As title.

I'm running into trouble when trying to set the environment variables. Also, I receive the following message when running './bin/hubot -a spark':

"npm WARN [email protected] requires a peer of coffee-script@^1.12.6 but none was installed."

I'm certain it has to do with the coffee-script dependency not being present.

"npm install -g coffee-script" does not solve the issue

It looks like the ciscospark npm package is maintained by Cisco so may be a better choice unless it's missing features?

https://developer.ciscospark.com/sdk.html

the messages post endpoint allows for a markdown option. It would be great to add this as a parameter to the sendMessage function.
It looks like it would just need to be a change this:

  send: (user, message, room) ->
    @robot.logger.debug "Sending message"
    @room_ids.forEach (room_id) =>
      @robot.logger.debug "send message to room #{room_id} with text #{message}"
      @spark.sendMessage
        roomId: room_id
        text: message

to something like

  send: (user, message, room, markdownText) ->
    @robot.logger.debug "Sending message"
    @room_ids.forEach (room_id) =>
      @robot.logger.debug "send message to room #{room_id} with text #{message}"
      @spark.sendMessage
        roomId: room_id
        text: message
        markdown: markdownText

Or would it make sense to pass the desired payload straight through? Something like:

  send: (user, payload, room) ->
    @robot.logger.debug "Sending message"
    @room_ids.forEach (room_id) =>
      @robot.logger.debug "send message to room #{room_id} with text #{message}"
      @spark.sendMessage payload

Where payload is:

var payload = {
  "text": "Some text here",
  "files": ["http://www.example.com/images/media.png"]
}

or

var payload = {
  "markdown": "Some `markdown` text **here**"
}

I'm not sure if that would mess with the generic adapter though?
Thoughts?

Edit: Formatting fixes

Hello:

Normally, I have to stop hubot, make changes to the environmental variables (i.e. HUBOT_SPARK_API_URI, HUBOT_SPARK_ACCESS_TOKEN, HUBOT_SPARK_ROOMS), and then restart hubot for the changes take into affect.

Is there a way to make changes to the environmental variables live without stop and restart hubot. Like when the token changes, I can update HUBOT_SPARK_ACCESS_TOKEN in real-time. Or when I want to add/delete a room, I can assign the changes to HUBOT_SPARK_ROOMS without restarting hubot.

Hi,

I have been able to successfully install st2chatops with cisco webex teams configuration.

I can see that it is able to get message from the rooms but it is not running the command and sending the message.

Here is the log.

does it have support for running commands.

Hello.

I have no issue running heroku with campfire or locally on my mac with hubot-spark.
However, when I tried to run heroku with hubot-spark, I got this output error in heroku logs.

Please advise.

Hi Tony,

First of all thanks a lot for your dev !!!
Sorry for this second line but I've issue even if all appear to be configured properly.
Thanks in advance for your feedback and once again for your job :-D

I can't get my hubot to receive any messages from spark. Debug logging provides:

When I start Hubot using a Bot access token, it dies after about 30 seconds with the below message. Is there a parameter that need to be passed to limit the rate?

[Tue Jul 30 2019 12:02:32 GMT-0400 (Eastern Daylight Time)] INFO Hubot will shut down

It seems excessively chatty to log on every message sent, let alone received

This was: StackStorm/st2chatops#106. Posting here as this appears to be an issue in hubot-spark.

When listing multiple rooms in HUBOT_SPARK_ROOMS, responses from st2 chatops.run are delivered to all rooms instead of only the room the message originated in. Is this intended behavior? I'm currently trying to fix this in spark.coffee and will issue a pull if I get it working.

HUBOT_SPARK_ROOMS is defined as:
export HUBOT_SPARK_ROOMS='xxxxxxx,yyyyyy,zzzzzz'

Thanks.

What versions of Node, Hubot and Spark etc is known to work with hubot-spark?

Can someone please post a package.json that specifies versions of things known to work?

I get errors sometimes when starting the bot:

and
[DEP0018] DeprecationWarning: Unhandled promise rejections are deprecated. In the future, promise rejections that are not handled will terminate the Node.js process with a non-zero exit code.

Also, after a few minutes Hubot stops hearing my requests and stops answering completely randomly.

Lastly, during the brief periods I can get Hubot to connect and stay connected and hear and respond to chat when using hubot-spark as the adapter type, the responses take like 10 or 15 seconds for my bot to even hear chats which makes it slow to respond. I have been using the hubot-slack adapter for two years without any issues. What do I need to do to get hubot-spark working reliably? Specific versions of stuff or settings?

HUBOT_SPARK_ROOMS - A list of room IDs that you want your bot to listen to, seperated with commas.

It works fine when I have only 1 room. When I add more than 1 room separated with comma, I get error message.

HUBOT_SPARK_ROOMS="xxxxxxx,yyyyyyy" (where xxxxxxx and yyyyyyy are room ids)

Please advise.
