Readme missing variable name when creating executor

[raLaaaa]

Hey, thanks for the hint! You are right the readme is missing the variable name.
I'll adapt that :)

You indeed need to import the library. The terminal output you pasted hints that the library is not correctly imported.
import io.taliox.zulip.ZulipRestExecutor; should fix that.

Thanks, that import helped! However, when I added the code to send a message it does not compile again. Of course I understand it won't send the message until I fill in my API key, stream and such but it should at least compile. Do I need another import line? I already tried import io.taliox.zulip.PostMessage; and import io.taliox.zulip.*;

Sorry for the newbie questions.

BTW you made a small typo in your commit this morning of the spelling of executor.

Code:

import io.taliox.zulip.ZulipRestExecutor;

class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    ZulipRestExecutor executor  = new ZulipRestExecutor("[email protected]", "apikey","https://zulip.example.com/");

    PostMessage postMessage = new PostMessage("streamname", "topicname", "hello world");
    String response = executor.executeCall(postMessage);
  }
}

Terminal output:

 javac -classpath .:/run_dir/junit-4.12.jar:target/dependency/* -d . Main.java
Main.java:7: error: cannot find symbol
    PostMessage postMessage = new PostMessage("streamname", "topicname", "hello world");
    ^
  symbol:   class PostMessage
  location: class Main
Main.java:7: error: cannot find symbol
    PostMessage postMessage = new PostMessage("streamname", "topicname", "hello world");
                                  ^
  symbol:   class PostMessage
  location: class Main
2 errors
compiler exit status 1


I guess I shouldn't do things in a hurry, fixed it.

You have to do import io.taliox.zulip.calls.messages.PostMessage; to access this class.
I'm not sure why import io.taliox.zulip.*; did not work though.

[raLaaaa]

I'm assuming you could fix it. I'll cose this issue.

[JonathanLindsey]

That is fine. Thank you.

Just for your information this explains why import io.taliox.zulip.*; doesn't work.
