[FIXED] Bug in reception of images about fbchat

[thekindlyone]

@Bravo111 try this instead of the offending line.. should work.
return json.loads(r._content[9:].decode('utf-8'))['payload']['metadata'][0]

[Bravo111]

@thekindlyone always catch "TypeError: the JSON object must be str, not 'bytes'" exception. Even when use your example (and image url)

[thekindlyone]

@Bravo111 which example? which python are you using? Show test code please.

[Bravo111]

I run this code with python3.5:
imgurl = "http://i.imgur.com/LDQ2ITV.jpg"
client.sendRemoteImage(friend.uid, image=imgurl)
and get an error.
I guess there is a problem in this line return json.loads(r._content[9:])['payload']['metadata'][0]['image_id'].

[thekindlyone]

@Bravo111 this is the reception of images thread. You are talking about sending images.
But this is not happening in 2.7. Let me check.

[thekindlyone]

There are too many pulls right now, and a little bit of a mess due to my inexperience with git. I am pausing sending any more PRs unless the ones already sent are merged. Clone the project and try what I said. Lemme know if it works.

[Bravo111]

@thekindlyone, yes, it works great. Don't forget ['image_id'] in the end of this line!
Is it possible to receive images with Echobot now?

[thekindlyone]

Yes, image receiving works, but I havent tested it with python3. Please test and tell.

[Bravo111]

@thekindlyone, unfortunately it receives empty message with 'has_attachment': False.

[thekindlyone]

@Bravo111 , receiving , right? Check the metadata.. the urls for the images are in there.

[Bravo111]

@thekindlyone, is image_ids[0] what I need? Because there are nothing else in output but timestamps and ids.

[thekindlyone]

@Bravo111 , no , in the on_message method, that you overrode, you get a metadata argument. The url is in there.

[Bravo111]

Think we have different output

[thekindlyone]

@Bravo111 are you sending or receiving? this output looks like you have debug=True and are sending. Show test code.

[Bravo111]

Receiving. Here's the code:

[thekindlyone]

@Bravo111 do you see the metadata argument in the on_message method? That is where the url is. Instead of printing message, print metadata. The output you showed me is generated while sending the echo. Turn debug=False if the output is confusing you.

[Bravo111]

@thekindlyone, yes, now all works perfect. Thanks for tips.
