Having issues to setup this Bot

[netdevilz]

Hello, I am missing something while setting up this bot. 1) Created virtualenv 2) Create settings and run files 3) pip install botty-mcbotface 4) python run.py

It's throwing error can't import TIMEZONE from settings file.

Can you someone help please?

@netdevilz hey! Looks like you found a literal "undocumented feature" XD

I'll add this to the documentation, but real quick, that error comes from the init module here. All you need to do is add a variable to your slackbot_settings.py named TIMEZONE and give it a value that is compatible with pytz timezone feature. The app will then consume that and should fix the error.

Please let me know if this helps or not, sorry about that!

@DannyHinshaw Thanks for getting back. After adding TIMEZONE variable now it's throwing below error

That I am not sure of... what is your run.py contents and where did you place it?

[DannyHinshaw]

@netdevilz I see now, it's another literal undocumented feature

add:

bot = Bot()

to your run.py file above the main definition.
