Send messages via matrix chat protocol right from your command line

matrix.sh's Issues

Accept the token as a parameter

This tool is very good in CI/CD pipelines, but I am not confident providing the username and password for it to extract the token. It should be good to allow provident the token as an argument, usually provided from the secrets manager store.

--join-room doesn't work

$ ./matrix.sh --join-room
Enter the ID or address of the room you want me to join: #myroom:matrix.org

An error occurred. The matrix server responded with:
M_UNKNOWN: No known servers

Sending a single line string appends "\n" to it

This is only a "cosmetics" report.

I'm on

• Raspberry Pi OS 32bit (Buster)
• Latest Synapse running on the same Pi.

I can send text messages without problems, but when I'm sending a file like this:

/opt/matrix_cli/matrix.sh --identifier='system.internal' --room='!***********:domain.cc' --file="/my/diff.txt"

The raw data of the message show

"content": {
    "body": "diff.txt\n",
    "msgtype": "m.file",
    "filename": "diff.txt\n",
    "url": "mxc://domain.cc/********************"

and when trying to download the file, it will be saved as diff.txt_. Content of the file is fine.

Let me add that I'm so happy about your script. It also did work right away.

Sorry - Failure in layer8 -.-

--select-default-room doesn't work

$ ./matrix.sh --select-default-room
Getting Rooms...
Joined rooms:
jq: error (at <stdin>:1): null (null) has no keys

Rooms I'm invited to:
jq: error (at <stdin>:1): null (null) has no keys
Which room do you want to use?
Enter the room_id (the thing at the beginning of the line): #myroom:matrix.org

An error occurred. The matrix server responded with:
M_UNRECOGNIZED: Unrecognized request

Thanks for your work! Please provide a FOSS license for the script.

File upload via Pantalaimon

I'm trying to use Pantalaimon so that messages become encrypted.

Simple text works ok. Images don't. Since this does not happen if not using Pantalaimon, it can be that the issue is not with Matrix.sh but pantalaimon itself, but i cannot debug further.

Error in matrix.sh:

matrix.sh --image --file=5Mph94m.jpeg

Video uploads result in error

Hello.

While attempting to upload a video to a channel, the script does not return a error.

On the element website the message is already in error prompting to send a log.tar to synapse Github

On the element android app, the file name shows up, pressing on it returns "url is null".

Aparently, this is caused by a filename with spaces in it.

Can anyone confirm this behaviour ?

No message to send given when sending output

When sending output, for example like in readme ls -l | ./matrix.sh the error No message to send given is received.

The Generated Identifier Is Leaking Crucial Private Information

The generated identifier during the login (used for initial_device_display_name) is built using private information that a user may not want to share with others (local user and host name).

This should be properly documented and possible to easily overload, e.g. there could be a --custom-identifier option with its help mentioning how the default identifier is constructed out of the local user and host names.
