gomuks
A terminal Matrix client written in Go using mautrix and mauview.
Basic usage is possible, but expect bugs and missing features.
Discussion
Matrix room: #gomuks:maunium.net
Installation
Once the client becomes actually usable, I'll start making GitHub releases with precompiled executables. For now, you can either download a CI build from GitLab CI or compile from source:
- Install Go 1.12 or higher
- Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/tulir/gomuks.git && cd gomuks - Build:
go build
Simply pull changes (git pull) and run go build again to update.
Debugging
If something doesn't work but it doesn't crash, check the /tmp/gomuks/debug.log file for any errors.
Developing
Set DEBUG=1 to enable partial deadlock detection and to write panics to stdout instead of a file.
To build and run with race detection,
use go install -race and set GORACE='history_size=7 log_path=/tmp/gomuks/race.log'
when starting gomuks, then check /tmp/gomuks/race.log.<pid>. Note that race detection
will use a lot of extra resources.
Proper debuggers are too fancy, but normal prints won't work in a TUI application. To write to the
debug log mentioned previously, use the maunium.net/go/gomuks/debug package:
package foo
import (
"maunium.net/go/gomuks/debug"
)
func Foo() {
debug.Print("WHY ISN'T IT WORKING?!?!?")
debug.PrintStack()
}
