/share/doc/python-telepathy/examples/roster.py test_account.account
done
Note that you will need to kill it using ^c each time it says 'waiting for changes'. If you want to speed it up, you can edit /usr/share/doc/python-telepathy/examples/roster.py and replace the line "print 'waiting for changes'" with "self.quit()"
Alternatively, you can run the roster scripts in parallel, using:
python /usr/share/doc/python-telepathy/examples/roster.py test_account.account &
inside the loop and then clean up at the end by doing:
kill -INT $(pgrep -f examples/roster.py)
I hope this helps.
