Botpress X support #5

Open Japh opened 6 years ago

Japh commented 6 years ago

Are you planning to update to support Botpress X? Any estimated timeframe?

MagnificentPako commented 6 years ago

I'm not really sure what Botpress X is, tbh. I've been "out of the loop" for some time now but I'll definitely take a look, considering that people actually use this, or at least intend to.

Japh commented 6 years ago

It's the upcoming major version update, that breaks backwards compatibility, but is in beta at the moment.

I've reverted back to the Botpress stable version so I can use this module.

MagnificentPako commented 6 years ago

Oh, I'll definitely take a look now then.

As a user, would you prefer I keep the function names as they are or revert some of my idiocy and make them look more "standard"? (I believe i messed up the text sending one and the event for text messages which, I believe, makes it harder to interact with).

I'll unfortunately have to put this on hold until the core developers decide to make Botpress X actually work. I tried to run it using NodeJS 9.8 which resulted in it not even installing. Then I downgraded to 8.10 and I was greeted with a new message telling me that the generated bot only runs on versions up to 8.9. Because I couldn't bother downgrading again I decided to change the requirements in the package.json instead. When trying to run the bot with yarn start I'm greeted with a multitude of errors. Even after following the acclaimed fix from Luiz Carvalho which just shifted it to another error message and the inability to initialize new bots.

I sincerely hope they fix this :/

Standardising would be better, and yeah I had to hack the text sending one because it was sending an embed all the time, no checks.

Sad to hear that... I too hope they fix it. I imagine they will before release.

It was working fine for me on LTS. I just use nvm to install whatever Node version is needed for a project.

Hey ! Now Botpress X is stable . So, are you planning to update to support Botpress X? Any estimated timeframe?

MagnificentPako commented 4 years ago

@PilouFaace hey, sorry for the late reply. Botpress changed a lot from when I first started using it and I unfortunately don't have the time to re-learn it; University is occupying a lot of my energy. If I ever get some free time I'll definitely take a look again, although I can't promise anything.
