Something wrong with the chatbox...Chatbox code fix!!

My websdr crashed this morning, and wouldn't restart.

Only after deleting chat.txt it would work again.

I went into the code and changed the number of chatlines from 100 to 20....let's see if it works, in src/chat.cpp

New code:

Code Select Expand

void ChatClient::store_chat_message(const std::string& message) {
    if(chat_messages_history.size() >= 20) {
        chat_messages_history.pop_front();
    }
    else
    chat_messages_history.push_back(message);
    save_chat_history();
}
and:

Code Select Expand

void ChatClient::load_chat_history() {
    std::ifstream file("chat_history.txt");
    std::string line;
    while (std::getline(file, line) && chat_messages_history.size() < 20) {
        chat_messages_history.push_back(line);
    }
    file.close();
}
Then go into build and run: ninja

As this should reduce the chat max messages to 20 instead of 100, I THINK the chat has too many characters for the websocket to cope.

With a little luck this will solve the crashing over chatting

Have been testing and the code works...

Maybe you want to keep 100 lines....then only insert ELSE like in the first code and run ninja.

Because the ELSE was missing, it kept growing

I like the idea of only 20 lines of chat. Thanks Bas.

After 24 hours the chatbox-file is still 20 lines
