I followed all the guidelines and run starterbot.py on windows command prompt. It seems connected as on my Slack channel starter_bot app was online. However the bot does not work, on terminal it did not print the message "Starter Bot connected and running!", which is supposed to be printed if statement "slack_client.rtm_connect(with_team_state=False)" true.
Any suggestions? Thank you

Hi guys thanks for this bot code.
I go trough the tutorial on build-first-slack-bot.
I started the code on my Ubuntu 14.04 and run in this error.
I try to install the urllib but the error is still there.

SNIMissingWarning: An HTTPS request has been made, but the SNI (Subject Name Indication) extension to TLS is not available on this platform. This may cause the server to present an incorrect TLS certificate, which can cause validation failures. You can upgrade to a newer version of Python to solve this. For more information,

When i tried to export the token as environment variable , it throws as error export is not recognized as an internal or external command , how to resolve this .

this

    slack_client.api_call("chat.postMessage", channel=channel,
                          text=response, as_user=True)

should be

    slackclient.api_call("chat.postMessage", channel=channel,
                          text=response, as_user=True)

right?

I want to remove the @bot name, so how can I modify the program?

Hi! Im a newbie in Python Programming. I keep on getting this error. Does this program need a login credentials? Thank you for answering.

The regex for direct mention will fail if another user is mention in the message.
I.e. regex <@([WU].+)>.+ will match "<@uuser1> message <@Uuser2> more message" to the last ">" in the string.
Suggest to change to <@([WU].+?)>.+

Encountered this when I wanted the bot parse commands to interact with other users.

I've followed the guide and did all the actions but still recieve an error when trying to run a bot:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "c:\Bot\starterbot\lib\site-packages\slackclient\server.py", line 85, in rtm_connect
raise SlackLoginError(reply=reply)

Any idea?

Hi Matt,

I came upon your python Bot integration to Slack tutorial. I found it very useful and easy to use, however, I have a question regarding the action of passing variables to functions.

I came upon a python-jenkins library that is able do some basic automation steps. Below are some examples. The problem I have is that "empty" is a hard-coded name value.
server.build_job('empty')
server.disable_job('empty')

Are you aware of any way of importing variables from Slack message into my function, e.g. build_job?

Thank you for your time,
Andreea.

I am trying to run the app on a Windows machine and i keep getting the following error.
