Cannot connect to Slack

[phaniindra]

I have integrated the bot kit with Slack

Here is my CODE

const { Botkit } = require('botkit');
const { MemoryStorage } = require('botbuilder');
const { SlackAdapter } = require('botbuilder-adapter-slack');
const WatsonMiddleware = require('botkit-middleware-watson').WatsonMiddleware;

const middleware = new WatsonMiddleware({
    iam_apikey: process.env.ASSISTANT_IAM_APIKEY,
    workspace_id: process.env.WORKSPACE_ID,
    url: process.env.ASSISTANT_URL,
    version: '2018-07-10'
});

// Configure your bot.
const adapter = new SlackAdapter({
    clientSigningSecret: process.env.SLACK_CLIENT_SIGNING_SECRET,
    botToken: process.env.SLACK_TOKEN,
});
const controller = new Botkit({
    adapter,
    storage: new MemoryStorage(),
    // ...other options
});

controller.middleware.receive.use(
    middleware.receive.bind(middleware),
);

controller.hears(['.*'], ['direct_message', 'direct_mention', 'mention', 'message_received'], async (bot, message) => {
    console.log('Slack message received');
    await middleware.interpret(bot, message);
    if (message.watsonError) {
        console.log(message.watsonError);
        await bot.reply(message, message.watsonError.description || message.watsonError.error);
    } else if (message.watsonData && 'output' in message.watsonData) {
        await bot.reply(message, message.watsonData.output.text.join('\n'));
    } else {
        console.log('Error: received message in unknown format. (Is your connection with Watson Assistant up and running?)');
        await bot.reply(message, 'I\'m sorry, but for technical reasons I can\'t respond to your message');
    }
});

Integrated with Slack configuration too. But when i sent a message to Bot. I couldn't catch the message to reply from watson assistant

Thanks.

receive and interpret are different names of the same method, there is no need to call it twice.

Do you see Slack message received in the output?

[phaniindra]

No I didn't see any message on the console

Hey, Any Update on this. Still same issue

[Naktibalda]

It isn't fault of this middleware, it would be better to raise an issue in Botkit repo or ask for help in https://dev4slack.slack.com/

I think that it is possible that you missed correct message type in parameters of hears method.
