noarchive:true doesn't work

Code: on('chat:message', function(msg) { if(msg.type == 'api' &amp;&amp; msg.content.indexOf('!debug') == 0 &amp;&amp; playerIsGM(msg.playerid)) { sendChat('Debug', 'Test', {noarchive: true}); } }); Chat: "Test" "!debug" Expected: Message from narrator appears in text chat but not in chat archive Actual: Message appears in both text chat and chat archive Here's a game where I've set the bug up in the simplest context possible: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/join/21167268/QtRUyQ" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/join/21167268/QtRUyQ</a> &nbsp; No special conditions required. noarchive is simply not being respected.

Have you sent this in to Roll20 Help Center yet?&nbsp; That is my advice to hope to get attention and a reply for it&nbsp;

Hi Quinn! I think you are missing an argument. You must include a null (or actual function) as the third argument so the options object becomes the fourth parameter. Try: on('chat:message', function(msg) { &nbsp; &nbsp; if(msg.type == 'api' &amp;&amp; msg.content.indexOf('!debug') == 0 &amp;&amp; playerIsGM(msg.playerid)) { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; sendChat('Debug', 'Test', null, {noarchive: true}); &nbsp; &nbsp; } });

Updated script, issue persists.

Hmm. I use noarchive in almost all of my scripts without issue. I just checked my own campaign chat archive and found nothing that shouldn't be there. I entered the script as I posted above and ran the command: !debug bob !debug bob Here are my chat results ("Test" shows), and my Chatlog ("Test" is missing and shows only the bobs).

If you are testing in rapid succession, sometimes you can run into a situation where you briefly have two sandboxes overlapping. I'd suggest checking the script, making sure it is saved, exiting the game and restarting it, just to use the nuclear option.

BTW, your join link is probably safe, if it's a throwaway game, but we usually warn folks away from publicly posting join links. It can lead to vandalism or harassment.

Could this possibly be specific to the Default/Experimental API sandbox setting?&nbsp;

I ran it under both, to be sure.

For what it's worth, I was able to reproduce the issue. Then I cleared the chat log and could no longer do so.

Interesting. That might be able to explain the discrepancy. Quinn, does that step work for you? It might be worth clearing cache and cookies as well.

Jim R. said: For what it's worth, I was able to reproduce the issue. Then I cleared the chat log and could no longer do so. I missed the terminology. log or archive? I assume the latter.

Huh... interesting. How it's going for me: Say A, !debug, Say B All three appear in text chat Check chat archive, all three appear there Refresh game Debug message gone from text chat Refresh chat archive, debug message gone from there It seems like the actual behavior is that the noarchive messages persist on both screens until you refresh the tab, then they vanish from both.

Oh yeah, I only posted the link because the game has no actual game content. I'd never do that for an actual campaign.

That is unusual behavior. Did you try Jim' suggestion of actually clearing the chat archive? They are known to become corrupted, though this is much less common than it used to be. Also, is the chat archive window open while you are actually running the script? I opened the window after the fact. I'll test for concurrent behavior.

Cleared chat archive, and it's working now. Very strange, but at least I can brute force it if necessary.

Nope, the chat archive doesn't even update for me if it is open. It only populates on a refresh of the archive page and never shows the noarchive entries. I'll try joining your game.

Joined. GM me when you get the chance.

Promoted, but I'm not sure what you're saying. AFAIK the chat archive has never had the ability to update without refreshing the tab. As far as I can tell, ultimately, noarchive does seem to work, just sometimes on a short delay, so my problem is more or less solved at this point.

Ah, if that's the case then, I'll just boot myself from the game.
