hubot-skype requires to be asked two times to respond back

[anildigital]

Noticed that.. after a delay (say hour).. if I do

hubot ping

it doesn't reply..

I have to do

hubot ping

again to get PONG back

so hubot doesn't reply to first message. (this happens after you don't use hubot for like hour or so)

I'm seeing this issue as well although it seems to happen more often than that. Hubot just doesn't seem to consistently receive messages from Skype.

Yea, I see the same but I am not sure if this project is active any more

Hope someone solves this issue.

As I understand it Microsoft is dropping (or has already dropped) API support for Skype http://blogs.skype.com/2013/11/06/feature-evolution-and-support-for-the-skype-desktop-api/. There is a comment on that post specifically asking about chat bots, and the author says they will not be supported).

I have added a note to the README. I would argue that continued development of this adapter does not really make much sense until/if Microsoft announces some sort of scripting support.

Such a shame, but understandable... Damn you Microsoft ! 👎
