Error using this library with Botkit. #10

I have included the botkit-storage-couchdb repo in my code, but once the code starts I get the following errors; /home/vcap/app/node_modules/botkit-storage-couchdb/lib/storage.js:85 db.insert(design.doc, _design/${design.namespace}); [APP/PROC/WEB/0]ERR ^ TypeError: db.insert is not a function at designDocs.forEach.design (/home/vcap/app/node_modules/botkit-storage-couchdb/lib/storage.js:85:12) at Array.forEach (native) at module.exports.config (/home/vcap/app/node_modules/botkit-storage-couchdb/lib/storage.js:84:16) at Object.

I am running the code on IBM's Cloud, and looking to test if I can use this repo code to connect to IBM's version of a couchdb - Cloudant. Also, how do you define usernames and passwords for connection to the db instance? Thanks.

I haven't touched this in a while so I'm not sure if nano or cloudant/couch have changed in api.

You can pass credentials in the options. It passes them directly to nano https://github.com/apache/nano#configuration

I did take a look at the code, but there seems to be very little that I could see relating to nano or couchdb calls. Do you plan to look at the code, and determine if it is due to api changes?

barlock commented 5 years ago

I don't, I don't work at IBM anymore and so don't use couch. I've also changed away from Botkit as it (at least a year ago) had a tendency to break.

This is my preferred library: https://github.com/MissionsAI/slapp

I believe there are some bots using it at github.ibm.com/whitewater if you want examples.
