Botkit: 0.5.3 release causes constant RTM reconnects

Created on 27 Apr 2017 · 13Comments · Source: howdyai/botkit

I can confirm that 0.5.2 doesn't have this behavior.

bot    │ notice: [botkit] ** BOT ID: perconabottest ...attempting to connect to RTM!
bot    │ notice: [botkit] RTM websocket opened
bot    │ info: [slack] slack RTM connection durationMs=1504

bot    │ notice: [botkit] RTM close event: 1006 :

This will keep going on.

Was just about to post this same issue.

What happens if you set debug to true? Do you get any more information?

peterswimm on 27 Apr 2017

This may be due to an update in the websocket library we use.

I am investigating!

Trying, the 5MB of JSON data bot kit prints to debug on RTM connect isn't helping...

@jayjanssen if you downgrade the ws dependency back to 1.1.1, it should work.

not sure why this is breaking yet, but it appears to be related to that dependency.

it's not urgent enough for me to build my own custom version. I'm happy to test any new releases you come up with though.

jayjanssen on 27 Apr 2017

With the help of Slack team, we think we have a fix for this, coming soon!

I am seeing this issue with "botkit": "^0.5.1" and "botkit": "^0.5.0" versions too.

anurag-saran on 28 Apr 2017

By when are we expecting to get a fix ?

anurag-saran on 28 Apr 2017

@anurag-saran I would expect "^0.5.1" and "^0.5.0" to upgrade to the latest in the 0.5.x series. Try just "0.5.2" without the ^

jayjanssen on 28 Apr 2017

Perfect this fixed the issue. Thanks a ton.
