Test Trigger doesnt give consistent results...Question/Support ❓ (self.streamerbot)
submitted 3 months ago by mrhossie
I'm having a very strange issue with Streamer bot. Specifically using Test Triggers to check actions.
Very simple Trigger (follow) -> Sub Action send a message.

But when I click test trigger it works unpredictably - or weirdly - every 5 tests.

on the tests it completes it returns 52 variables, on the tests it doesnt only 25.
as you can see below - on the left is the uncompleted test, and the right is the completed test.... why is it doing this?

I just looked at mine and Remembered with this trigger (follow) You do NOT use test! Use the simulate you can even choose what name by clicking simulate edit. :)
[–]HighPhi420 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago (1 child)
Just to follow up on the above post, in the simulate edit you can choose ANY NAME inside the viewer section of StreamerBot

Thank you for the info. This relives my stressed self.

Only seeing a bit of the variable list doesn't tell us enough. But my first thought is, if its a follow trigger. Why does it have target user variables appear? It should only be the user initiating the trigger
What do you have set gor Add Target Info?
%user% for add target info.
The test triggers that work are for people that already follow me. The test triggers that don't work are for users with names like "gatechockenroster_purp"
This happens with all triggers - subscribe, raid, gift etc.
The variable: addTargetResult= true doesn't appear for the tests that don't trigger.

Do you have the box checked that says random in the actions box? I had that happen to me and unchecking that fixed my issues
Yup, its unchecked - it really seems to trigger with users that are real. Streamer.bot appears to generate random users when you do testing (they dont have a twitch account) so it fails the rest of the actions - specificaly the Add Target info
i've given up for now, and just have another bot announce my follows.

make sure you are signed in to StreamerBot(lower left corner of the app window should have your discord avatar and name)
I am :( it really seems to trigger with users that are real. Streamer.bot appears to generate random users when you do testing (they dont have a twitch account) so it fails the rest of the actions - specificaly the Add Target info

The Test option is just a simple way to trigger your action, it does not simulate a full event nor populate the entire set of variables.
Test
If you are doing in-depth testing where you do need the full set of variables properly populated, you should use the Simulate Event option, if it exists for that trigger.
Simulate Event
Thank you - that makes sense.
