Error - e.sendChatMessage is not a function

[Crius]

Fresh out of the skillet:

Tried with both giphy and tenor, not that it would matter when the problem is not loading the content but putting it into the chat, but eh.

I’ve just sent one as a test here on Meta and it seems to be working fine. Have you also updated your Discourse to Latest along with the component?

[Crius]

It’s updated since I first raised the issue

[JammyDodger]

My test site is on the latest version as of today 1abfe2e61d, which seems to be different than yours, so it looks like you could maybe try an update from your /upgrade page and see if that helps

I think there was an issue with gifs in chat a couple of weeks back, and the theme component update also relies on a later version of Discourse to work fully.

Yes, that commit/your Discourse version is over a month old DEV: Enable color CI output and tweak formatting (#21527) · discourse/discourse@eec10ef · GitHub

There have since been changes to the Chat API: FIX: uses chat api new sendChatMessage (#38) · discourse/discourse-gifs@eb3ec48 · GitHub

So I wouldn’t expect this to work either.

[Crius]

Weird that discourse didn’t warn me I was running an old version.

Anyway I’ve updated and now it seems to be properly adding the gifs in the chat as well. Thank you for helping finding out what was going wrong

New commits are added almost every day. Not everyone wants to update that often, so will generally only do one when they want a particular new feature or a fix they’ve been waiting on. The version checks with the green/red faces are done when there’s been a version bump rather than on every new commit.
