GroupChat @ Skype: bot name is included in received message

[holtkamp]

This seems/might be related to botman/botman#104

When in a group chat with a bot named "TestBot" the following occurs:

• @TestBot Hello
  • message expected: Hello
  • message received / heard: TestBot Hello
• Hello @TestBot
  • message expected: Hello
  • message received / heard: Hello TestBot

Are my expectations correct? This test suggests that the botname should be removed from the message, right?

Is there a way to get the "raw" message before the driver applies the regular expression?

Using Skype version 8.30.0.50 on MacOs

@mpociot I do not want to be rude / impatient, but is someone monitoring this library?

This issue prevents the use of Bots in a Skype GroupChat, for example to send a command to a Bot when in a GroupChat with a team....

hey @holtkamp , it is not rude. It is just this "Library"(BotMan) consists of 26 repositories around BotMan and we are mainly just 2 maintainers who don't get paid for this :-) So we try to maintain and help as possible. It looks like you are correct regarding the test, but I haven't used this driver yet and I can't look into it right now. In the meantime maybe you can join the BotMan Slack team and hopefully someone can help there sooner.

Thanks @christophrumpel for the detailed response! Hopefully I can arrange some time soon to dive into this 🤓
