robot messageRoom not working

Question

robot messageRoom not working

Opened this issue 10 years ago · 20 comments

Hi,
I've wanted to try out the messageRoom functionality. Unfortunately I'm having problems with it, either my script is wrong, or I'm using it wrong.The script I wrote essentially does nothing (apart from logging to console). All i get is an entry in the logs: 2014-12-10_12:38:28.19080 [Wed Dec 10 2014 12:38:28 GMT+0000 (UTC)] DEBUG Message 'hubot test222222' matched regex //^[@]?hubot[:,]?\s*(?:test222222)/i/ 2014-12-10_12:38:28.19116 sent message. Any help would be appreciated.
The script:

module.exports = (robot) ->
    robot.respond /test222222/i, (msg) ->
        room = '624dbb2a-64c4-4e74-8bda-05ce7d4856ab'
        robot.messageRoom room, 'Hello'
        console.log 'sent message'

I got the room id, by doing a call to the flowdock api, like this:

curl -X GET https://<user>:<pass>@api.flowdock.com/flows

My setup:

"dependencies": {
    "coffee-script":      "1.6.3",
    "hubot-flowdock":     "0.6.0",
    "optparse":           "1.0.4",
    "scoped-http-client": "0.9.8",
    "log":                "1.4.0",
    "express":            "3.3.4",
    "aws-sdk" :           "2.0.29"
  },

hubot version - 2.4.6

Answer 1 · 2014-12-10T14:42:57.000Z

You are using an old version of the adapter, the current one is 0.7.2. What's the hubot version you're running?

Answer 2 · 2014-12-10T15:11:29.000Z

Hubot version is 2.7.4 (I made a mistake and wrote 2.4.6 in my first message).
Should I update to a newest version of the adapter and then check again?

Answer 3 · 2014-12-10T15:21:52.000Z

Yes please. The 0.6 is using an older api package version too so that might break things too.

Answer 4 · 2014-12-11T13:12:04.000Z

I've changed to 0.7.2 and I'm still getting nothing.

Answer 5 · 2014-12-11T14:37:10.000Z

I'm testing with this script (message-room.coffee) in https://gist.github.com/Mumakil/1a8b2f12c82c6cc04b89 and it works fine. Could you try if you can get any debug information with the error-handler.coffee in the same gist? It adds an error handler to hubot and logs all errors (and also tries to post the error to the first flow it knows about). Also, I didn't notice this before, but the hubot version you're using is somewhat old too. Current is 2.10.0. I've been testing with 2.9.3.

Answer 6 · 2015-01-30T15:06:23.000Z

Hi,
Sorry for the lag, but I've had other issues at work on which I had to focus.
Anyway I've tested on a fresh install of hubot, generated using yeoman. The result is similar only I've used the code from @Mumakil gist. On flowdock I can't find anything, I've got this message in the logs:

Answer 7 · 2015-02-02T08:52:35.000Z

It seems you are receiving 403 errors from the API, which means the bot probably isn't part of that flow, so it's not allowed to post to the flow. Could you double check that you can see the bot in the flow you're trying to post to and reconnect the bot (newest version of hubot-flowdock 0.7.4 reconnects automatically if flows change).

Answer 8 · 2015-02-02T09:15:43.000Z

I've checked flowdock and the robot is part of the flow, it is displayed there. I can communicate with it and the robot responds. I'll update to the newest version and check then.

Answer 9 · 2015-02-02T11:54:25.000Z

I did a clean install of hubot, with the newest flowdock adapter. I've got the 0.7.4 flowdock adapter in package.json. I checked, hubot is mentioned as a member of the flow (named kato), in status online. I tried using the command in three ways:
hubot message room kato test using the parametrized name of the flow
hubot message room Kato test using the name of the flow
hubot message room 624dbb2a-#################### using the id (I hid it for security purposes) of the flow

All of these ways failed (no message in flow), for the first two I got an error in the console, ERROR Unexpected error in Flowdock client: Error: Received status 403 and for the third - nothing was mentioned in the console.

Answer 10 · 2015-02-05T11:09:39.000Z

@Mumakil any update?

Answer 11 · 2015-02-06T06:10:57.000Z

Sorry, couldn't figure out what might be wrong by looking at our logs. Your bot/flows seem to be in correct shape too. By the way, the last format is the correct one, you need to give the message room the actual id of the flow that's being used (what the flows endpoint returns).

To debug, you could add logging to the node-flowdock adapter (should be in node_modules/hubot-flowdock/node_modules/flowdock). From there, open lib/flowdock.js and around line 99 in the request callback you can try console.log(err, res, body), which should give you the error message returned by our api.

Answer 12 · 2015-02-09T13:55:14.000Z

I have changed the flowdock.js file, I've added this line:

     return request(options, (function(_this) {
        return function(err, res, body) {
          console.log(err, res, body);
          var error;
          if (err) {
             ...

Unfortunately I don't see anything in the logs. If I use to full long id I get nothing in the logs, but the message does not appear in the flow. If I use a wrong flow id (or the flow name) I get a really long message in the logs with the full json of the error, with the message somewhere message: 'Invalid flow identifier',.
This is the startup message of hubot, maybe something here is wrong?

Answer 13 · 2015-02-16T10:25:02.000Z

@Mumakil any update?
Maybe there is something wrong with your script? I've written a test script with the room id hardcoded and it works, but I don't see any reason why this works and your doesn't. Do you have any ideas?

module.exports = (robot) ->
  robot.respond /test/i, (msg) ->
    console.log 'starting test'
    robot.messageRoom '624dbb2a-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx', 'dupa2'

Answer 14 · 2015-05-07T11:55:24.000Z

Sorry it took so long to figure out what's wrong: my script had a flaw in the Regex and didn't recognize id's with dashes... I've updated the gist above! There are also some other stability updates.

Answer 17 · 2016-04-06T10:10:36.000Z

@VijayBI sorry I'm not a developer on the hubot, hubot-flowdock or flowodck projects. I was just a user of hubot who needed some problem to be solved. Please address this issue to the maintainers of the hubot or hubot-flowdock projects.
I read the problem description that you've provided and I'm sorry to say I don't know how to help you.

Answer 20 · 2016-04-11T06:45:53.000Z

@VijayBI sorry, neither of us is working for Flowdock anymore so I doubt we'll be of much use. You should probably contact support@flowdock.com if nobody's reading these issues.
