sdk_hook_not_found when following Quick-Start

Open Equirinya opened this issue 1 year ago • 25 comments

I've followed the Quick-Start https://api.slack.com/automation/quickstart and but no matter which template I'm cloning i always get this error: The start script was not found (sdk_hook_not_found).:

This is the slack doctor:

The slack.json file is present and looks like this:

{
  "hooks": {
    "get-hooks": "deno run -q --allow-read --allow-net https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/mod.ts"
  }
}

Im executing the slack run command in the right folder I've upgraded the slack cli to the latest version the slack.json file is identical to the one of this slack-sample

These are the logs:

Very similar to this reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Slack/comments/1btrarr/please_test_my_open_ai_slack_bot/

Equirinya avatar May 05 '24 09:05 Equirinya

Hi, @Equirinya! I have just merged in some dependency updates in this PR for this template: https://github.com/slack-samples/deno-starter-template/pull/64, could you try to follow the quickstart guide again to create a new app and run it and see if you get the same errors?

hello-ashleyintech avatar May 06 '24 15:05 hello-ashleyintech

I have exactly same error with @Equirinya. @hello-ashleyintech I created a new app and run it but I got the same error:The start script was not found (sdk_hook_not_found) The slack.json file is present and looks like this: { "hooks": { "get-hooks": "deno run -q --allow-read --allow-net https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/mod.ts" } }

Hi, @whogodemo!

How recently did you create this new app?

hello-ashleyintech avatar May 10 '24 15:05 hello-ashleyintech

Unfortunately its the same error still @hello-ashleyintech

Equirinya avatar May 10 '24 16:05 Equirinya

👋 This might be caused by the PowerShell version being used with CLI implementations of hook execution, but not the actual hook implementations. The exec: "pwsh": executable file not found hints that the PowerShell version installed is less than 6.0 while support for pwsh is added in 6.0. Right now this is the minimum version supported by the CLI.

If you're using PowerShell could you check the version you're using? I'm wondering if this might be causing this issue and if bumping to a more recent version is possible?

zimeg avatar May 10 '24 21:05 zimeg

Alo alo 😃

I want to confirm that I solved the problem updating to PowerShell 7; you can't check your PS version running.

$PSVersionTable

I got the same issue on macOS, here are my slack doctor outputs

✘ Runtime (foundations for the application)
      Error: The `doctor` hook was not found (sdk_hook_not_found)
      Suggestion: Ensure this hook is implemented in your `slack.json`

✘ Dependencies (requisites for development)
     Error: The `check-update` hook was not found (sdk_hook_not_found)
     Suggestion: Ensure this hook is implemented in your `slack.json`

There are few notes in the docs but I'm pretty sure my deno-slack-hooks is v1.3.0

Because this is my slack.json file

{
  "hooks": {
    "get-hooks": "deno run -q --allow-read --allow-net https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/mod.ts"
  }
}

Does anyone know how to solve this issue 😢

tult98 avatar Jul 27 '24 17:07 tult98

@tult98 The contents of slack.json look good to me, but it might be possible that the deno command isn't being found in you $PATH 🤔 Could you try running just the following command to see if it outputs JSON that starts with {"runtime": "deno", ...?

$ deno run -q --allow-read --allow-net https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/mod.ts

I'd also be interested in the debug logs shown with a command like slack run -v since the following should be shown early in the execution:

Thanks for the quick response @zimeg

Here are the outputs from deno run -q --allow-read --allow-net https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/mod.ts command. It might be the problem here 🤔

@tult98 Interesting 👀 This might be VPN or network settings blocking a connection to https://deno.land 🦕

Wanting to rule a few things out- are you connected through a VPN? And does the following command on the same machine work for you?

$ deno run https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/cowsay.ts -t="greetings"

zimeg avatar Jul 28 '24 04:07 zimeg

ah yes, I did use a VPN, it might be the problem. Let me turn off the VPN and try again. Thanks for your support 🙏

are you connected through a VPN

No, it doesn't

does the following command on the same machine work for you?

tult98 avatar Jul 29 '24 01:07 tult98

hey guys, I got the same problem now.... I'm pretty sure my PowerShell is the newest version(7.4.4).

Here is the problem:

The `start` script was not found (sdk_hook_not_found)

Here is my Slack doctor result:

✘ Runtime (foundations for the application)
      Error: The `doctor` hook was not found (sdk_hook_not_found)
✘ Dependencies (requisites for development)
      Error: The `check-update` hook was not found (sdk_hook_not_found)

And my slack.json code:

{
  "hooks": {
    "get-hooks": "deno run -q --allow-read --allow-net https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/mod.ts"
  }
}

Did anyone solve this problem already? Thank you!!

as43647 avatar Aug 16 '24 08:08 as43647

@as43647 👋 Hi! Which version of the CLI is this happening with? My first guess is that the deno command is not being found but this might be related to how PowerShell and the CLI communicate when the hooks are called 🤔

zimeg avatar Aug 16 '24 08:08 zimeg

Hi @zimeg !! My version is slack.exe v2.29.1 yeah I run the deno command and it starts with {"runtime": "deno", ... I also run slack run -v and it shows:

@as43647 🤔 Hmm... For pedantics does the deno run response match the following and parse as valid JSON?

  "hooks": {

  }
}

Asking because this line is a bit suspicious with the invalid . character!

[2024-08-16 18:07:02] failed to initialize slack.json configurations: invalid character '.' looking for beginning of value

This might also be caused by the environment you're running slack and deno in. It's possible that a debugger or similar program is adding additional output to the deno command and causing unexpected parsings with the CLI 🤔

If the output above matches and these commands are run with the same path and shell, I'll be a bit stumped but we'll of course continue investigations! :mag:

zimeg avatar Aug 16 '24 22:08 zimeg

Hey @zimeg ~

My Deno version is: deno 1.45.5 (release, x86_64-pc-windows-msvc) v8 12.7.224.13 typescript 5.5.2

There are some different between two json file deno_slack_hooks and deno_slack_runtime. Both are different version. Should I upgrade them? (my version are 1.3.0 and 1.1.1 btw)

Thank u!!

as43647 avatar Aug 19 '24 03:08 as43647

@as43647 👀 All of those versions seem alright to me! It is notable that Windows is being used, but I don't believe that should be causing a problem...

Can you share the outputs from these commands when running in a project directory?

$ deno run -q --allow-read --allow-net https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/mod.ts
$ deno run -q --config=deno.jsonc --allow-read --allow-net --allow-env https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/get_manifest.ts
$ slack manifest

I'm hoping to figure out if this is caused by deno or how the CLI is interpreting the "hook" responses 🤔

slack manifest

Check C:\Users\as436.slack\logs\slack-debug-20240822.log for error logs The manifest script was not found (sdk_hook_not_found)

Suggestion Hook scripts are defined in the Slack configuration file ('slack.json'). Every app requires a 'slack.json' file and you can find a working example at: https://github.com/slack-samples/deno-starter-template/blob/main/slack.json

Thank you!

Over a year in and still an issue

@stephenhuh We've since improved verbose logging with the CLI and it still isn't clear what causes this error.

Could you share the outputs of the following command?

$ slack manifest --verbose

Sometimes these errors occur due to the Deno version or OS being used and these details are helpful to include!

Bit of a mess really. The quickstart docs and/or troubleshooting section could definitely use an update.

I ran into this same problem on OSX. The issue is mainly the way the docs are telling you to install the CLI (and/or the lack of useful info in the Troubleshooting section).

Issue encountered:

  1. Per quickstart docs, executed the install.sh script using: curl -fsSL https://downloads.slack-edge.com/slack-cli/install.sh | bash
  2. This errored due to permissions and not being able to create the slack symlink in /usr/local/bin
    1. As per troubleshooting section of link above, tried re-running the install prefixed with sudo - despite what docs say, this still throws the same permission error
  3. Created symlink manually using sudo ln -sf "/Users/myusername/.slack/bin/slack" "/usr/local/bin/slack"
  4. Was able to successfully slack login and slack create the starter app using this template (slack create slack-app --template https://github.com/slack-samples/deno-starter-template)
  5. Now finally: slack run throws the same "The start script was not found (sdk_hook_not_found)" error that led me to this issue

The following is how I got around this - hopefully of use to someone else too:

  1. Manually download the install.sh script, chmod +x install.sh && sudo ./install.sh
    1. This now errored due to Deno not being installed: 
      Installing Deno using Homebrew...
Error: Running Homebrew as root is extremely dangerous and no longer supported.
  2. Checked the install.sh and installed Deno as per their: brew install deno (note - requires Homebrew)
  3. slack run 👍
