Last session was pretty frustrating. I just couldn’t figure out how to inspect the OriginalSyncRoomMessageEvent and find out the sender. It turns out I was just a little confused by the docs. The docs for OriginalSyncRoomMessageEvent are empty exept showing that it is a type aliase:

pub type OriginalSyncRoomMessageEvent = OriginalSyncMessageLikeEvent<RoomMessageEventContent>;

When I open the docs for OriginalSyncMessageLikeEvent I get full docs. This tells me that I can use the sender attribute to find the sender :O shocking.

This allowed me to finally filter the messages comming into the room by sender and finish the bot tester!

Horray!

I also ended up writing a quick test script that runs the bot with both good/passing replays and replays with unexpected responses.
