How to make sure that a chat-room was left successfully? (instance.connection.muc.leave())

Question

Here I've found that there's an ability to add a callback as the 3rd argument to a leave method: https://github.com/metajack/strophejs-plugins/blob/96da306f5394b901e190a3f7365fbbb676fddb51/muc/strophe.muc.js#L117

But it doesn't work. How to add a callback or something else to a instance.connection.muc.leave() method to make sure that a chat-room was left successfully? Maybe there are some more ways to make sure that we have left a chat-room?

function handler_cb() {
  console.log('>>>>>>>>> leave was successfull');
}
function leaveChat() {
  instance.connection.muc.leave(room, nick, handler_cb);
}

I think there is a mistake in the plugin itself

They use presenceid (stanza id) attribute to match a response from server https://github.com/metajack/strophejs-plugins/blob/master/muc/strophe.muc.js#L146

but not all the servers use stanza id in presences. Actually there is nothing about presence ID in XEP-0045 exit presence, so some servers may implement an ID echo logic but mostly not (and looks like your XMPP server as well)

So I recommend to set this header by yourself, w/o 'presenceid':

function leaveChat() {
  instance.connection.addHandler(leaveCallback, null, "presence", "unavailable");
  instance.connection.muc.leave(room, nick);
}

function leaveCallback() {
  console.log('>>>>>>>>> leave was successfull');
  instance.connection.deleteHandler(leaveCallback);
}
