Recognizes stock but doesn't post and dependencies issues #52

Closed masterb4 closed 3 years ago

Hey,

Recognized a few errors while setting up the monitor today. I installed all the dependencies listed in package.json and their proper versions after having the issue with it not posting to the discord channel. However, I noticed a few of these dependencies were depreciated. Not sure if this contributes to the issue I am having. The two dependencies I noticed that were depreciated were request and request-promise. Discord bot had all permissions.

When you add your item for the first time, the state of that item (eg. price, in/out of stock, etc.) is saved. The bot will not post about an item, even if it is in stock, if the state is the same as it was previously. It would be spammy otherwise.

You can test to make sure the bot is watching prices properly by going into the watchlist.json, finding an item, and changing the lastPrice to something higher than the actual price. When you restart the bot, it should post about an updated price.

Perfect, that worked! Thanks for your help!
