#613 closed defect (fixed)
Better input validation on default_target setting
| Reported by: | Owned by: | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Priority: | major | Milestone: | |
| Component: | BitlBee | Version: | 1.2.6 |
| Keywords: | Error Channel does not exist | Cc: | |
| IRC client+version: | mIRC, XChat, YChat and ClIRC | Operating System: | Public server |

Description
Most of the times when i'm trying to use any command in &bitlbee it says "Channel does not exist". For me it doesn't matter, because it's possible to /msg the root thing, but it is a bug.

I got it using all of those clients. I tested some webclients like CGI:IRC and Mibbit, but with those clients you got it too.

Is this using im.bitlbee.org?
Even with a clean account?

Yes, i'm using im.bitlbee.org, but i don't really know what you mean with clean account. I just registered and changed some settings, like what everyone does.

If you just log in under a new nick that you haven't used there before, it still happens?
Just making sure, maybe you enabled some setting that makes BitlBee behave like this. Otherwise I have no clue how a bug like this can come up in several (very common) IRC clients.

I already found a way to fix it. I setted all my settings back and then slowly, step by step setting it in my way. Now it works fine again. Ps. I don't really get why we are speaking English if we're both Dutch...

You're right, except this is a public bug tracker, so using a universal language is not a bad idea.
Any clue which setting caused this odd behaviour then, BTW?

I think it's about the settings which are standard set as 'root'. I setted some of them to 'Admin', which changed the settings of root's nick, and some other things.

Oh, ah. default_target, I think? That one's a bit dangerous, I think you're not the first to have some problems with it. I should add some verification to it, yeah. I'll keep this bug open for that.
Glad you have the problem resolved, at least.
"Bedankt en veel plezier!"

Yeah, if you keep this one open, people can find how to solve it if they use the search engine.

That should be fixed in the current code.
Hm, and you get that using any of the IRC clients mentioned in the bug report?
