[swift-users] isAvailable( ) not evaluating to true...

[Marc Neeley]

Kevin,
  Thanks for the reply. That was the issue and I needed to refactor some of
the code to account for this simple difference. I had other classes that
were attempting to use this same Client instantiation and failing because of
the same problem.
Anyway I'm good now.

Thanks for the help,
Marc

This is because Swiften's an async API - the connect() call returns
immediately, and you get told when the connection completes with the
onConnected signal; only once it's connected will isAvailable() be true. I
imagine you want to move that block of code into a handleConnected method,
connect to the onConnected signal, and it should work much better - there's
a walkthrough at http://swift.im/swiften/guide/ that will probably help with
this.
