heard_trigger event throws error when the heard message is sent by another bot
Hi all,
You can reproduce this issue with the following scenario:
BotA sends a message to a public channel. A BotB has a hear pattern configured which picks up the BotA's message and if we use the heard_trigger
event on this message an error is thrown.
The error is caused by the md5 hash created by the botkit/lib/Studio.js
(line 721). The heard_trigger
is trying to md5(message.user)
but since the message is sent by a bot the message.user
property doesn't exist and the heard_trigger
throws an error.
I just came across this same issue where Studio.js
is trying to md5(message.user)
but in my case message is undefined
. I am using a custom connector but when calling the spawn function (see below), CoreBot.js
triggers the spawned
event via botkit.trigger('spawned', [worker]);
which as you can see only supplies the worker argument and no message argument.
controller.spawn({}, function (bot) {
controller.ingest(bot, req.body, res);
});
A temporary solution for me to is just opt-out of studio stats, but I assume you guys probably don't want people to be opting out just to avoid a code bug.
