11 | Useful tips for debugging: | |
12 | ||
13 | - There is a buffer called ~*fsm-debug*~ that displays all transitions and errors during the event handling. | |
14 | - There is a =jabber-debug= customization group. | |
15 | - You can set the [[file:jabber.org::#debug-log-xml][jabber-debug-log-xml]] custom variable to ~t~ to enable the XML debug console. | |
16 | - The XML console is a buffer called ~*-jabber-console-ACCOUNT-*~ by default. Enable ~jabber-debug-log-xml~ and switch to that buffer to see the incoming and outgoing XML stanzas. See [[file:jabber.org::#xml-console-mode][xml-console-mode]]. | |

18 | ** fsm.el - the Finite State Machine library | |
19 | :PROPERTIES: | |
20 | :CUSTOM_ID: fsm | |
21 | :END: | |
22 | fsm.el implements functions to define multiple [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite-state_machine][finite state machines]] (FSM), their states, and all the events associated to each of them. | |
23 | ||
24 | The following is a list of the most important functions or macros defined in this library: | |
25 | ||
26 | - ~(define-state-machine name &key start sleep)~ | |
27 | - ~(define-state fsm-name state-name arglist &body body)~ | |
28 | - ~(define-enter-state fsm-name state-name arglist &body body)~ | |
29 | - ~(define-fsm name &key strat sleep states ...)~ | |
30 | - ~(fsm-send fsm event &optional callback)~ | |
31 | - ~(fsm-call fsm event)~ | |
32 | ||
33 | It is required a name and the starting state to define a new FSM. The ~define-state-machine~ creates a new function called ~start-NAME~. Its ~start~ argument is a function argument and body definition used by the created function. The result of the new function must be a list ~(STATE STATE-DATA [TIMEOUT])~ which is the starting state of the machine. | |
34 | ||
35 | See [[file:jabber.org::*jabber-connection][jabber-connection]] section for an example. Its ~:start~ parameter explicitly mentioned, and its value is a list with the arguments ( ~(username server resource ...)~ ), a docstring ( ~"Start a jabber connection."~ ) and the body of the ~start-jabber-connection~ function. | |
36 | ||
37 | The machine requires states. They are defined with the ~define-state~ function. | |
38 | ||
39 | ** The jabber-connection FSM | |
40 | :PROPERTIES: | |
41 | :CUSTOM_ID: jabber-connection-fsm | |
42 | :END: | |
43 | jabber.el use a finite state machine (FSM) to track the current Jabber connection step. It defines a FSM called [[file:jabber.org::#fsm-connection][jabber-connection]] (or ~jc~ when it is used as parameter in functions) and several states along with their sentinels. The Org-mode tag ~:fsm:~ is used at jabber.org headlines to describe FSM definitions. | |
44 | ||
45 | *** States | |
46 | :PROPERTIES: | |
47 | :CUSTOM_ID: states | |
48 | :END: | |
49 | The following graph shows the states and their transitions, as of commit [[https://codeberg.org/emacs-jabber/emacs-jabber/commit/dddcccb926f422b03d22a66b60db46f1266eb141][dddcccb926]] (2021-03-20). The nodes represent the states and the arrows are events. | |
50 | ||
51 | All states have filter and sentinel events that do not change the FSM state. Also, they have a ~:do-disconnect~ event that change the FSM to the ~nil~ state except for the ~connecting~ state. | |
52 | ||
53 | Some state changes depend on the event and the data received, in this case, the event name has a number added. For instance, ~:stream-start1~, ~:stream-start2~ and ~:stream-start3~ is the same event (~:stream-start~) but triggers different states changes depending on the data received. | |

95 | ** Stanza processing | |
96 | :PROPERTIES: | |
97 | :CUSTOM_ID: stanza-processing | |
98 | :END: | |
99 | The following is a brief summary about the stanza processing. | |
100 | ||
101 | 1. The ~:session-established~ state is reached. | |
102 | 2. The FSM receives the event ~:stanza~ at the ~:session-established~ state. | |
103 | 3. If no error has been found, call ~jabber-process-input~. See [[file:jabber.org::*jabber-process-input][jabber-process-input]] section. | |
104 | 4. Select one of the following variables depending on the type of message received: ~jabber-iq-chain~, ~jabber-presence-chain~ and ~jabber-message-chain~. All of them contains a list of functions that process its type of message. | |
105 | 5. Call all of their functions with the jabber connection and XML data as parameters . | |
106 | 6. Continue in the same state. | |
