             Bug #: 49422
           Summary: EnsureChannel does not return when unable to join

empathy log showing two joins to a restricted channel

The empathy developers redirected me here.

Trying to join a freenode channel that is set +r (block unidentified users)
while unidentified fails with no indication as to why. This is unfortunate, but
a more confusing issue is that empathy (or telepathy-idle) will silently refuse
to try the join again: if the channel is set -r and you retry the join nothing
happens. Debug log (from empathy, as I do not know how to more directly use
telepathy-idle) attached, with a few newlines added. Note this was from a
session that already had a window open for ##marienz (I /part-ed there before
clearing the log). Results are similar on a fresh connection, and no channel
window is ever opened.

According to an empathy developer: "the EnsureChannel() call never returns".

The channel join should fail, and do so in a way allowing Empathy to show a
relevant message to the user.

I'm using telepathy-idle-0.1.11.
