What's the recommended way to check if the session constructor was successful (i.e. the number could be dialed)?
check that s is nil.
Doesn't work ... s is never nil. Type shows it as userdata even if Session failed. Specifically my test was: local s = freeswitch.Session ( "{ignore_early_media=true,origination_caller_id_name=" .. caller .. "}loopback/" .. destination .. "/default/XML") stream:write (type(s)) if s == nil then stream:write ("-ERR call failed\n") return end and I dialed an unreachable number.
and that s.ready() is true
Checking s.ready() results in: [ERR] freeswitch_lua.cpp:102 session is not initalized if Session failed. What I'm looking for is a way to try to originate a call which doesn't throw ERR messages if the attempt fails. Explicitly calling session.originate seems to allow you to check if the call was successful ... is there a particular reason it's discouraged? I'm happy to avoid it if a better approach is available, however I'm having trouble finding one. -- John ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Feith Systems | Voice: 1-215-646-8000 | Email: john@feith.com | | John Wehle | Fax: 1-215-540-5495 | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------
