Research direction

Start with src/BotFrameworkDriver.php around line 74 and compare its behavior with tests/BotFrameworkDriverTest.php lines 125-132. Reproduce the two group-chat examples if possible, then add coverage for the expected normalized messages and clarify whether access to the raw message is part of the fix.

Description

This seems/might be related to https://github.com/botman/botman/issues/104

When in a group chat with a bot named "TestBot" the following occurs:

  • @TestBot Hello
    • message expected: Hello
    • message received / heard: TestBot Hello
  • Hello @TestBot
    • message expected: Hello
    • message received / heard: Hello TestBot

Are my expectations correct? This test suggests that the botname should be removed from the message, right?

Is there a way to get the "raw" message before the driver applies the regular expression?
