'LOAD' event issue?

[hemanth]

var irc = require('irc');
var client = new irc.Client('irc.freenode.net', 'myNick', {
    channels: ['#hmh'],
});
client.addListener('JOIN', function (msg) {client.send('hemanth',msg.nick)});

This does not send msg to hemanth when the users on 'JOIN'! missing something?

Also the below did not work

client.on('JOIN', function (data) {
  var message = 'Welcome to ' + data.receiver + ', ' + data.sender;
  client.say(data.receiver, message);
  console.log(data.receiver);
});

tried lowercasing "join" in the second example? it works fine for me still.

@damianb yes I had, made no difference then, but tried it again and bomb!

/Users/hemanth/node_modules/irc/lib/irc.js:548
                    throw err;
                          ^
Error: Uncaught, unspecified 'error' event.
    at Client.EventEmitter.emit (events.js:68:15)

    at Socket.EventEmitter.emit (events.js:88:17)
    at TCP.onread (net.js:390:31)

And on :

client.on('join', function (x,y,data) {
  var message = 'Welcome to ' + data.receiver + ', ' + data.sender;
  client.say(data.receiver, message);
  console.log(data.receiver);
});


/Users/hemanth/node_modules/irc/lib/irc.js:548
                    throw err;
                          ^
Error: Uncaught, unspecified 'error' event.

    at Socket.EventEmitter.emit (events.js:88:17)
    at TCP.onread (net.js:390:31)

Finally :

client.addListener('join', function(channel, who) {
    console.log('%s has joined %s', who, channel);
});

Worked 👨

If you check out the README.md on the front page, it explains how to catch those errors.

Glad to see you got it working though, I'm going to close this issue :-)
