Converse.js: Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid regular expression: /(+)/: Nothing to repeat

[vitalii-kushnir]

1. I have created two test accounts ([phone] and [phone]) on the conversjs.com domain.
2. I joined to the testing room with the [phone] account and want to invite another account ([phone]) to this room
3. In the Invite input field I typed +49

Expected: I expect to see a list of account which I could invite
Result: Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid regular expression: /(+)/: Nothing to repeat

Thanks for the bug report.

This is a bug in awesomplete.js and the fix should be made upstream in that project.

Relevant debug output:

VM420:1 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected string
    at _.ITEM [as item] (awesomplete.js:329)
    at awesomplete.js:289
    at Array.forEach (<anonymous>)
    at _.evaluate (awesomplete.js:288)
_.ITEM @ awesomplete.js:329
(anonymous) @ awesomplete.js:289
evaluate @ awesomplete.js:288

I'm not going to fix this within converse.js nor am I going to make an attempt to fix it in awesomplete.js. I recommend you contact that project directly.
