Boilerplate configuration gets error.

[alairock]

K, Not sure this is a bug, or just bad config on my part. Here is my config:
https://gist.github.com/alairock/13f50bc8987ae0d8132df2bd44d927fc

Created a new folder with just those two files. I created a virtualenv and pip install -r requirements.txt then ran sirbot -c sirbot.yaml

That's it. I added the slack env variables, and I got this error:

@ovv I think we should provide a sensible default here, meaning that a user could fire up sirbot without doing anything. Thoughts?

[alairock]

Fixed it on my end. Looks like this error is happening because some environment variables were not set. Probably could just update this section to have better messaging / error handling.

[ovv]

I think I figured out what happened.

It depends if you use the rtm api (websocket) or the webhook api.

You can also use the webhook APi and for that you need to activate the events subscription for your slack app and add an endpoint for events

Or use the rtm where you need to have the SIRBOT_SLACK_BOT_TOKEN environment variable to be your bot token (the one starting by xoxb for that you need to add a bot to the slack app) and add rtm: true in the slack part of your config file (just added that today it was just looking for the env var before)

Feel free to reopen if you still have errors :)
