/unknowncommand/ foobar
- send a message with the text
/unknowncommand/ foobar to some recepient
- scriptassist displays a diagnostic saying
no script provides '/unknowncommand/'
- message is still being sent (
PRIVMSG #foobar :/unknowncommand/ foobar)
(2) does not play too well with (3) as the error diagnostic makes one think it should behave like the following:
/unknowncommand foobar
- send a messaage with the text
/unknowncommand foobar
- irssi states
Unknown command: unknown command
- scriptassist states
No script provides /unknowncommand
- message is not being sent.
Elaboration
It is somewhat misleading that the diagnostic is printed as if /unknowncommand/ could possibly invoke a command, when in reality it is being sent verbatim.
Note
I spoke to Nei in #irssi on libera.chat who advised me to create an issue for this matter.
